AHST/Walnut:

By a vote of 614-74, or 88.8 percent, residents of Avoca, Hancock, Shelby, Tennant and Walnut voted to approve the reorganization of the districts into AHSTW. It was a resolution in support of the solution to Walnut’s declining enrollment, avoiding putting the district in the position of spending more than allowed by Iowa law and completing a process that officially began last October. 94 percent of AHST voters and 77 percent of Walnut voters were in support of reorganization.

An AHSTW school board will be created from the two existing boards’ members, with five members from AHST and two from Walnut when the merger becomes official July 1. The new board will create five director districts, providing representation from all corners of AHSTW, with two additional members elected at-large.

In a separate vote Tuesday, a revenue purpose statement was approved 612-85. It avoids the need for a special election to combine the two district’s finances as a result of the reorganization.
