Showalter sees hope for schools bailout in legislature action
Elyria school leaders see a possible legislative reprieve from a 23 day fall shutdown that could undercut support for a 6.9 mill operating levy on June 6. Showalter warned lawmakers may act before year end to avert widespread closings, making voters less receptive to the levy while underscoring the election year constraint on tax increases. The board voted 4-1 to close schools from late November through December, hoping later reopening or levy passage would ease finances through 1981, with best odds near a November reopening.
