Susan Campriello in The Daily Mail reports that the Cairo-Durham School Board voted down a $108,500 bus maintenance agreement between the their schools and the Greenville Central School District Thu., July 12. The vote was 4-4-1 vote, with a majority required to pass resolutions. School Board President Greg Koerner-Fox, Vice President Carl Kohrs, and board members Robert Criswell, and Beatrice Clappin voted for the agreement, while Beth Daly, Thomas Plank, Susan Kusminsky, and William Alfeld were against, and Elizabeth Philips abstained. The agreement would have ended 50-plus years of the Cairo-based Thomas Rogers Auto Service taking care of the buses. Both schools said they would have saved money with the agreement, but supporters of Rogers argued otherwise. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
