Mills Prairie High School is getting ready to circulate petitions seeking annexation to the Rend Lake College District.

Mills Prairie, in northwestern White County, is one of two hinh school districts interested in joining Rend Lake; the other is Fairfield in Wayne County. Supt. Lcland Fish said his Mills Prairie board has not decided which of two methods it will use to effect annexation, but is leaning toward the procedure that would require a referendum. Twenty per cent of eligible voters in the district must sign petitions; this would be about 100 to 120 in Mills Prairie, Fish said. Approval of petitions would be sought from the state Junior College Board and the Board of Higher Education.

If these boards approve, the superintendent of schools in the largest county in the Rend Lake district Franklin would be asked to call an election on the annexation question. "We feel that Rend Lake is the best deal for us," Fish said "It will be the strongest junior college in the area and have an excellent tax base. We'll be located near the new Interstate Rt. which will be good for commuting to the college." Fairfield Supt. Wendell Ken- drick said petitions arc not out yet in his district.

He said the matter has been turned over to an attorney for study. Kendrick said it probably would require 500 signatures to call an election in the district. The other method of annexation requires no election, but only the signatures cf two-thirds of district voters and approval by state authorities.
