Athens City Board transfer requested by county officials
The Athens County School Board authorized Supt. George Christman to send a state education department letter seeking transfer of a class for children with severe behavioral disorders to the Athens City Board. The move follows the city board’s decision to assume fiscal responsibility for the class. The county board also heard updates on textbook adoptions with new study committees for math science and English and approved purchasing 10 copies of a book on school financing from the Ohio School Board Association. They paid $7 305 in September bills. Joe Theiss from Dr and Mrs Theiss will be a sophomore attendant at Alexander High School Homecoming Friday as politicians toured the facility.
