Ionia school board meeting was at less than half capacity when Daily News reporter wasn’t allowed to attend



Ionia Public Schools officials didn’t allow a Daily News reporter to attend a March 22 special school board meeting in person even though school officials were well aware that the meeting capacity was under the state of Michigan’s 25-person limit.

Meanwhile, the Ionia school board is now set to discuss its March 22 vote regarding whether to close Emerson Elementary School due to some possible issues in the wording of the motion. The Emerson discussion is scheduled for an April 14 meeting at which two new school board members will be seated after two school board members abruptly resigned shortly before the March 22 meeting.
