“No teacher on continuing tenure shall discontinue his services with any controlling board except by mutual consent, without giving written notice to said controlling board at least sixty (60) days before September 1 of an ensuing school year. Any teacher discontinuing his services in any other manner than as provided in this section shall forfeit his rights to continuing tenure previously acquired under this act.”
