With the approval of a shared services agreement, the Boardman Local School District and the Lowellville Local School District became the first public schools in Mahoning County to share a treasurer.

L. Greg Slemons was appointed treasurer of the Boardman School District in June with a start date of Aug. 1. At Monday’s board of education meeting, the board approved the agreement with Lowellville. Slemons is replacing Richard Santilli.

Slemons will be the full-time treasurer for both districts. He will earn $72,000 annually as treasurer for Boardman; $70,000 for Lowellville. The districts will share the cost of his benefits and other things, such as fees for conferences. His contract with Boardman is for three years.

“So both districts are benefiting from that,” said Frank Lazzeri, Boardman superintendent.
