Questions that must be asked, just not to the State Board of Education…
All other issues raised, including the ownership of the “famous flugelhorn,” are deemed irrelevant to the question of the legality of the whole-grade sharing agreement and accordingly no further discussion or resolution.
That’s in the second-to-last paragraph of the state dismissal of an appeal from parents in the United school district (the one between Boone and Ames with a 55 mph “school zone” on US 30) in 1992.
I know that United entered into a whole-grade sharing agreement with both Boone and Ames in 2010, but I didn’t realize the high school had closed before that. Now, the 1992 decision references Boone sending its sixth-graders to United and an option to enroll in Gilbert, but I don’t know if that was carried out, and if so, for how long. (Help always accepted, especially in this case where “United” and “Boone” aren’t the most unique search terms.)
