New District Formed By Merging Vinton and Wilkesville
Vinton and Wilkesville Local School Districts merged at a county board meeting to form a new district in response to need for a larger high school. The consolidation follows a state education department request after spring inspections and uncertain charters for Vinton High and Wilkesville. The plan allocates upper grades to the new area and includes influence from both boards. In Hamden District, four mills were approved for operating expenses and a $15,000 bond passed for school improvements. An Ohio Speech League certificate honored Allensville School for the state finals play Shock Of His Life, with Brown Zalesk student Charles Pinney earning all-state recognition in A Date For Bobby Sox.
