Upon the consolidation and closure of the various community schools, school trustee records were supposed to be transferred to the Municipal School Board of the District of Argyle. In most cases these records were not turned in and remained within the communities. However, some minute books have been donated to the Argyle Township Court House Archives. Further accruals are expected.
