Every school board shall make assignment and distribution of all students with school residence within the district. The board shall take into consideration in assigning and distributing students its duty to provide an education within the guidelines of the State Board of Education's accreditation rules, the wishes of the parents or guardians of the child being assigned and the district patrons, the miles and time involved in transporting the child to school, and the educational and financial impact on the district. Any patron who is aggrieved by a decision of the school board may request a hearing within thirty days before the secretary of the Department of Education or his representative. If the Department of Education has not rendered a decision within thirty days following final submission of the appeal, the board's decision is affirmed.
