HOLT, Chief Justice.

This case presents the question: When a proper petition is filed under Act 445 of 1983, as amended, codified at Ark.Stat.Ann. §§ 80-4601—80-4612 (Supp.1985), with a county board of education for annexation of school districts, must the Board annex districts that are contiguous? The answer is "yes", and we affirm the holdings of the lower court. Our jurisdiction is pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(1)(c).
