Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Cloudman

WELCH, V. C. J.

(dissenting). I agree with much of the legal philosophy of the majority opinion as to discretionary powers of the board of education in operating the schools, but cannot agree that in their discretion they have the power to spend public funds for unauthorized and illegal purposes, and I think as a whole the majority opinion is not justified by the facts shown by the petition which are admitted by the demurrer, and that as a whole it is clearly contrary to the statutes, and to our former decisions.

The majority opinion overlooks the fact that expenditures sued upon here were made…
