Mahoney says he plans to keep pushing for county school admininstration and board
State Rep. Timothy Mahoney, D-South Union, said he will press on with the issue of countywide school administration consolidation by lobbying the school boards of Fayette County school districts separately despite a court ruling keeping him from placing a referendum on this year’s ballot.
Last month Judge Ralph C. Warman struck a petition filed by Mahoney for the Nov. 8 municipal election that asked voters to consider consolidating the administrations and school boards of the six school districts in the county.
Mahoney said he will not appeal the decision, but added that because it wasn’t placed on the ballot this year, he can attempt to have it placed on next year’s ballot.
