Wyaconda School Annexation Proposal On April Ballot

By Mike Scott

A group of Wyaconda citizens has placed an annexation proposal on the ballot by petition.  On April 8, Wyaconda voters will be asked: “Shall the Wyaconda C-1 District be annexed to the Gorin R-III School District effective 1st Day of July 2008.
The move is in response to the possible closure of the district by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.  The state board should make its decision about the future of the district at its March meeting.
One Luray School ballot measure was left out of last week’s report.  Amber Cordray Moeller and Beverly Yates are seeking to be elected to fill an unexpired two-year term.
