USD 115 request to re-enter into land transfer negotiations

(KMZA)--Nemaha Central USD 115 is requesting to re-enter into negotiations with Prairie Hills USD 113 for the transfer of land in the Bern area.

The USD 113 Board of Education Monday evening discussed a July 19th letter received from the USD 115 Board of Education submitting a revised map to re-enter into negotiations with the district.

The letter from USD 115 Board president Amy Sudbeck says the map is based on “where the out-of-district students live” and “ landowner preferences.” The letter says all the evidence to support the map has previously been presented to the USD 113 board.

While the Kansas State Board of Education voted in June to deny USD 115's petition for the transfer of about 81 square miles of land from USD 113 to USD 115, they encouraged the two districts to try to resolve the issue at a local level.

USD 113 Superintendent Todd Evans said his board agreed Monday to send a written response to USD 115.

Evans said the USD 115 letter and map has been posted on the district's website, and the USD 113 response will eventually be posted as well. It can be found here
