the board of each district which is a party to the accounting. If the board
of any district desires to contest any appraisal it shall file a statement
of its objections with the regional superintendent within 20 days
after the receipt of a copy of such appraisal. The regional superintendent
shall then fix a date for a hearing on such objections and give notice thereof
to each district which is a party to the accounting. Each
such district may offer evidence at the hearing and the appraisal shall
be considered by the regional superintendent as evidence of the
value of the property appraised. The regional superintendent shall
then consider the evidence and enter an order determining the value of the
property in question. Such order shall be deemed an "administrative decision"
as defined in the "Administrative Review Law" and any board which is a party
to the accounting may apply for a review of such decision in accordance
with the "Administrative Review Law" and all amendments and modifications
thereof and the rules adopted pursuant thereto.
