Dear Mr. Edgar:Opinion No. WW-1452
Re: Whether a board of trustees
of a school district which
teaches only elementary grades,
retain any rights to control
or protest and the county
school board has the authority
to cancel applications for
transfer of resident pupils
who have attained high school
status.Enclosed in your letter of September 20, 1962, is a
copy of a ruling by your office, rendered on July 11, 1962, which
holds that a resident school district that does not teach high
school grades, is legally ineligible to invoke by protest or other-
wise the Jurisdiction of the county school board to annul or can-
cel parental applications for transfer of resident high school
scholastics to a school district teaching high school grades.
Article 2696, Vernon's Civil Statutes, reads in part:
"Any child lawfully enrolled in any district
or independent district may by order of the county
superintendent, approved in writing, be transferred
to the enrollment of any other district or indepen-
dent district in the same county upon a written ap-
plication of the parent or guardian or person having
lawful control of such child, filed with the county
superintendent, not later than June 1; provided that
any district or independent district being dissatis-
fied with any transfers made by approval in writing
of the county superintendent may appeal from such
action to the county board of trustees of said
county who shall have the right to annul and can-
cel the transfer allowed by the county superintendent.
"The applicant shall state in said application
that it is his bona fide intention to send said child
to the school to which the transfer is asked.1962
