(Anita, Iowa) – Members of the CAM School Board met during a work session Monday evening, in Anita. No action was taken, but the Board did discuss matters pertaining to enrollment and the possible consolidation of grades. Shared CAM/Nodaway Valley School District Superintendent Paul Croghan explained the Board talked about General Fund expenditure savings.

Croghan says they knew after the enrollment count on October that they would be down 27 students, so they began to look at class sizes, including Kindergarten.

The Board talked about other scenarios and things they could do and the process in steps and reductions to align the budget with student enrollment.

Croghan said “We have three buildings and when you have 15 students, that’s [grade consolidation discussions] are all part of the process.”
