The opinion
Concurring Opinion by
Judge Mencer:
I concur in the opinion of the majority but I do not believe a school district has any standing to challenge the constitutionality of an act of the Legislature. My concept of the powers of a school district is that it has only those expressly conferred upon it by the Legislature or that may be implied from the nature of its duties. *423 Wilson v. Philadelphia School District, 328 Pa. 225 , 195 A. 90 (1937); Slippery Rock Area Joint School System v. Franklin Township School District, 389 Pa. 435 , 133 A. 2d 848 (1957). Surely the Legislature has not conferred on school districts the responsibility of legally testing whether the Legislature acts constitutionally.
