Building problems at McLeod West recently forced some of the classes to move to nearby G-F-W.After a vote to save the school in November failed, the need for a new place to learn became permanent.As News 12's Erick Lind tells us, four school districts are deciding that question today.You don't normally see the voting booths set up at McLeod West in May.With only 20 days left before the school closes for good, officials are making an exception... as voters living in the district decide the future of students.McLeod West School District Superintendent Tony Boyer says, "That's what the vote is all about, to put these students in a place where they are wanted. Where the other three school districts said, 'Welcome. We want you here next year.'"Those three schools are Glencoe-Silver Lake, Buffalo Lake-Hector, and Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop.Superintendent Boyer sees no reason why people would want to vote against consolidation, because the influx of students into neighboring schools would generate around one million dollars over the next two years.If just one of the four districts rejects the consolidation, county commissioners would be forced to redraw the district lines.That could lead to residents in Brownton paying Hutchinson taxes if students were sent there.Brownton resident Kim Riebar says, "We would be part of their tax base. I guess that would be an unknown again, because we've been in a lot of situations this year of a lot of unknowns and I think that is what's hardest on the public and kids."While the vote is an important one for the taxpayers in the school district, it's an even more important one for the students that occupy these lockers.Especially after the year they've endured.McLeod West 2009 class valedictorian Kaycie Lindeman says, "It's definitely hard for the students right now knowing that a lot of them are going to different schools, they're not going to the same. Hopefully their friendships remain the same, but I know they're worried about it."As long as voters followed directions, and a recount isn't needed, students could know by tonight which direction the bus will take them next fall.In Brownton, Erick Lind, News 12.
