It’s been 24 years since the last consolidation vote in the Exeter-Milligan
school district and Monday evening in Milligan the school board took another
historic vote.
In a 15 minute meeting, just minutes after the Friend school
board approved the consolidation 6-0 the Exeter-Milligan board gave it’s stamp
of approval.
Nearly 30 individuals attended the meeting but no one chose
to comment on the vote or anything else.
The board opened with the consensus agenda before Superintendent
Paul Sheffield gave a brief review of the petition to consolidate that would be
submitted to the state committee.
There were no discussion items so the board moved right into
action items. Board president Adam
Erdkamp read the motion and asked if board members had any comments. When no one spoke up Erdkamp did, “I
appreciate all the work the board has done.
It’s been a long process.”
The board voted 6-0 for the petition to consolidate.
The board tabled the agreement on the Milligan site purchase
and the contract with DLR for the elementary remodel citing a need for the
building and grounds committee to meet.
The board approved non-certified contracts, and a contract
for a fifth grade teacher, Jarod Belden, a York University student who will
graduate this spring.
The board set the next meeting for May 15.
