It’s interesting that Jeannette’s mayor wants the Jeannette City School District to merge with the Hempfield Area School District now as the Hempfield Area School Board and its out-of-state contractor need to justify spending over $100 million on a school district with a declining population. Does anyone really believe that adding Jeannette will help stop an impending tax increase to pay for renovations, including an excessive front entrance?
Just remember that, despite all the zoning changes in Hempfield Township, no one has started building. And, if you read this paper, you know that Hempfield has a lot of tax delinquency.
If Jeannette can change districts, then I want to also!
