Court Action Looms as Sparta Merger Faces Delay
A state ordered merger of Sparta and Corry schools could face delays, with court action likely to extend into fall. The Corry Area Jointure has tentatively passed its 1969 1970 budget without Sparta while Dr Frantz noted aggrieved districts may appeal in the county court. Crawford County officials will file supersedeas if Meadville appearances fail, with the State Board of Education defending its order. Corry solicitor Frank McKnight plans to testify if called.
