A planned merger of two Kiowa County school districts failed to become reality due to lack of a motion from the Haviland Board of Education members last Monday.
The Haviland Grade School had a board meeting on February 8 to vote on the transfer of territory that had been outlined in a letter sent home to parents, a letter on Facebook, and discussed at board meetings. Haviland residents attended the meeting to express their concerns over the decision. After discussion, there was no motion made so it did not go through.
A few families in the community led this discussion, making flyers and going door to door to get people involved. One of these community members was Jeremie Frazier.
