Supreme Court upholds one man one vote in regional boards
The U S Supreme Court refused to review Regional High School District No. 5 v Baker, backing the one man one vote standard for regional school boards. The decision underminesMt Anthony Union School Board’s reapportionment challenge, which argued unequal representation favored Bennington and underrepresented Woodford. The Mt Anthony board had sought to reapportion since 1974, contending a contractual agreement among districts allowed the current apportionment. The ruling follows a Second Circuit decision requiring reapportionment based on population, with Baker already on appeal to the Supreme Court.
