Kiantone residents raise funds in anti centralization fight
About 300 people attended a Kiantone Congregational Church chicken supper that raised more than 300 to support residents opposing the State ordered centralization plan affecting the Frewsburg Central School District. A meeting with attorney Michael D. Lombardo was expected to address the temporary injunction ruling by Supreme Court Justice Hamilton Ward in Buffalo, which denied a halt on using Kiantone school buildings. The ruling did not settle whether the Kiantone buildings may be permanently restricted, with further action set for Mayville next month.
