In the Matter of Susan Gould v. Board of Education of the Sewanhaka Central High School District

Summary

The Court held that Susan Gould acquired tenure by estoppel after her probationary period was reduced by statute and that her resignation, entered under a mutual mistake of fact, was ineffective and could be rescinded. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Supreme Court judgment granting her reinstatement as a tenured teacher.
