Warren County Stranded Families Refuse Evacuation
Warren County faces a harsh winter with residents delaying evacuation while road crews and disaster teams work to restore heating fuel and water. Fuel oil deliveries reach homes in 5 gallon cans and 10 wheel trucks, as eight foot drifts and downed infrastructure strain service. County officials declare an emergency as the Ohio National Guard and contractors assist in plowing, while residents and helpers cope with frozen pipes, water shortages, and improvised support networks.

The action leaves the 1977 78 negotiations in doubt and raised questions about future bargaining. The board also approved a sixth grade outdoor education program at Camp Campbell Garcia and accepted resignations, plus raised a student wage to the state minimum and authorized liability insurance for board members.
