Sidney/Farragut/Hamburg Whole Grade Sharing Study

In November 2008 the Sidney, Farragut, and Hamburg boards meant to discuss possible whole grade sharing opportunities. From that meeting the boards agreed to hire an external consultant to do a facilities feasibility study, and instructed the secondary principals of the three districts to study curricular and extra-curricular offerings in high schools of 250 - 350 students.

Ed Gambs was hired by the districts to do the facilities study. Mr. Gambs is a retired superintendent who served the Logan-Magnolia and Tri-Center districts. On February 9 Mr. Gambs will be visiting with each board separately. Mr. Gambs will be visiting with the Sidney Board at 4:30 p.m. at the board room, located at 2754 Knox Road. The meeting is open to the public.

The secondary principals are compiling information from area high schools such as Shenandoah, Underwood, Tri-Center, Clarinda, and Griswold. The facilities and high school program studies will be presented to the three boards at a joint meeting to be held sometime in March.
