About 50 people attended a public forum May 16. Some expressed concern about a study by Midwest School Consultants that recommended that Morrisonville, Nokomis and Panhandle merge and send all their high school students to Nokomis.
were some concerns about what the feasibility study recommended in terms of placement of schools, Chandler said.
Some taxpayers were worried about having to continue to pay off bonds for construction at the juniorsenior high school and for installation of a geothermal heating system at the grade school if the facilities are no longer used by a newly formed district, she said.
Morrisonville residents have until June 4 to respond to the survey. The school board will discuss the results at its June 21 meeting and decide how to proceed.
The Nokomis and Panhandle districts will hold public forums next month.
Panhandle will hold its forum June 7. Nokomis hopes to have its forum scheduled by next week, School Superintendent Scott Doerr said.
looking forward to hearing officially what our public is thinking about the study, Doerr said.
After that, the Nokomis School Board will discuss whether it wants to move forward.
think there will be a decision in the next 30 to 60 days, he said.
Doerr, Chandler, Panhandle School Superintendent Connie Woods and one member from each school board plan to meet informally next week to continue discussing consolidation.
