Girl’s tuition issue to be heard in court

BOARDMAN — A Western Reserve Road couple believes their niece who lives with them is entitled to a free education in the Boardman school district.

But they say in a court action that the school district wants to charge tuition for the girl to attend.

Katherine and Anthony Grosso, who live in Canfield but within the school district, filed the action last week in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court through Atty. Matthew T. Fekete.

They have custody of their niece, who is 16, and originally from Las Vegas.

A magistrate granted a temporary restraining order last week allowing the girl to attend school during the pendency of the court proceeding, Fekete said. She started classes this week.

A hearing on a preliminary injunction in the case is set for Sept. 19.
