LIBRARY APPEALS BALLOT ITEM

From the pages of the Lockport paper...


The Middleport Free Library will be appealing to the state education commissioner the decision to put its tax levy on the May school ballot.

Royalton-Hartland Superintendent Kevin MacDonald said the district was served legal papers from the library on Thursday morning. Roy-Hart has three business days to respond, which MacDonald said it will do by Monday.

“We’re in the process of doing so,” MacDonald said. “And we’ll go from there.”

MacDonald said the library is also asking for a stay on the May 15 vote. The tax levy would be removed from the ballot if state education commissioner John King were to grant the stay. MacDonald was unsure when Roy-Hart would hear a response from the commissioner’s office.
