Gallipolis Superintendent Defends School Financing Plan
Gallipolis educator Edwin Higgins defended the state funded school system at a press conference. He warned that if the city fails to renew an eight mill operating levy the city would lose about 93 730 in state aid and 28 000 in local revenue. Higgins stressed democracy requires shared costs as Gallipolis would face a reduced budget and only a partial school year without renewal. He detailed per pupil funding levels from both the district and state and noted the eight mill requirement governs guaranteed state programs.
