Building A New District
The Districts of Abingdon and Avon are officially one large district.

The Consolidation was passed in Tuesday's election along with the creation of a new school board.

The new School Board now has the daunting task of building a new district from the ground up.

Abingdon School District Superintendent David Black tells WGIL 21 days after the election the new school board will officially take office and they'll begin to make policy and decided who some of the major key players in the district will be.

"After the new school board is seated then they begin the business of setting levies, hiring Superintendents, hiring principals and just start deciding all of the things that need to be decided when a new district is formed."
