State Revokes Laurelville School District Charter
The State Board of Education voted to revoke Laurelville district’s charter effective June 30 for failing to meet minimum standards in personnel facilities and curriculum. Gettysburg and Liberty Local in Darke County faced similar actions with multiple deficiencies. Laurelville has 531 students and provided 38 class units for 851 pupils, while Gettysburg and Liberty Local also fell short on required units and state requirements. A special Hocking County session considered transferring Benton Two residents to Logan or Logan Elm districts. Hearing on Laurelville was canceled after legal advice. Additional actions included TV lesson projects for state schools and new charters for Columbus State Hospital Adolescent Center and Glenwood School Twinsburg.
