In Pavilion Cent. School Dist. v. Pavilion Faculty Ass'n, 51 A.D.2d 119 (4th Dep't 1976), lv. dismissed 40 N.Y.2d 803 (1976) the school district violated the 60-day notice requirement when it notified a teacher that she would not be offered tenure. (Id., at 120.) The purpose underlying the notice provision was to give teachers lead time to secure other employment. Since the teacher in question was taking one year off on maternity leave and unquestionably would not be see king other employment anyway, an award reinstating her for another year was totally irrational as she suffered no harm from violation of the notice provision. (Id., at 124.)
