OAG 77-494 is cited in the decision to provide a precedent regarding the alteration of school board minutes. It establishes that the minutes of a school board meeting constitute the only legal evidence of the board's actions and that they cannot be amended based on oral testimony or affidavits unless there is a record evidence that the particular proceeding in fact took place. This citation is used to support the conclusion that the 1965 school board minutes cannot be amended to reflect a leave of absence that was not originally recorded in the minutes.
OAG 77-494 was Followed by OAG 78-346
