Visser V. Nooksack Valley School District No. 506

The plaintiffs, Yelte Visser and Jennie Visser, his wife, instituted this action, seeking a writ of mandamus to compel the defendants, Nooksack Valley School District No. 506, Whatcom county, and the members of its board of directors, forthwith to permit plaintiffs' minor children, in their attendance upon a religious, private school within the defendant school district, to use the transportation facilities provided and operated by the defendants for children attending public school within that same district. Defendants appeared and by proper pleadings resisted plaintiffs' action. Archibald Larson Wight, a resident and taxpayer of the school district, was permitted, upon his complaint in intervention, to intervene in the action and join with the defendants in resisting plaintiffs' claims and demands.
