        "text": "Guy Amsler, Justice.\nThis case involves a dispute over some 600 to 700 acres of land that each district involved desires to have within its boundaries. The acreage had a taxable value of approximately $52,000.00 and 8 pupils were residing thereon in 1965.\nIn January of 1965 the directors of Bergman School District (called Bergman herein) petitioned [Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 80-412 (Repl. I960)] the Boone County Board of Education (hereinafter called County Board) for \u00e1 boundary line change.\nDirectors of the Harrison School District (called Harrison) refused to agree and the County Board acting pursuant to authority given it under Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 80-412, supra, fixed the boundary line so that the disputed area was transferred to Bergman.\nHarrison appealed to the Circuit Court of Boone County and that court reversed the County Board\u2014 basing its conclusion on our decision in School District No. 10 v. County Board of Education, 185 Ark. 328, 47 S. W. 2d 606. Bergman and County Board have appealed.\nThe only point relied on by appellants for reversal is:\n\u201c That the lower court erred in holding that the area of land involved in the Board of Education\u2019s modification of boundary lines was substantial.\u201d\nThe learned trial judge determined that the change in boundary line was of a substantial nature and that therefore the action of County Board was void. In School District No. 10 v. County Board of Education, supra, we said:\n\u201cNo notice was given of the proposed change of the boundaries amounting to annexation of territory, in accordance with said \u00a7 44, [Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 80-404 (Repl. I960)] nor any petitions presented or election held for that purpose, and the county board was without jurisdiction or authority to make the order changing the boundary lines, in effect taking a very substantial part of the territory of one district and annexing it to the other under the guise and procedure as for a change of boundary lines only.\u201d\nSince the General Assembly has not, subsequent to the above decision, provided the courts a yard stick for determining what constitutes boundary changes of a \u201csubstantial nature\u201d we are not disposed to override the trial court\u2019s conclusion.\nAffirmed.",
