A proposed consolidation of the AHST and Walnut school districts next year would result in … the AHSTW school district, the Council Bluffs Nonpareil reported last month.
The new district, which would erase one of the straighter boundaries out there today, would be a continuation of the recent whole-grade sharing agreement between the two old districts and span nearly 20 miles along I-80 in western Iowa.
The photo with the Nonpareil story says Walnut will still house an elementary school, but an Omaha World-Herald story from February indicated the building could be sold to the city.
(And yes, I am pleased with this development.)
