25 YEARS AGO: The community effort to build Delhi’s first high school was met with approval by the Merced County Committee on School District Organization. The committee cast a unanimous vote and the favorable recommendation was to be sent to the state Board of Education. The state board was expected to act on the recommendation in December with next steps being an election asking the voters whether the school district should become unified and voting for a seven-member board of trustees.
