The Battle Creek-Ida Grove and Odebolt-Arthur school districts will make a third attempt at consolidation, the Sioux City Journal reports. Odebolt-Arthur voters have resisted full reorganization out of fear the former O-A district would be outnumbered/outvoted on issues and the school in Odebolt closed. BCIG is about twice as large enrollment-wise.
The vote will be at the end of June, the latest possible that would allow legal consolidation in calendar 2018.
