Elyria schools hit pause on land sale over bond defeat
The Elyria Board of Education stopped selling the West River Road property after the $58 million November bond failed, since moving offices and bus facilities depended on a new site and funds. Officials say bids, not church status, dictated the pause and that taxpayers’ interests and sound finances guide decisions. The Chronicle Telegram endorses the board’s commitment to children’s education.
