The consolidation of several rural school dis- tricts into one unified dis- trict necessitated the for- mation of a nine-member board. They negotiated the purchases of new school buses and a a new heating system for the high school building. The school board also made a historical ruling in allowing girls to wear slacks to school. The stu- dent revised handbook was also approved by the school board. The school board listens attentively while school board president Robert Schilling explains the issues.
