The CAM School Board met on Tuesday night at the Superintendent’s Office in Anita to discuss the facility committee’s recommendations to upgrade the district’s buildings. The Board voted 4-1 to accept the committee’s recommendation to upgrade facilities in Anita and Massena to house Pre K – 6th grade students at Massena and 7th-12th grade students at Anita.

A large crowd attended the meeting and shared concerns about the options that have been presented. The recommendation followed a recent straw poll last month that narrowed options to two choices; the one voted on and the other which was to realign elementary facilities at both Anita and Massena and all 7th-12th grade students at Anita.

School Board members Gary Dinkla, Julie Williamson, Nick Kaufman, and Mike Plagman voted for the recommendation. Chuck Kinzie was the lone nay vote.

CAM District patrons will vote on the plan on November 2nd and must receive 60-percent approval to pass.
