through kind of modified or did away with the hand way that originally talked about a distinction between the legislative and the ministry of body and said you have the right to vote for a legislative body but you don't have the right to vote for the ministry of the body and then there's this kind of murky test out of the simple rule is very we started getting public schools and to eliminating the crisis has it continued to perpetuate it because when i look at it i'm from my west i have lived through all this but i've been to chicago long enough and i read the newspaper and i've sued the bread of education enough to know that this moral system you know that the present system isn't working it's still a legislative did determination to address the issue under article ten section one of the illinois constitution it's the general assembly that's directed to provide for the efficient system of high them versus board of education for the city of chicago but the only constitution does not create a fundamental right to vote for school board members that wait must be statutory granted but what about your opponent's argument that the fundamental right to vote and so the legislature and the general assembly decides whether or not to grant that right and with respect to its largest school district it is chosen in a point of system and historically chicago is always had an appointed system  no you want to there's no there's no need for a man because as a matter of law the legislation needs to ration but the rational basis test the state has a legitimate interest i'm interested in how to how to legislate school districts whether a large urban school district might require might require in a plane and school board and the legislature should have some flexibility in considering the circumstances facing that school district and have some ability to try different methods of solving the issues concerning its schools again it's the constitution to the legislature to the general assembly under article ten power to to legislate the local school council and the court how the statute to change the selection process entirely to the court called the statute that changed the election process for the board of trustees of the university of illinois from an elective to an appointed process violated the right to vote but only in so far that it only in so far is that it removed duly elected officials from office before their term expired and the reasoning for that decision it was that it essentially notified votes that had been case the court upheld the portion of the statute that changed the board of trustees election so i feel like to try to point to process it just said that you know that that system could only take a fact upon the expiration of th the first thing i would add is that it's important to recognize in addition to everything that's been said there's no restriction on the legislature making distinctions between different school districts these are different political subdivisions of the state and there's nothing t that shows that there's any restrictions on the legislatures ability to treat districts differently it made a decision for the reasons certainly a large school district in the intricacies of such a body and the ability to perhaps get wor the board members through appointment as opposed to election and it made that determination and it's for the legislature to decide differently if that's the case the other thing i'd point out is that the rational basis test which has to apply to no resident of a school district has an inherent right of franchise insofar as school russians are concerned his right but they're in is a purely permissive numbers by the legislative place and further into the positive the legislature and i understand that the plaintiffs believe that there's a better way t do it in chicago that better way is to come into existence has been through the legislature which is what they're considering now i think
