HUGO — The unofficial results of Tuesday’s special Hugo Schools election were 694 (84%) against and 133 (16%) for.
The result means properties in the Messer Community will not be de-annexed into Rattan School District.
Hugo Superintendent Tony Daugherty expressed appreciation to all who voted and supported the school during the election process.
“We hope we won’t have to have another election like this,” he said. “It is something we (as a school district) pay for. We don’t have the resources to pay for elections like this every year.”
The superintendent went on to say that he was sorry some people were upset enough with the schools to lead to this kind of election.
He said state law prohibits school districts from driving buses into other districts to pick up students. So although parents are free to transfer their children to other schools, they have to provide transportation for them.
The Choctaw County courthouse and all offices inside were closed Wednesday in observance of Veterans Day. |

HUGO — Thieves chose two Choctaw County cemeteries as their targets last week where they stole numerous T-posts which were used in the cemetery fences.
According to the Choctaw County Sheriff’s Department, two men removed 75 orange and white T-posts from the Crosley Cemetery, valued at $450. Officers gathered some evidence at the scene.
Springs Chapel Cemetery was also the target of thieves, who removed between 60 and 80 posts from the cemetery’s west and southern fences. Value of those posts were $420.
Also a victim of thieves was Choctaw County District Barn No. 2, where thieves let a gooseneck trailer down, causing the rear wheels of the 2004 Ford pickup to raise up enough so that the thieves removed the two rear wheels and tires of the pickup. The tires were size: 235-75-16.
