Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1887

White v. School District

White v. School District
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided March 7, 1887
5 Sadler 323; 8 A. 443; 1887 Pa. LEXIS 579

White v. School District

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

There was no error in the court holding the “Miller board” to be the duly elected and qualified board of directors. It was acting as such and performing the duties of the office. Any other de facto board could not bind the school district. It fol*330lows that the plaintiff cannot compel the district to fulfil a contract made with the pretended board. When the plaintiff made a contract with it, he ran the risk of its being declared to be invalid.

Judgment affirmed.
