State ex rel. Yost v. Columbus City Schools Bd. of Edn.

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the attorney general’s mandamus action against the Columbus City Schools Board of Education for lack of standing, holding that parens patriae standing does not apply in mandamus cases. The Court also granted the attorney general’s motion to file rebuttal evidence, denied the school board’s motion to file a rebuttal affidavit, and overruled the board’s evidentiary objections. The action was therefore dismissed.
