Latest poll results

The results are in for the two latest poll questions.
In response to the question asking "What is the county's biggest school rivalry in sports," the in-district Linn-Hanover rivalry was considered the biggest taking 45 of the 72 total votes (or 62%). In a distant second was the Washington County-Hanover rivalry with 12 votes and the Washington County-Linn rivalry at 8 votes. I assume the Linn-Hanover rivalry is now the biggest because they both play 8-man football and then obviously meet up in basketball. Of course they also share a district which is always a way to start a rivalry.

In response to the question "What should the future hold for the USD 223 district," there was a more even split of opinion. The majority, 32%, voted to split the district and let the schools do as they wish. This took in 21 of the 64 votes cast. In a close second were 18 votes for leaving the district as it is and in third were 16 votes to consolidate now and merge high schools later as needed. Since anyone can vote in these polls, this probably is not the best gauge of the topic since folks who have no connection to the two schools could place a vote.

Another poll will be posted soon.
