Meigs County faces funding crisis for retarded program

Meigs County may be forced to send about 30 mentally retarded students to Gallia County for tuition and transport this year as the county seeks funds to build or operate a local school. Commissioners say no funds exist and voters have rejected levies, while state officials urge provision of education for the mentally retarded. The search for a temporary site continues with plans stalled by site approval and financial constraints.
