[Vision2020] Judge rules March schoo levy null and void

[Darrell Keim]

Paul,

I can't speak to all of your questions about Dr. Weitz.  He does have a
histroy of being active with the schools. In past years he had been very
active on the school board.  I believe he did advocate very strongly at that
time for vo-tech.  He also had a strong hand in the creation of the
alternative school.
