No Vote For FEMA Safe Room At Warsaw

Some time has passed since the April elections and several area schools saw the passage of their bond issues to improve the schools and install a Federal Emergency Management Agency approved storm shelter, but one school was left out when it came to that approval. The Warsaw R-9 school district had placed the issue on the ballet for voters to vote on a tax increase which would allow the school to add the FEMA safe room along with a new performing arts auditorium but voters took to the polls and said no. The board of education had a special meeting on Thursday to discuss the option of putting it back on the ballot a 2^nd time during the august primary. However, the board decided it would be best to reject the FEMA grant and discontinue attempting to build the project. The vote carried 7 to nothing making it unanimous.
