Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Prior to April 7,1995, a “teacher” was defined broadly under the [Fair Dismissal Act] to include school administrators like high school principals. See OCGA § 20-2-942 (a) (4) (1994). Significantly, however, the General Assembly amended the [Fair Dismissal Act] as of that date to exclude school administrators from the definition of “teacher.” See Ga. L. 1995, p. 304, §§ 1-2. Hence, the general rule under the current version of the [Fair Dismissal Act] is that school employees who became school administrators on or after April 7, 1995 are not entitled to the procedural rights afforded teachers with respect to the nonrenewal of their employment contracts. See OCGA § 20-2-942 (c) (1).”
