25 YEARS AGO: It was reported there were discussions to reorganize school districts in Oakdale, Riverbank and Waterford. Parents and residents of Oakdale had asked school officials to look into unifying the high school district with its feeder elementary districts. However residents of Waterford, whose children traveled up to 15 miles to the high schools in Oakdale and Riverbank, expressed interest in their own high school. The reorganizations had to be approved by the state Board of Education and if Waterford wanted a unified school district, a high school had to be built within three years of unification, a proposal that required a two-thirds voter approval of general obligation bonds.
