No decision yet on Ray Learning center funding
The Ray Learning center faces a $40,000 shortfall to operate to the end of the school year with a decision expected within two weeks by Area A's board of education. The center has funds through Jan 31, and anonymous local businessmen offered the needed amount if the district lacks funds, though Vallena says funding is the board’s responsibility.
