In a close to a mini-saga I’ve covered before, voters in the HMS school district finally approved an elementary school attached to the existing high school in Hartley and new classrooms/gym in Sanborn (story/schematics: KIWA).
This was the FOURTH vote on the bond issue. HMS said it would close Hartley Elementary if it passed and, after the third failure, went ahead and announced a 2019 closure anyway, as more extensively covered in the N’West Iowa Review.
