New partnership would begin with fall sports

TWIN VALLEY – Faced with dwindling enrollment that threatens to wipe out some sports by attrition, the Norman County East School District will look to a partnership with neighboring Ulen-Hitterdal to bolster its ranks.

The school board voted 4-2 Monday night to approve a merger of the two districts’ athletic and extracurricular programs in grades 7 through 12, starting this fall.
 
The measure must still pass muster in UIen-Hitterdal, which mulled the issue at its own meeting Monday but decided to table it for further discussion amid widespread disagreement. The district will revisit the issue at a public meeting Feb. 1.
