History
In 1972 the school district leadership stated that it was about to run out of the $230,000 annual budget and that the district's finances were in jeopardy, although the district leadership did not plan to close any schools.[3]
In 1974 the district sold Farmers Home Administration bonds so its operating expenses could be reduced. It sold $1,100,000 worth of such bonds.[4]
In 1984 its student body count was 154, and it had 12 faculty working full time as teachers. That year the district leadership attempted to convince voters to pass a "district override" as the state funding rules made it more difficult to operate its schools at the optimum level. The vote succeeded at 109-37. The override was worth $119,000.[5]
