Elyria Board weighs closed schools and building refurbishments
Elyria plans to close five elementary schools and consolidate two junior highs next fall while renovating several buildings. A new boiler at the Hamilton site may be needed if the old section is razed, with the Head Start and Parks and Recreation departments seeking joint use. The district will reuse Maplewood for offices and transfer programs to Edison, and a rummage sale will liquefy surplus library books. The board also considers outside bids for insurance and an evaluation of non certified staff positions, weighing internal versus external review costs.

Use Honda's method to challenge imports
Lorain County sales executives were urged to attack competitive imports rather than huddle. John F. Rossman of Sachs Motors cited Honda’s 15 year domestic entry, heavy advertising, and a market share over 90 percent to show how high volume lowers unit costs. He compared Honda’s strategy to Henry Ford expanding the market for low unit cost autos.
