The future of a central Kansas school district is now in the hands of the voters. It was earlier this year that the Central Plains School District decided to close the Wilson 7-12 grade school due to a lack of funding. Now some voters in the district say the best step forward is to disband the district entirely. Enough petition signatures were gathered to put the disorganization of USD 112 up for a vote during the August 1st primary election. Superintendent Bill Lowry says if it passes, state law says other surrounding districts would take the land of the district if voters decide to disorganize. “We have about 10 school districts that border us,” Lowry said. “So, there would be about 10 school districts eligible to be assigned by the board of education.”
