PER CURIAM.

    The Missouri National Education Association appeals
the decision of the district court denying tenure
protection to teachers formerly employed by the Special
School District of St. Louis County and to be employed by
the St. Louis Career Education District. In light of the
opinion filed today in consolidated appeals numbers 96-
2881, 96-3259, 96-3265, 96-3267, 96-3885, 97-1736, 97-
1737, 97-1760, and 97-2378, we remand this matter to the
district court to consider with the consolidated cases
and to enter an order after making findings of fact and
conclusions of law.
