Albion Marshall school merger urged as May 3 vote nears
A Calhoun County activist writes as a state representative urging a yes on annexation of Albion into a merged Albion Marshall district. He argues the $4.2 million state grant would relieve over $3 million in debt, prevent dissolution if insolvent, and improve curriculum and opportunities for about 320 local students. He stresses prioritizing children’s education and encourages voters to participate despite typically low May turnout.
