JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Former Code of School Laws, Ga. L. 1919, pp. 288-363, repealed all prior legislation concerning or affecting the common schools of Georgia which was in conflict with it. David v. Board of Educ., 179 Ga. 498, 176 S. E. 481, 1934 Ga. LEXIS 317 (1934).

Opinion Notes

There are many general and special provisions found in this title (O. C. G. A. § 20-1-1 et seq.) with regard to the powers and authority of the State Board of Education; there is no provision which authorizes the board to lend money to any other board or agency. It would be presumed that the General Assembly, under the present law, did not intend for the board to have such authority. 1957 Ga. Op. Att'y Gen. 122.
