Consolidationissues to be aired at forum

The Hill County superintendent of schools will hold a public forum to explain how an interim board would be set up if the Blue Sky and Kremlin-Gildford school districts consolidate.

Superintendent Shirley Isbell said she won't announce at the June 2 forum who she will appoint to the board.

"It will be to tell everybody what the process will be," she said.

The school boards of both districts have set elections for June 22 on the issue of consolidation. If voters in both districts approve it, Isbell will appoint an interim board to oversee the consolidation process.
