Elyria Board Shoes Dilemma Meets State Law
Elyria City Board of Education is halted by an attorney general ruling that school funds may buy only text books for indigent students. The district has spent about 200 on shoes this school year. The former Elyria Choral Society offered surplus funds to buy shoes, while the PTA via Franklin School aids clothing. The board seeks a civic sponsor to handle shoe aid when the choral funds run out.
