(KMZA)--The Prairie Hills USD 113 and Jackson Heights USD 335 Boards of Education held a special joint meeting Wednesday evening at the Sabetha Middle School.
USD 113 Superintendent Todd Evans said the purpose of the meeting was to discuss a potential land transfer from the southern portion of USD 113 and follows the decision to close the Wetmore Attendance Center at the end of the current school year.
Evans said the USD 113 board indicated a willingness to establish a north-south boundary line of 56th Road in Nemaha County, while the USD 335 board countered with a proposal to obtain the area to 112th Road.
The roads are seven miles apart and include over 60 miles of area.
USD 335 Board President David Allen said the suggestion of 112th Road as a potential boundary line comes following discussions with Wetmore patrons and was told has a historical background.
Evans said he thinks the two sides are along ways apart from each other. However, USD 113 board member Jim Scoby said he thinks there's room for some compromise and would like to be able to meet in the middle.
Evans said some parents in the Wetmore-Goff area have also indicated they are interested in some of the USD 13 property going to Vermillion USD 380.
An additional meeting hasn't been scheduled.
