In the early 1960s one room rural schools were closed with [[SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION]] and the creation of the Western Dubuque Community School District and the [[DUBUQUE COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT]]. Wayne Drexler moved from overseeing the country schools to Superintendent of Western Dubuque. Cottingham Road was used as a dividing line between the districts. All families on the road were approached and asked what district they wanted to be in. We chose Dubuque and some of our neighbors farther to the east chose Western Dubuque. The line was drawn to accommodate all. The majority of the farm had to be in the district the family chose.
