Hands Off Policy On Amish Schools Reinforced
The Geauga County Board of Education reaffirms its long standing hands off stance on Amish schools after a Supreme Court decision exempting them from most state rules. County Supt Denver Jiden notes the issue is a religious one and cites state building standards for health and safety. Ania Byler says the Geauga and Trumbull districts run a cooperative system with church owned schools and member funded tuition.
