Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. School Districts — No tice of Special Meeting — Purchase of Additional Schoolhouse Site. A notice of a special meeting of the voters of a school district stating that it is called for the purpose of selecting a particular site, describing it, is not invalid because the call was limited to the proposed purchase of a designated site.</p> <p>2. Same — Vote to Purchase Additional Site for Schoolhouse — Not to Change Schoolhouse Site. The school district proposing to purchase the site included within its boundaries a city of the third class and already had two school buildings, one of which was used in part for high-school purposes, and the people of the district desiring to acquire another site upon which to erect another building to be used mainly for high-school purposes, voted to make the purchase of a designated site. No action had been taken by the district as to the future use or disposition of the old high-school building. Held, that the proposed action is to be regarded as the purchase of an additional site rather than a change of site.</p> <p>3. Same — School Districts May Acquire More Than One Schoolhouse Site. It is competent for a school district to acquire more than one site and erect additional school buildings thereon where more schools are necessary in the district, and the purchase of such additional site may be authorized by a majority of those voting at a legally called meeting.</p>
