Newton, J.,
concurring.
I agree with and concur in the Per Curiam opinion adopted by the court; however, I wish to point out *510that under the legislative implementation of the constitutional command to provide for the common schools, local school districts are not part of state government nor are they state institutions within the meaning of the language of Article III, section 3, of the Constitution of Nebraska.
Local school districts in Nebraska are units of local self-government. Campbell v. Area Vocational Technical School No. 2, 183 Neb. 318, 159 N. W. 2d 817; Schulz v. Dixon County, 134 Neb. 549, 279 N. W. 179. Our decisions in this area are clear to the effect that the mere fact that a state has some supervisory control over institutions that the Legislature has created does not mean that such institutions are part of “state government” or are “state institutions” under Article III, section 3, of the Constitution of Nebraska.
Spencer, J., joins in this concurrence.
