Valley Directors Seek State Help on School Policy
Valley Directors ask a State Department of Education consultant to advise on reducing costs next year amid rising per pupil expenses and potential changes in school laws. The board met after discussions with Supt. Joel Wedergren and held area meetings to gauge patron reaction to three options: close an elementary center, consolidate at the high school with mobiles, or build a new Hastings elementary with bond funding. Enrollment has fallen from 690 in 1961 to 490 now, increasing per pupil costs and complicating cost-cutting while preserving education quality.
