The summary stated:

"Section 34.007 of the Education Code does not authorize the Jonesboro Independent School District to operate a public school transportation system outside of its boundaries and within the boundaries of the Gatesville Independent School District to regularly transport students to and from school without an interlocal cooperation contract under Government Code chapter 791."
