Ewing unanimously voted to withdraw from talks on a potential merger with Neligh-Oakdale and Clearwater on Wednesday night.
Pete Funk made the motion during the three-school board meeting at Neligh-Oakdale. Mark Ramold seconded the motion. It passed 6-0. Neligh-Oakdale hosted the 7 p.m. three-board meeting, which began with a presentation on curriculum. At about 8:40 p.m. the motion was made and passed. The Ewing board then left the table. The meeting adjourned at 8:53 p.m. Following the vote, Neligh-Oakdale Board President David Wright pleaded to continue talks with Clearwater. Amy Thiele, president of the Clearwater board, said her district was open to discussion; however, she said it is not willing to be absorbed by any other district. Several Neligh-Oakdale members on Monday suggested Neligh-Oakdale absorb Clearwater and no longer talk with Ewing.
