THE ATTOIINEY GENERALL
March 7, 1958
Dr. James A. Turman Opinion No. WW-388
Executive Secretary
Texas Youth Council Re: Authority of Texas Youth
Austin, Texas Council to renew and
extend contractual agree-
ments now in effect with
Independent School Dis-
tricts in the cities in
which the respective State
Children's Homes are located;
Dear Dr. Turman: and related questions.
We have received your letter of February 10, 1958, in
which you submitted the following questions for our opinion:
"1. In order to provide maximum educational
opportunities for scholastics at the State Chil-
dren's Homes under Texas Youth Council jurisdiction,
can the Council renew and extend contractual
agreements now in effect with Independent School
Districts in the cities in which the respective
State Children's Homes are located?
"2. If your answer to the above question is
in the affirmative, can such contractual agreements
cause the State Home Independent School Districts
to lose Independent School District status under
the so-called dormant school statutes or by other
means except by legislative action?
"3. Even if all scholastics in the Children's
Homes, grades one through twelve, attend public
schools under such contractual agreements, made or
renewed annually, can such agreements bring any
change in the Home's Independent School District
status except through specific action by the
Legislature?"
Article 2666, Vernon's Civil Statutes, is the author-ity for the existence of independent school districts at the
institutions in question. Attorney General's Opinion WW-285
(1957).
