(KLZA)-- A 10-year sports cooperative will come to an end at the completion of the 2023-24 school year.

The Mound City Board of Education has voted to end the Missouri State High School Activities Association cooperative between Mound City and Craig at the end of the current school year.

The co-op started during the 2014-15 school year.

The past several years the number of students from the Craig School participating in athletics as part of the co-op has declined significantly.
