The continuing cohabitational saga of the Farragut and Hamburg school districts had a partial resolution last week, as the Hamburg school board agreed to Farragut’s proposal of having the junior high in Farragut and keeping kindergarten through sixth grades in Hamburg. (The former high school building in Hamburg closes no matter what.) Interestingly, that special-session vote was 2-1 in a five-member board, qualifying for a quorum but not a majority approval. Compare the KMA story from earlier in the week when the decision was still up in the air.
As both stories note, an agreement on who goes where does not guarantee a future existence of the Nishnabotna school district. Both still have visits from the state School Budget Review Committee ahead.
