School Transfer Dispute Roils Athens County Board Meeting
A three hour Athens County Board of Education session heard four transfer petitions, dominated by York-Nelsonville plans to move sections to Nelsonville. York residents accused York teachers of political activity while opponents warned the plan would split the district and raise taxes. Other petitions included transfers from Albany to Athens Rural and Trimble Township to Chauncey Dover, with debates over tax duplicates and district impact. The board will study all sides before April 1 decisions, with state action possible if rejected.
