Enlarge District Proposal Aims to Boost Rural Schools
The board argues enlarging the district will equalize educational opportunities by keeping fewer better equipped schools with trained teachers and expanded curricula including music art health and jobs training. It would also balance taxes and ensure individual attention while promising representation across the district. The measure goes to voters on August 23, 1949 with a six member board to govern if approved.
