Unconstitutional Hazlehurst school board ruling declared void
The Supreme Court finds the 1888 act creating the Hazlehurst and Brookhaven boards unconstitutional. It bars long term self perpetuating trustees, taxation by boards, and non uniform control of public schools, upholding the state uniform system requirement and affirming the lower judgments. The decision hinges on local self government and uniform administration of the public school system.
