What happened

On December 4, 2025 the board unanimously approved a 2026-2028 athletic cooperative with the Sargent School District. After parents objected to busing athletes about 30 miles and sharing facilities, it unanimously passed a resolution on December 15 cancelling that approval.

Why it matters to families

The co-op would have combined teams with a neighboring district for two years. The board said it remains open to co-ops with any school sport by sport.

The evidence

The December 15, 2025 minutes record the nullifying resolution; the December 4 minutes record the approval.
