New Public School District #8 v. State Board of Public School Education

Nos. 20160209 & 20160210

Per Curiam.

[¶1] New Public School District #8 appealed after the district court affirmed an order of the State Board of Public School Education approving petitions to transfer property from New Public School District to the Williston School District.  New Public School District argues the petitions did not meet the statutory requirements under N.D.C.C. §§ 15.1-12-03 and 15.1-12-05, and the subject property was not contiguous with the Williston School District at the time the hearing was held under N.D.C.C. § 15.1-12-03(1).  We summarily affirm the district court’s judgments under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(7).   See New Public School District #8 v. State Board of Public School Education , 2016 ND 163, 883 N.W.2d 460.
