Petitions calling for an election to reorganize the Moravia area into the Moravia Community School District have been submitted. Officials expect the petitions to be presented to the Appanoosa County Board of Education soon as support for redistricting appears to rise.
The Moravia area considers forming a 12 grade district to absorb surrounding rural schools and bus routes. Hearings will set time and place after petitions reach the county board of education, with an election scheduled by the county organization. The plan promises modern buses and broader curricula, while reducing state aid and tax burdens for property owners.
