Nebraska Statutes 79-833. Error proceedings; jurisdiction of court
In error proceedings to reverse, vacate, or modify a final order by a school board made pursuant to sections 79-824 to 79-842, the school district, school board, or both may be named as defendants in error in the proceedings. The proceedings shall not be defeated and the court shall not be deprived of subject matter jurisdiction because the petitioner named the school board rather than the school district or the school district rather than the school board as the defendant in error.
