Opinion No. 36-1389

June 19, 1936

BY: FRANK H. PATTON, Attorney General

TO: Mr. H. R. Rodgers, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

{*125} We have your letter of June 18th asking an opinion from this office as to whether or not it is permissible under the law for a member of the municipal school board to have a truck route for his school.

We are of the opinion that this is not permissible. Section 120-1415 of the 1929 Code prohibits any school official from making contracts in connection with the operation or maintenance of such public schools and we feel that a school truck route transporting children to and from the school in question could not be operated by a member of the school board under the provisions of this section of the law.

By J. R. MODRALL,

Asst. Atty. General
