Linares v. Sch. Bd. of Pasco Cnty.
Linares v. Sch. Bd. of Pasco Cnty.
Opinion of the Court
In this appeal, several Pasco County parents and students (Parents) challenged an Administrative Law Judge's determination that the Pasco County School Board validly exercised its delegated legislative authority in approving a change of school attendance boundaries for the 2017-2018 school year (the Attendance Boundary Rule). While this appeal was pending, the Parents also had pending in the trial court a related but separate lawsuit alleging that the School Board had violated Florida's Sunshine Laws during its deliberations on the Attendance Boundary Rule. The Parents prevailed in that lawsuit, and the trial court quashed the Attendance Boundary Rule. The trial court denied the School Board's subsequent motion for rehearing, and the School Board has not appealed.
The challenged rule having been quashed, this appeal is dismissed as moot.
Dismissed.
VILLANTI, SALARIO, and ROTHSTEIN-YOUAKIM, JJ., Concur.
It appears that the School Board has since conducted additional proceedings and, based on those, has approved a new change of school attendance boundaries.
