Court Sets Boundaries of Lone Tree District
JOWA CITY AP Judge Clair Hamilton of Johnson County District Court ruled the Town Board of Public Instruction exceeded its authority in altering Lone Tree Community School District boundaries. The court ordered the district lines to stay as fixed by the joint education boards of Johnson, Louisa and Muscatine counties, preserving about two-thirds of the Nichols Independent School District in Lone Tree. The state board had altered the reorganization to about one-fifth of Nichols, based largely on an area survey not presented at a public hearing. Lone Tree appealed the action. the town lies in southeastern Johnson County while Nichols is in northwestern Muscatine County. The 11-section land area designated by the state board was set for voting on joining Lone Tree, whose original petition sought about three-fourths of Nichols including the school building.
