Annexation Brings Education Troubles for Elyria Schools
Annexing the Elyria Township area east of the river and north of the city line will strain the Elyria City Board of Education. Spring Valley would supply about one third of the pupils in the new section, with 70 children in the northern part. If transfers are not arranged, tax issues from Couture property will affect the entire city, and pupils face long trips to Elyria High School with no bus service and limited lunch options. A small annexed school building exists but is in poor condition and may be shifted to the Elyria board, though the outcome remains uncertain.
