They clarify the steps you should take to keep your teacher's certifi cate valid. this act. The Act 54 of the Public Acts of 1030 changed the method of filing the Oath of Allegiance required of teachers. The Act became effec tive on September 29. Certain questions of interpretation have been submitted to the At torney General. His opinions are summarized as follows: 1. Will an oath filed -with the Superintend ent of Public Instruction before Septem ber 29 be properly filed ? No oath filed before September 29 is properly filed. 2. May oaths be filed with the Superintend ent of Public Instruction after the ex piration of the 90-day period, provided for filing oaths by the Act? Oaths will not be accepted for filing after the expiration of the 00-day period following September 29. The first date on which a teacher's oaths could be filed was September 29. All oaths must be filed before December 28, 1939. 3. What effect will failure to take and to file the Oath of Allegiance within the 90- day period have on the certificate of the teacher failing to file? The certificate of the teacher who fails to take and to file the oath within the 90-day period is no longer valid nor legal. Such a teacher will not hold a legal certificate of qualification, and. therefore, can make no contract to teach in the State of Michigan. UNION MEMORIAL BUILDING AUtmu!
