Cannon v. N.C. State Board of Education
Supreme Court of North Carolina
Cannon v. N.C. State Board of Education, 342 N.C. 399 (N.C. 1995)
464 S.E.2d 43; 1995 N.C. LEXIS 685
Cannon v. N.C. State Board of Education
Opinion of the Court
The decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed for the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion of Judge Wynn. As to plaintiffs’ contention that the method of electing the merged school board is racially discriminatory, we conclude that the issue is not properly before this Court. Plaintiffs never filed pleadings in this matter alleging racial discrimination and thus did not properly present the issue for determination by the trial court.
REVERSED.
