Re: School-Board Policy on Cheerleader Elections Dear Mr. Hickman:

Attorney General Allain has received your letter of request dated September 25, 1981, and has assigned it to me for research and reply. Because of the length of your inquiry, a copy of it is attached as if Incorporated herein.

Since the matter you present is after-the-fact in nature, an opinion of this office can neither Validate nor invalidate the past actions of the school board, as only a court of competent jurisdiction could resolve the issues.

Therefore, we respectfully decline to address the constitu- tionality of the present election Procedure for cheerleaders.

However, if this office can be of benefit in the future, Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

BILL ALLAIN ATTORNEY GENERAL
