Solehi Will Give $64K to Southern Lehigh Public Library

The Southern Lehigh School Board approved, by a 7-0 vote at its Monday night meeting, a $64,000 contribution to the Southern Lehigh Public Library for the 2013-2014 budget.

The 2013-2014 donation is the same amount that the school district has allocated to the library for the past two years, according to Solehi director of business services Jeremy Melber. The school district typically gets a letter from the library asking for a certain financial allocation, Melber explained, but this year no such letter was received. As a result, the administration recommended maintaining the same funding amount in 2013-2014 as 2012-2013.

Board president Jeffrey Dimmig and board member John Quigley were absent from Monday's meeting.
