Counties Rally Behind New Indiana School Reorganization Act
The 1959 Act will consolidate about 300 of Indiana’s 1,000 school systems, merging weak with strong districts while sparking debate over cost and political implications. Lagrange County leads with a one unit plan and a 1.5 million dollar high school to be built. other counties such as Owen, Greene, Harrison, Dearborn, Parke, Grant, Dubois, Jackson, Brown, Floyd, and Clark are preparing plans. The law shifts control away from township trustees toward county committees, with Rush County beginning advisory elections to form a larger county-wide framework.
