ROCK FALLS – A voluntary dissolution would be East Coloma and Nelson school districts’ easiest and least expensive way to reorganize, because no referendum would be needed, a consultant said Thursday.

Still, Bob Rogers is recommending consolidation, because that option would give the Nelson board more input into the formation of the new district, he told both boards at a joint meeting Thursday.

With about 30 students, Nelson is the smallest district in the state. Both boards agreed to hire Rogers to study the feasibility of a merger; Thursday he presented his findings.
