County struggles to open state funded school for mentally disabled
Athens state representatives told Gallia County commissioners a school for mentally disabled students must be built and run under strict state guidelines. Last year the program served about 30 students who previously attended Gallia and Rutland schools. Voters have rejected operating funds three times. commissioners say current state rules block using available facilities and fund operation. Judge Manning Webster urged hiring a program administrator. In other business, commissioners approved road repair on County Road 1 and an animal claim, while trustees were asked to add six tenths of a mile of Clyde Salser Road to the county system but no action was taken.
