Syllabus

<p>Statutes (62)—Construction — Conflicting Sections. Rem. Code, § 4711, of the school code, being later in time, controls earlier sections in the same code, so far as there is conflict.</p> <p>Schools and School Districts (11)—Boundaries—Alteration— Review of Decision. Under Rem. Code, § 4711, of the school code, providing that decisions on appeal by the county commissioners shall be final unless set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action brought to review the same, certiorari lies to review decisions on appeal from the county superintendent, notwithstanding the earlier section 4707 provides that decisions on appeal by the board shall be final.</p> <p>•Same (11). Under Rem. Code, § 4707, providing for appeals from decisions of the county superintendent to the county commissioners, and § 4711, providing for review by the courts of the latter, appeal lies to the board from the school superintendent, and certiorari lies to the courts from the board but not from the school superintendent.</p> <p>Same (7-1-9) — Boundaries—Alteration—Petition — Requisites. Upon petition to the county school superintendent for a change of school district boundaries, the superintendent cannot radically depart from the petition and transfer from one district to another territory not described in the petition, except as necessary to correct the descriptions.</p>
