Honorable i. 4. Woods, June 1, 1990, Page 3 eeu

administrative jurisdiction of the said
district shall be vested in the County
Board of said county, *

We think that the foregoing statutcs clearly indicate
that when & Gounty line school district is created, and the
nanagesent and contrel of the public schools therein is placed
in one of the counties haying territory in the echool district,
that county shall have the management and control of the pub-
lic schools therein for all school purposes, including the es-
tablishnent of a transportation system.

it is our opinion that the county having tho control
ani managesent of a county line achool district is authorized
to set up the systen of transportation for said district, and
the County Boards of other counties, which may have territory
included within such county line district are without author-
ity te establish a aysten of transpertation therein.

"ith reference to your second question, it is our
opinion that the County Board of School Trustees of the comty
euthorized to set up the transportation systen for a comty
line district would not be authorized to prevent the “invasion
Of its territery by cther county busses" by self help, or
foree of arms, and if should resort to the courts ve bave
no means of deternining Sllogstions might be contained in
their petitions, or what facte might be developed upen the
trial. We think that it is reasonable te sesume that. the yar~
jous County Boards of Trustees will couply with the law when
advised of their authority.

Yours very truly
