A.R.S. § 15-543: Appeal from decision of board

A. The decision of the governing board is final unless the certificated teacher files, within thirty days after the date of the decision, an appeal with the superior court in the county within which he was employed.

B. The decision of the governing board may be reviewed by the court in the same manner as the decision made in accordance with section 41-783.
