USD 257 Board of Education convened a public forum Monday evening in which they informed a gathering of about 60 of their intention to seek guidance from the Allen County District Court regarding the school district’s role as trustee of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

The majority of the evening, however, was given over to Bowlus backers, who made polite but insistent appeals that the district maintain its link with the fine arts center, or at least be a part of the solution to preserve the institution they cherish. 

The board, under the will of philanthropist Thomas Bowlus, was named trustee of the fine arts center, making the citizens of Iola and students of USD 257 its  unique beneficiaries.
