OP ALA, J.,
concurring in result.
I concur in result. The trial court’s ruling for the child’s transfer should be affirmed on a legal basis different from that urged below and on appeal. The public interest clearly supports the child’s position. That interest favors continuity of attendance “once a child’s residential status has been honestly established and openly maintained.... ” The school district is hence estopped by a long period of acquiescence to refuse the transfer that was sought in this ease. Burdick v. Independent School Dist., 1985 OK 49, 702 P.2d 48, 54-56.
