Board to Seek Hearing On Rio Grande Charter
Gallipolis Raccoon Local School District's Board of Education met in special session to request a hearing on the State Board of Education's plan to revoke the Rio Grande High School charter. The board renewed contracts for five teachers for five years and two for two years, and said it would petition the state board after Executive Head Glendon C. Evans announced the hearing request. The state board cited failure to meet minimum standards and enrollment decline as reasons for possible revocation following an inspection by state school inspector Gerald R. Norman.
