TO THE VOTERS OF THE DISTRICT:
|
On May 5, 1958, the voters went to the polls and decided to form a new school district, the South Winneshiek Com- munity School District. A new board of directors was elected on May 29th, and the school district is now operating as of July 1, 1958. During the organization and planning stage of this new district, it was stated that existing schoolhouse facilities would be used in so far as they were adaptable to the edu cational program, and that some remodeling of present facilities would be necessary. At that time, it was also stated, that some new construction would be necessary. Therefore, after extensive studies and consultations with architects, education experts from the State Department of Public Instruction, finance consultants, the State Fire Marshal’s Office and others, your Board is submitting a building proposal for your consideration. We believe it an |
economically sound program, adequately meeting the District’s requirements at a minimum cost to the taxpayers. By any comparison we have one of the best reorganized school districts in the State, and one that is far more economical than any school district around us. Now in order to keep this district and operate an approved school we must comply with school standards as established by the State of Iowa. This building program will adequately provide for schoolhouse facilities and will make possible an educational program that will meet state standards. We strongly recommend that you support the Board’s building program. Study this pamphlet and give this matter serious consideration. The Board can proceed further only with your approval, and strongly urges you to cast a “Yes” ballot on July 3, 1959. |
