We knew this was going to happen. A year and a half after the North Winneshiek school district announced it didn’t have a long-term future, the reorganization petition to merge with Decorah has been approved for a Feb. 6 vote. (Second story: KWWL)

Decorah’s enrollment will grow by about 5 percent when it adds North Winn’s area. The new Decorah district will cover about 9 of 16 townships in Winneshiek County and take effect in 2019.
