Monticello District Plans Welfare of Unified Schools
Voters hear benefits of a proposed reorganization with 16 buses and a spoke system to shorten routes. The plan ensures equal rural influence, uniform textbooks, and new junior high programs while aiming for a $13 million tax base and 1 300 students. The proposal, backed by the current board, seeks early building starts before costs rise.
