The districts voted no individually, with counts: Clements 43 to 27, Saf fordville 90 to 45, Strong City 171 to 57, Cedar Point 80 to 64, Elmdale 101 to 81, Matfield Green 115 to 24. A majority was required from four districts to implement. The county, sparsely populated, would have been the only one in the state with a single community high school. Current enrollments ranged from 27 to 92 students. consolidation would have yielded 250 to 300 students.
