School District No. 9 v. District Boundary Board

This case relates to boundary changes of school districts in Fremont County, Wyoming, under § 21-211, W.S. 1957. On May 22, 1957, the chairman of the board of trustees of School District 25, wrote to the board of county commissioners asking that a meeting of the district boundary board be called to consider the transferring of two or three southern tiers of townships from District 40 to District 25. The chairman of the board of county commissioners called a meeting of the boundary board to sit on June 5, 1957, at which time the commissioners and county treasurer were present, as were a number of interested citizens. The county superintendent was absent from the State during the month of June until about July 3; and Mattie Lee Brown, a receptionist in her office, attended the purported boundary board meeting and took minutes.
