Consolidation Update
By: Import User
Updated: January 7, 2009
Forty-eight of the 57 school districts
ordered to consolidate with or annex into other districts have made
their decisions.
At least two of them -- Delaplaine and Huttig -- don`t plan to
submit voluntary agreements and will let the state choose a partner
for them.
The others remaining undecided are Carthage, Holly Grove, Lake
View, Sparkman, Swifton, Winslow, and Umpire.
All 57 districts have until next Thursday to submit their plans
to the state Education Department. The plans are to go into effect
July First.
