State Aid
Study Task Force pushes forward
The State Aid Study Task Force has met twice during 2006. At its
June meeting, small school factor was one major topic of
discussion. The Department of Education invited a panel of
small-school superintendents to share their unique perspectives
with task force members. The superintendents represented the
Chester, Hamlin, Hurley, Irene/Wakonda and Tea school districts.
Four superintendents and three business managers serve on the
task force, which was initiated during the 2005 legislative
session. The group’s final two meetings are slated for Sept. 6-7
and Nov. 15-16. A final report is due Dec. 1, 2006. To view
