Whitebead board holds public meeting on proposed annexation of Paoli; no vote taken
Summary
Whitebead hosted a special meeting April 29 to hear public input on a proposal to annex Paoli School District; board members emphasized no formal action would be taken and fielded questions about grade structure, transfers, taxes and finances.
The Whitebead Board of Education convened a special meeting April 29 at Whitebead Auditorium to gather community feedback on a proposed annexation of the Paoli School District into Whitebead. Alex Young opened the meeting, telling attendees, "This meeting is for discussion and information sharing regarding the proposed annexation of Paoli School District into Whitebead School District. No formal action (no vote) will be taken at this meeting."
The session featured roughly 18 public commenters who raised questions about whether Whitebead would become K-12, how student transfers would be handled, the fiscal impact of assuming Paoli debt, and program offerings at Paoli. School staff and a Paoli representative responded to queries; Mr. Midkiff explained the district-level nature of annexation and referenced the state open transfer policy. The board did not take a position or vote on annexation at the meeting.
