Description
Page 399 This appeal is from the trial courts affirmance in an administrative review action of an order of the Regional Board of School Trustees of Cook County (the Board) dismissing for lack of jurisdiction plaintiffs petition for detachment brought pursuant to section 7-6 of the School Code. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 122, par. 7-6.) Plaintiffs contend that (1) the order dismissing their petition is void; (2) the Boards prior ruling that it had jurisdiction was final and could not be reconsidered; (3) the Board improperly (a) ruled that requirements of the Election Code relating to the form of petitions and to the challenge of voter registrations (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 46, pars. 28-3, 4-12) apply to a petition filed pursuant to the School Code and (b) applied these new requirements retroactively; and (4) the Boards findings of fact are against the manifest weight of the evidence. Defendants cross-appeal from an earlier order of the trial court finding that the Boards initial denial of plaintiffs petition was against the manifest weight of the evidence. They contend that plaintiffs failed to sustain their burden of proving that the benefits of detachment clearly outweigh the detriments.
