Some Ohio County residents are upset after the Wheeling-Ohio Board of Education voted to reduce funding for the county’s public library by one-third.
The decision to reallocate funding for the library was handed down during a board meeting last month. It voted to reduce funding from 3 cents to 2 cents per $100 of the institution’s assessed property value, according to the
Wheeling Intelligencer. The board plans to use the money that would have gone to the library to fund property improvements within the county.
Supporters and staff members of the library system think this decision is ill-advised. Library President Dottie Thomas says it would mean a cut in the services and programs the library currently provides. She is concerned about upkeep on the building itself.

WHEELING The Ohio County Board of Education’s move to cut its allocations to the county library by a third isn’t sitting well with local historian Margaret Brennan of Wheeling.
Brennan addressed the board this week, thanking the board and the school system for efforts displayed during the pandemic. She then asked why the board chose to reduce the money it gives the library.
The board voted 3-2 on April 26 to reduce the amount of its library contribution from three cents per $100 of assessed county property value, to two cents. The reduction is projected to lower the next fiscal year’s funding to the library from approximately $884,547 to $589,698.

Ohio County Schools Director of Operations David Crumm addresses board of education members Monday regarding improvements at Triadelphia Middle School and Steenrod Elementary School.
WHEELING The Triadelphia Middle School annex will remain standing and won’t be demolished once an addition is constructed to the main school building this summer, Ohio County Board of Education members learned Monday night.
Their next decision will be whether to spend $182,000 on a flood mitigation project at nearby Steenrod Elementary School, or see if a more cost-effective plan would alleviate flooding issues experienced at the school in recent years.
