The Cass County Superintendent of Schools records consist of official forms submitted by the local school districts in Cass County to the Superintendent’s office. The original organization of the records by the superintendent’s office has been retained. Arranged in numeral sequence by the school district number, the records thereafter are strictly in chronological order. The type of documents for each year normally include the Clerk’s Annual Report; Poll Book, Tally List and Official Returns; Certificate of Election; and the Treasurer’s Report.
