Syllabus

<p>Schools and School Districts (8)—Alteration of Districts— Powers of Superintendent. The power of the county superintendent of schools under Rem. Code, § 4433, to change the boundaries of school districts being a political one, his exercise of the power with respect to certain districts does not preclude action on subsequent petitions for alteration of the same districts.</p> <p>Same (11)—Alteration of Districts—Appeal—Review. The fact -that an order of the county superintendent of schools changing district boundaries was appealed to the board of county commissioners and a decision rendered thereon unappealed from would not constitute the board’s decision res judicata within the provisions of Rem. Code, § 4711, since such section applies only to matters within the board’s power to finally decide, such as allowance of claims.</p>
