Three previous attempts to reorganize Dearborn County schools under a 1959 law have failed. Voters first rejected a one-unit plan and the state later rejected a three-unit and a single-unit plan.

Prospects for approval of the present plan appear excellent as major opponents of previous plans approve this one. UNDER THE plan, Lawrenceburg Township will be one unit. The south unit will include the city of Aurora and Center, Clay, Caesar Creek, Hogan, Manchester, Sparta and Washington Townships. The Sunman-Dearborn unit will include part of Adams Township and Sunman consolidated schools in Ripley County, plus Kelso, Logan, Harrison, Miller and Harrison Townships of Dearborn County. The Lawrenceburg unit will be governed by a five-member board, while the other two uints will each have a seven-member board.

Appointments cannot be made more than 30 days prior to the effectiveness of reorganization nor more than five days after reorganization. The law provides for the judge to fill any positions not filled by proper officials. The county committee hopes to have reorganization effective by January 1, 1968, and no later than July 1, 1968.

Reorganization may go into effect on one of the two dates. Board members' terms always expire June 30 and the lengths of initial appointment will depend on the effective date of reorganization. Dearborn County is one of nine counties that have not had a reorganization plan approved. The state commission must hold a public hearing in the county within 90 days after it receives the plan. It has another 60 days to make its final decision.

If it approves the plan, it then informs the judge to set up procedures for an election. Residents vote only on their unit and one or all may be approved or disapproved. Voters also may petition to have their unit made fective. The county committee said earlier this month, it believes it has enough money left in its present budget to finance a special election if desired.

It is important above all he said to have a department that is responsive to needs.
