Horatio-Foreman
By a unanimous vote, the board rejected a request by the Foreman district to annex a section of the Horatio district. Board members were concerned that the request was unprecedented and could lead to similar “land grabs” by other districts. Foreman said about 70 students in the area at question are zoned for Horatio by choose to attend school in Foreman which is closer to their area. Horatio officials said the loss of property taxes to Foreman, which would have resulted from the Foreman request, would have hindered Horatio’s ability to pay bonds.
