Board studies options for reassigning Horace Mann students

Huntington County Tab:

The Huntington County Community School Corporation redistricting committee is looking at three different options for reassigning former Horace Mann students to Andrews, Lancaster and Lincoln schools, Superintendent Tracey Shafer informed the school board on Monday, May 23.

The committee consists of Shafer, board members Rex Baxter (District 7) and Ben Landrum (District 3), Horace Mann Building Principal Amy Rudolf, Transportation Director Doug Waldfogel and six parents from Horace Mann, Andrews, Lancaster, Lincoln and Salamonie schools.

The first option, Shafer said, is to redraw the district boundary lines and absorb the Horace Mann district into the Andrews, Lancaster and Lincoln districts. Boundaries would be redrawn according to how many student vacancies are projected at each school.
