Teams Dropping down to 8 man

Obviously, the sharing agreement ends with the dissolution of Farragut. The Iowa Board of Education will divvy up the district among their neighbors (Hamburg, Fremont-Mills, Shenadoah & Sidney). Hamburg would likely have a BEDS under 50 and have a recent budget history similar to Farragut. Being landlocked in the corner, they need to start talks with Sidney on sharing.

Hamburg plans on running a K-8 school. And then pay tuition for their students to enroll in surrounding school system of their choice for high school. They will transport students to where ever they pick. So you could see them attending Sidney, Fremont-Mills, Shenandoah, Essex, and maybe even South Page. So their students could be spread out after junior high. Or they might be more concentrated in closer districts. Presently there are several students that attend Nebraska City Lourdes. It is a Catholic school in Nebraska City, NE. Presently the State is deciding what districts will take in Farragut district. Who ever gets them gets their money problems. And will be responsible for any short fall left over from their budget problems.

What does size of the team matter? Lets say schools beds are 90 9-11 that means lets just say 45 boys. If they get 35 boys out whats that matter. A lot of these smalls schools kids go out just to be apart of the team and something big in the community. So of those 35 maybe 5-10 will never see the field in their careers I'd be willing to bet. So why punish a school for getting participation?

I totally agree with this. It comes with success!
