The bill reads: "As of July 1, 1968, no district shall operate a grade school unless there is al so a high school within the district." Ohio law provides that the transfer could have been made by a simple request from the Wheeling Local to the Guernsey county board and no vote would have been necessary.

However the Wheeling Local board decided to give residents a voice in any changeover, resulting in a formal petition be ing presented to the Guernsey board and Tuesday's 1 vote.
