Newton Falls parents ask questions about busing, teacher-student ratio

NEWTON FALLS — The board of education usually allocates 30 minutes for comments and questions from spectators during its meeting.

It needed an hour tonight because of a turnout that was anything but usual.

More than 70 people, most of them parents of students along with a few teachers, crammed the meeting room, and the board moved the session to the high school auditorium.

The crowd had been expected after the recently settled teacher strike, but its questions focused more on demands for restoring busing for high school students and improving the ratio of teachers to students rather than the strike.
