Rep. Mahoney files petition seeking consolidation referendum
State Rep. Timothy Mahoney filed petitions Tuesday with the Fayette County Election Bureau seeking to have the question of county school district administration consolidation placed on the November ballot.
Mahoney, D-South Union, is seeking for voters to decide if they are in favor of consolidating the administrations and school boards of the county’s six school districts.
If the referendum passes with a majority vote, the onus would fall on the school districts to implement the consolidation.
Mahoney said the identities of the individual school districts would remain, and he intends to hold various public meetings to discuss the plan before the Nov. 8 municipal election.
