The opinion of the court was delivered by
Pashman, J.
Plaintiff in this case, the Township of Franklin, challenges the apportionment of seats on the regional school board of the North Hunterdon Regional High School District. Essentially, it argues that the apportionment formula embodied in N. J. S. A. 18A:13-8, as applied to its district, violates the “one-person, one-vote” rule laid down by the United States Supreme Court. See Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533, 84 S. Ct. 1362, 12 L. Ed. 2d 506 (1964).
