| View | School District Minute: "It was recommended that the Board direct the solicitor to prepare petitions to place the annexation of the Slippery Rock Area Elementary School property by Slippery Rock Borough on the spring primary ballot. The solicitor noted that the legislature has not yet voted a simple annex procedure. Therefore petitions must be circulated in Slippery Rock Township to request the annexation, and in Slippery Rock Borough to permit the annexation. The question would then be on the spring primary ballot in both municipalities. This was tried two years ago and not enough signatures were obtained. A certain percentage of those who voted in the last general election are needed. John Peterson moved to direct the Solicitor to prepare the necessary petitions to annex the land and building of Slippery Rock Area Elementary School into Slippery Rock Borough and to prepare the necessary petitions to permit the annexation by Slippery Rock Township residents. The motion was seconded by Asa Wiley and carried unanimously. It was noted that Slippery Rock Borough entirely surrounds this property." | Dec 11, 1978 | p. 283 |
