Ridge View boards have tense standoff over school sharing

Tempers ran high during the Ridge View school board work session Sept. 12, with the Galva-Holstein and Schaller-Crestland district boards facing disagreements on how to proceed with their school sharing agreement.

Galva-Holstein has currently not approved the two districts’ sharing agreement. There is a proposal on the table that, beginning next year, G-H will move their seventh and eighth graders from Early to the Schaller building. They also discussed moving their sixth graders back to a Galva-Holstein building and hosting all high school sports at the Holstein facilities.
