We are exceptionally proud of our school district and the outstanding progress and achievements our students and staff continue to make every day. Together, we demonstrate time and again the huge impact a small district can have.

We remain fully committed to doing what is best for all students, working toward maintaining our district, and preventing the merger. Please review this letter regarding the State Board of Education’s timeline for the proposed merger.
