Union City joins Erie County school merger appeal
Union City Joint School Committee voted to join 10 other districts in appealing the Erie County plan that would merge Corry, Sparta, and Union City into a single district. Union City argues the merger would not significantly raise market value per pupil, despite the state goal of boosting district wealth.
