I feel that we can accomplish this without affecting the grade schools and junior highs in the communities commented Bismarck-Henning Superintendent Mr. Randy Hird. The site committee had decided that the new school, if approved, would have been built within a one half mile radius of Henning. This would have put the school within easy traveling distance for the majority of students that attends. In the event the referendum would have passed, this would have been merely the beginning. If the communities had voted yes, the proposal would have gone to the state in hopes of getting six million dollars in funding to assist in building the school.
Some people still believe the schools are better off separate.
However, I think this program would have proved itself to be most efficient and very successful. This would have given the population the advantage to entering the next stage of their life, an advantage that they do not currently have at their home schools.
