In addition, we call attention to Section 1, Article
2756c, Vernon's Civil Statutes, which reads in part as follows:
"Any school district created or established by
the State Board of Education under the provisions
of either Article 2666, Revised Civil Statutes of
1925, . . . may be abolished by order of the State
Board of Education upon written request . . . of
the board of trustees of the school district.
Notice of the order of abolishment in writing
shall be given to the trustees of such independent
school district and to the county board of school
trustees of the county in which the district is
located. From and after the effective date of
this Act, the authority heretofore vested in the
State Board of Education to create or establish
school districts under any Statute of this state
is hereby abolished. "
Since this statute is specifically directed to the
districts in question, we are of the opinion that the status
of the independent school districts at the institutions in
question would not be affected by your proposed plan of opera-
tion, absent action of the State Board of Education in
accordance with the provisions of Article 2756c, Vernon's
Civil Statutes. The status of the school districts existing
at the affected institutions could be altered only by legisla-
tive action or in accordance with the provisions of Article 2756c.
SUMMARY
The Texas Youth Council may 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. There being specific legislation
pertaining to the abolition of Independent
School Districts established under Article
2666, Vernon's Civil Statutes, the general
provisions of Article 2922-18 do not apply
to such districts
Very truly yours,
