Controversy over Christian band revisited in Rossford
The Rossford school board has called a special meeting tonight with its attorneys to discuss issues involving Pawn, the Christian rock band restricted from playing during school hours.
Board Vice President Mike Spahr said the board will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria, 701 Superior St. The board and members of the district's law firm, Whalen & Compton of Akron, will discuss why officials turned down the request for Pawn to play during an anti-drug rally last month.
Superintendent Luci Gernot initially rejected the request to allow Pawn to perform - prompting a flood of national attention - because of concerns over having Christian music played at a public school event. Students would have had the option whether to attend the band's show.
