Method to join schools simple Moeller's view
County Superintendent H C Moeller outlines two routes to join two independent school districts into one. One treats the city as an unorganized district requiring a petition and a 16 day notice election, the other unites two districts with a petition by 10 electors in each district triggering an election. If approved, debts and taxes shift to the new district, with a fresh board elected for the city.
