Topic: Galion High School Preservation Efforts

[merraterra2]

We are fighting the Board of Education in Hillsboro. Our school has existed since '35. We want the board to save it for reuse. They are not willing. Reading this thread has pointed out some avenues to avoid, since they have not worked for others. I just hound out today that we cannot remove our board members because we don't have the right kind of city government. It appears that a law suit is only capable of postponing the inevitable. Anyone have suggestions of what might work???

^Off the top of my head, it sounds like a petition would work best. (hope it's not too late?)  But if you can provide, say, 1000 signatures of people who will be angry if the school is demolished, the board might be more inclined to listen, if they plan on seeking reelection, or plan to ask for any kind of levy in the near future.

^^I think that it will just remain a vacant lot.

^I never got to see the school in person 

This was actually my high school. It's weird to see empty land there...in addition to nearly every elementary school and the middle school.
