Solon School Board Ends Open Enrollment Policy
Solon voters face a crowded district as enrollment climbs higher than ever. High school figures hover around 336 with overcrowded lunchrooms and a filled study hall in the band room. Kindergarten adds a class in Lakeview Elementary gym as officials plan for a new high school by 2002 to ease strain. An $48,180 boiler replacement is planned for the high school this winter. A street-improvement cost share of about $700,000 to $850,000 is under negotiation and a special committee will meet today at 5 30 p.m.
