OAG 82-59 was Followed by OAG 01-007

OAG 82-59 is cited in the decision to support the argument that local school boards cannot impose residency requirements on school personnel, such as teachers. This previous opinion reasoned that the General Assembly had preempted the field through various statutes relating to school employees and their qualifications, thereby not allowing local school boards to add additional requirements like residency. The decision uses this reasoning to argue against the residency requirement for principals, suggesting that the same principles apply.
