LIBRARY VOTE STANDS

The Roy-Hart school board met last night and today's US&J makes note of their finding regarding the library tax issue:


The Royalton-Hartland School District followed the rules regarding the Middleport Library vote, but cannot void the outcome of the election and call for a new vote, according to what officials were told by the district’s attorney.

So the question was asked if the school district did what it was supposed to in regard to the vote. And Board of Education President Patricia Riegle informed residents of the answer at a meeting Thursday.

“What has been determined is the district did follow education law to the letter, we’ve done everything we’ve been asked to do,” Riegle said. “We were also told the Board of Education has no authority to void that vote.”


The entire article is a must-read. It addresses the library issue, the preliminary budget, budget talks and a donation. It can be found here:
