At the November 18 meeting, the Alexandria School Board voted unanimously to dissolve Lakes Area Recreation (LAR) and the joint powers agreement that created it back in 1989. Earlier this month, the other three parts of the Joint Powers Board – Alexandria Township, City of Alexandria, and LaGrand Township – also voted to dissolve LAR. As a result of the dissolution, the school district will assume responsibility for the majority of recreation programs under its Community Education department.
