Hardy school officials make case for levy as costs rise, state funding lags

By Patrick Hurston

Facing rising costs, declining enrollment, and what local school officials describe as an outdated state funding formula, the Hardy County Schools Levy Committee recently held two townhall-style meetings to raise awareness, understanding, and support for the levy that will appear on the May 12 ballot. A third townhall is scheduled for Apr. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Walnut Grove Church of the Brethren in Moorefield.
