        "text": "Tom Glaze, Justice,\ndissenting. This case should have initially come to the Arkansas Supreme Court since it involves the interpretation of \u201cThe Teacher Fair Dismissal Act\u201d (Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7\u00a7 6-17-1501-1510 (1987) and the Arkansas Administration Procedures Act (APA) (Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7\u00a7 25-15-201-214 (1987). See Rule 29, 6(a) of the Arkansas Rules of Supreme Court. Neither party cited the APA in their briefs before the court of appeals, but that court in reaching its decision relied on cases construing the APA \u2014 an Act which this court has held applies only to state agencies and does not include school districts. Corbin v. Spec. School Dist. of Fort Smith, 250 Ark. 357, 465 S.W.2d 342 (1971). In doing so, the court of appeals held petitioner Ronald Davis never objected to having no opportunity to cross-examine certain students or their parents before the respondent\u2019s school board proceeding and therefore Davis effectively waived his rights to cross-examine those witnesses. Davis argues \u00a7 6-17-1510(d) of The Teacher Fair Dismissal Act allows additional testimony and evidence in an appeal to show facts that his or her termination or renewal was lawful or unlawful.\nObviously the construction of the foregoing Acts comes into play in reaching the parties\u2019 issue on appeal. This court should particularly grant certiorari since the court of appeals decided this appeal based in part by construction of the APA when that Act was never previously mentioned by the respective parties.\nBrown, J., joins this dissent.",
