Summary

The court affirmed a declaratory judgment allowing a school district to proceed with a lease-purchase financing arrangement without prior county approval. It held that the later-enacted statute authorizing districts to lease school property for civic or public purposes specifically applies to the arrangement and qualifies the earlier general consent requirement. The court therefore did not reach the appellants’ remaining arguments.
