I do not reach the question whether the July 1983 amendments to Education Code section 44944 (Stats. 1983, ch. 498, § 59) *336may be applied to this case. In my view, application of that statute is unnecessary to the result. In all other respects, I concur in the court’s opinion.
A petition for a rehearing was denied September 16, 1985, and the petition of real party in interest and appellant for review by the Supreme Court was denied November 27, 1985.
