The eastern quarter of Fremont County, including the towns of Farragut and Imogene, will become part of the Shenandoah school district next year. The Iowa Department of Education released its plans for the Farragut district, which will be forcibly dissolved at the end of this school year. Articles: Council Bluffs Nonpareil, KMA.
County Road M16 is the dividing line. All of the Farragut district east of it goes to Shenandoah. West of that highway, district land will go to Fremont-Mills (a strip a mile wide), Sidney, and Hamburg. The line separating the latter two east of Riverton is a mile south of J46, meaning all of Riverton goes to Sidney.
The Farragut district was wholly within Fremont County, and Shenandoah edged into the county already. Shenandoah will also be responsible for the Farragut school building.
The dissolution lines imposed by the state are straight and clean, a far cry from what happened to Clearfield when local landowners and the district being dissolved were allowed to create a crazy-quilt map.
