New District Proposal For Beaverhead County Schools
County supervisors push legislation to redraw districts into two large regions centered in Lima and Dillon. The plan would dissolves the Beaverhead county high school, create a district high school system, and merge many districts under Lima and Dillon administration. Potential benefits include simpler administration, but concerns focus on bus logistics, housing, and maintaining access to schools for isolated communities.
