Nelsonville board shifts senior trip after protest
Nelsonville Board of Education heard parents led by Mrs. Violet Hollenbaugh oppose scheduling the senior trip during Holy Week. The board changed the spring vacation to April 3 through 5 and approved the 1961 appropriations totaling 387,280.80 with detailed allocations. The superintendent reported on the Athens County school survey favoring consolidation into two districts and potential tax implications. A $20,000 advance from the county auditor was authorized for payroll, a $1000 service fund established, and library head Mrs. Hubert Mender resigned.
