An Elizabeth Forward School Board member accused local elected officials of not supporting the school district following the devastating Feb. 12 fire at the high school.
During a board meeting Wednesday, Director Scott Henry expressed frustration with the lack of state funding coming to the district in the wake of the fire, as well as communication from local legislators.
Board President Thomas Sharkey, and directors Jamie Evans and Travis Stoffer were among board members who agreed with Henry.
Henry urged residents to direct their frustrations with the perceived lack of renovations/construction progress onto their local representatives.
