The Joppa-Massac Annexation Issue will appear on the ballot in Massac County on April 4.
When Massac County Unit #1 School Superintendent Jason Hayes joined WMOK for Coffee Break most recently we discussed the current state of the Joppa-Massac Annexation Issue.
During our conversation Mr. Hayes discussed the following items:
What is required for the annexation to pass during the election in April?
Will teachers lose their jobs if annexation occurs?
Would all of the Joppa Maple Grove Schools close immediately if annexation occurs?
Would annexation take place immediately if the voters approve in April?
Why is the annexation question even on the ballot?
Will annexation create a very large school district?
