Description
The City of Morristown claims the power, right and authority to operate and administer the new West High School and the renovated East High School for the education of high school students residing in the City of Morristown and in the County of Hamblen outside the city limits of Morristown. The county disputes this claim of the city and initiated this litigation to seek control, wholly or partially, of the high school system. The proper resolution of this dispute depends upon our construction of a contract entered into between the parties in 1965. The Chancellor decreed that the city and the county had equal joint control of the high school system and his decree was affirmed by a majority of the Court of Appeals, Judge Franks Dissenting. Both sides sought review in this Court of the judgments of the lower courts and review was granted.
