June 8, 1940

BY: FILO M. SEDILLO, Attorney General

TO: Mr. W. W. Stuart, Superintendent, Mr. Carl Seligman, President, Grants Union High School, Grants, New Mexico.

{*146} In your letter of June 6th you state that The Board of Education of Grants Union High School contemplates enacting a rule to the effect that married lady teachers shall not be employed.

You desire to know whether or not such a ruling would be legal. Since the board has the power to employ and discharge all teachers, I believe that the board has the authority to enact the above mentioned regulation.

 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
