Senate panel backs plan to force all districts into high schools
Iowa Senate Education Committee approved a bill requiring all areas to join high school districts by April 1 1966. Democrats rejected a GOP bid to push the deadline to 1967 on a party line vote. Cass iddy urged no delay and warned that districts without high schools would be merged by July 1 1988 unless reorganizations proceed. Department of Public Instruction backs the measure and a prior 1962 deadline failed due to unpaid agricultural land tax credits.
