The Oblong CUSD #4 Board of Education is currently considering this invitation and requests feedback from our stakeholders.

Enrollment Sheet • The enrollments used are from ihsa.org for the 2011-2012 season. • The purpose of this sheet is to evaluate enrollments compared to the Oblong High School enrollment of 177. This illustrates potential competitiveness. Feedback Survey • Please return the feedback survey to the Oblong High School or Oblong Grade School Office by Friday, May 4th. • Please include questions, concerns, support, or opposition in this survey. Your feedback is strongly encouraged and appreciated. The information will be compiled and shared with Oblong CUSD #4 Board Members. The Board of Education and Administration will do our best to discuss questions or concerns at the Conference Affiliation Feedback Meeting. We request your feedback to make the best possible decision for our students, school, and stakeholders. No decision will be made at the feedback meeting. A decision is requested by the LOVC no later than June 1, 2012. The acceptance of new members is also dependent on all other invited schools accepting the invitation. Thanks for your consideration.
