CASE ANNOTATIONS
1. Positions of teacher and school board member in same district are incompatible, but teacher's contractual employment endures. U.S.D. No. 501 v. Baker, 269 Kan. 239, 6 P.3d 848 (2000).
2. Kansas superintendent plausibly alleged a protected property interest based on the termination of his contract; a possibly illegal benefits clause did not strip the school board of all power to enter into a contract with the superintendent; the post-termination benefits clause did not violate the Kansas cash basis law. Gilhaus v. Gardner Edgerton Unified Sch. Dist. No. 231, 138 F. Supp. 3d 1228, 1238 (D. Kan. 2015).
