Three Hundred Gallia Children Sit Out School Amid Raccoon Roads
In Gallia County Raccoon Township about 300 children cannot attend classes as thawed roads cut by buses through mud and frost. Rio Grande is the sole remaining school due to consolidation, with buses traveling 16 miles over dirt roads to reach it. Indefinite vacation awaits until roads dry or another freeze restores passable routes.

Resume of Free School Lunch for Relief Families Restarted
Hot school lunches resumed in Gallipolis for relief families only after a week’s pause. Superintendent Wayne Lutz said meals would go to undernourished children or those with relief status. Origin of the pause involved well‑to‑do students eating and donating funds on freezing days, prompting a district ruling to serve only the underprivileged. A $319.97 relief fund previously allocated by county commissioners will finance the lunches again.
