co-ops

There's been some chatter on Osts Posts and NDpreps on the pending petition for Edgeley and Kulm to begin a co-op for basketball in the fall/winter of 2008.

I say it's inevitable and fighting it can only hurt the kids in the end. Really, if you want to look at Wishek and Ashely or any of other co-0ps that 10 years ago seemed ludicrious you don't have to look far.

The demographics of North Dakota will continue to change and schools in rural areas will close. Few such as Berthold Our Redeemers will be new rural schools opening. But you never know.

My point, is that Edgeley and Kulm maybe okay for a couple years...but this co-op was inevitable. To delay it and wait until schools are forced isnt fair to the kids.
