School district cooperative brought declaratory-judgment action against nonmember school district, seeking to continue to operate a school within school district’s boundaries without school district’s permission.
School district filed counterclaim and third-party claim against contractor that operated school for cooperative, seeking an opposite declaratory judgment. The District Court denied school district’s motion for partial summary judgment and granted cooperative and contractor’s motion for summary judgment. School district appealed.
The Court of Appeals held that for purposes of statute allowing school district cooperative to lease sites and buildings to provide facilities necessary for operation of cooperative service program at any appropriate location, “any appropriate location” means any location in the geographic bounds of a participating member school district.
