§ 37-9-35. Employment of teachers to be paid from minimum education program funds.
 

No school district shall employ any teachers to be paid in whole or in part from minimum education program funds in excess of the number allowable under chapter 19 of this title, but as provided in said chapter the number of teachers paid in whole or in part from minimum education program funds shall be determined by the average daily attendance for the preceding year, and a reduction in the average daily attendance during a current year from that existing in the preceding year shall not authorize the discharge or release of a teacher or teachers during such current year. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit any school district from employing such additional teachers as it may deem necessary provided that such teachers are paid wholly from funds other than minimum education program funds.
