Syllabus by the Court
A resolution by the State Board of Education, pursuant to R.C. 3313.90 and 3313.911, assigning a school district to membership in a joint vocational school district is quasi-judicial in nature and, consequently, subject to review, under R.C. 119.12, as an adjudication.
Ball & Skelly, William B. Ball, Philip J. Murren, Kathleen A. O'Malley, Harrisburg, Pa., Bendure & Kelbley and Michael P. Kelbley, Tiffin, for appellant and cross-appellee.
William J. Brown, Atty. Gen., and Gary Elson Brown, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee and cross-appellant.
The State Board of Education (appellee) informed appellant, New Riegel Local School District, of its assignment to membership in the Vanguard Joint Vocational School District pursuant to R.C. 3313.90. Appellant then requested a hearing under R.C. Chapter 119. Subsequent to the hearing, appellee passed a resolution assigning the New Riegel Local School District to membership in the Vanguard Joint Vocational School District. Appellant appealed to the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County pursuant to R.C. 119.12.
Appellee filed a motion to dismiss, which the court sustained. The decision reads as follows:
Appellant has perfected this appeal, including two arguments, which will be considered as assignments of error:
Appellee has responded with two cross-assignments of error as follows:
Appellant's assignments of error are interrelated and are considered together. The referee's report of the hearing, which is incorporated by reference in appellee's May 12, 1981 resolution, reads in part:
The referee found that appellant did not provide for its students a vocational educational program conforming to the requirements of R.C. 3313.90. Therefore, the referee recommended that appellee adopt a resolution assigning New Riegel to Vanguard pursuant to the September 8 resolution.
The main issue is whether there may be an appeal to the court of common pleas under R.C. 119.12 from the resolution of appellee assigning a school district to membership in a joint vocational school district. R.C. 119.12 provides for appeals, as follows:
"Any party adversely affected by any order of an agency issued pursuant to an adjudication denying an applicant admission to an examination, or denying the issuance or renewal of a license, registration of a licensee, or revoking or suspending a license, * * * " * * * [or] any order of an agency issued pursuant to any other adjudication * * *."
Jurisdiction for appeal is established by Section 4(B), Article IV, Ohio Constitution, which states: "The courts of common pleas * * * shall have * * * such powers of review of proceedings of administrative officers and agencies as may be provided by law." This language evolved from former Section 2, Article IV, Ohio Constitution, which conferred upon the Supreme Court "such revisory jurisdiction of the proceedings of administrative officers as may be conferred by law."
The Supreme Court in State, ex rel. Bd. of Edn. v. State Bd. of Edn. (1978), 53 Ohio St.2d 173, 176-177, 373 N.E.2d 1238 , wrote:
