upon the appellant to show that the decision complained
of is either against the public interest, or that the
State Board of Education's discretion in rendering its
decision was not honestly and fairly exercised or was
arbitrary or unsupported by any substantial evidence, or
was unreasonable or beyond the powers of the Board or
illegal. The appeal shall be heard by the court without
a jury or with a jury if either party so requests. The
State Board of Education may be a party to the appeal.
If the court affirms the action of the State Board of

to the Court of Appeals from any decision of the court on
the question of denial or revocation of a certificate.
