The Orient-Macksburg school district will dissolve after the 2025-26 school year. The vote wasn’t close, 203-18, with 10 of the no’s coming from Madison County. Most of the district’s land and students will become part of Nodaway Valley.
Orient-Macksburg’s speech club has posted a video of a performance of “The Last Letter Jacket,” which I wrote about last month on Substack.
The (vertical) video is at this Facebook link, at least for now.
A bill to synchronize Iowa Code on reorganizations and dissolutions, to make them all effective the July 1 of the subsequent calendar year, was passed by the Legislature but remains to be signed by the governor.
Apparently the governor was extremely busy last week, if you know what I mean.
