Big Cabin Voters Nix Annexation

BIG CABIN - Voters narrowly rejected a proposal to annex the Big Cabin School District to Adair, election officials said Wednesday.

Unofficial returns showed the measure failing, 230-223.

School districts in Adair, White Oak and Vinita are trying to merge with the Big Cabin School District in Craig County.

A Delaware County judge's ruling earlier this month made Adair the only choice in the first election.

State school superintendent Sandy Garrett is awaiting advice from the state attorney general's office on whether all three districts could be placed on a single ballot. BIOG: NAME:
