ORR School District Voting on Dissolution Plan

November 10, 2026

RUTLAND, S.D.–Voters in the Oldham-Ramona-Rutland School District will decide today whether to keep the district open or move forward with dissolution.

Superintendent Dan Baldwin said voters are considering the same reorganization plan as last year. If approved, the district would close June 30, 2027, and students would attend one of nine surrounding school districts based on where they live.

Baldwin said a vote in favor of the plan means closing the school, which can be confusing to voters.

The school district covers 317 square miles, but has only 82 students, and has been facing declining enrollment.
