Springfield District Owes $7500 to Other Schools in 1933 Debt
Gallia County records show the Springfield District Board of Education owes about $7,500 in tuition to neighboring districts for 1933-34. Nine elementary and twelve high school pupils attended Raccoon and Rio Grande, while 46 elementary and 38 high school pupils went to Bidwell, and eight high school pupils to Gallia Academy. The district operates five one room schools, some closed due to low enrollment, and risks losing state aid if arrears persist.
