Scammon Scammon Mayor Bill Forrest appealed to the

Scammon into
the school district, which is based in Cherokee. “Our obvious goal is
to keep our

redistricting
at least would allow
transport
pupils to schools in Cherokee.
Superintendent Burns
then explained the state procedure
parents must follow to
transfer their
children from USD 493 to USD 247.
The board
discussed and advised that they would welcome and accept Scammon
students at
the Weir Attendance center. All current Scammon students and or
their siblings
that are attending Cherokee attendance center would be grandfathered
in and could
still attend Cherokee.

and all the teachers for this great
achievement!

for the mural so as no cost to the district.
