A series of open house events to guide the Guthrie Center and Adair-Casey communities into a whole-grade sharing agreement between the two school districts will begin tonight at Guthrie Center High School.

Superintendent Steve Smith tells Raccoon Valley Radio that the purpose of the open house events is to answer questions and ease any discomfort associated with the whole-grade sharing agreement. “We want everyone to get a good feel of where the children are going to be attending school and what it will look like and what it will feel like. We’ll answer questions about the school, advantages for children, why this scenario is better and address any concerns.”

Tonight’s event begins at 6:30 p.m. Smith will provide an update on whole-grade sharing agreement implementation today on Let’s Talk Guthrie County. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
