SANDRIDGE SCHOOL -2

Vermont Township

4017 County JJ
1911
|
District: 7
Notes: 1883 - 1953. This was the last school built in the township. School District No. 7 was formed on
October 30, 1883 and a school was constructed soon thereafter. Ole S.
Amble and John Wall leased about 3/4 of an acre to the school district for five cents a year as long as
the land was used for public school purposes. On April 12, 1916 the school voted
to build a new school adjacent to the old one under the same lease
terms. On May 22, 1917 the old school (Sandridge 1)was
sold and moved to the nearby Sever Amble farm where it still stands
in 2014 having been used a granary and horse stable over the years.
By 1935 there was a Mother's Club. In 1951 the Dane County School Committee ordered that the school combine with Black Earth District. Sandridge objected but in the fall of 1953 the students were transported to Black Earth for school. On April 2, 1957 the town of Vermont bought Sandridge School for use as a Town Hall. It is still used as a Town Hall and garage in 2014 and is located at 4017 Highway JJ.
