Description
This is an appeal from a judgment of the circuit court of Cumberland County in a suit involving a complaint in quo warrantor
filed by the plaintiffs-appellants, ordering, adjudging and decreeing that the defendants do have judgment that their respective
offices as members of the Board of Education of Community Unit District No. 77 of the counties of Cumberland and Coles in
the State of Illinois are legally held by them and that said Community Unit District No. 77 is legally organized in all respects. The facts are contained in the pleadings and in a stipulation entered into by the parties herein. It appears that a petition
for leave to file a complaint for quo warrantor was filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of Cumberland County
on November 19, 1948, by the plaintiffs, Roan and Button, together with one Ozier and one Drake. An amended petition was then
filed by the plaintiffs herein, Roan and Button, in the office of the clerk on December 7, 1948. The amended petition alleges
that the plaintiffs are citizens within the purported boundaries of Community Unit School District No. 77 of the counties
of Cumberland and Coles, and petitioned the court for leave to file a complaint in quo warrantor on behalf of the People on
their relation pursuant to the statute in such case made and provided. The petition alleges that both the Attorney General
and State's Attorney, although requested, had refused to file the complaint. The petition then proceeds to set forth that,
in pursuance of the provisions of sections 8-9 through and including 8-14 of the School Code, certain territory was organized
into Cumberland Community Unit School District No. 1 on April 17, 1948. A board of education for such district was elected
May 15, 1948.
