Richardson HAMMONDSVILLE – Edison Local school board members reorganized for the year and took action on a land purchase to store vehicles during a session on Jan. 6. Aaron Richardson, board president, and Ron Smyth, vice president, were returned to their posts with Lisa Bruzzese remaining as treasurer during the organizational session while officials discussed ongoing projects at Edison High School at a subsequent regular meeting. Superintendent Bill Beattie said the district was paying $150,000 for a nearly 3-acre tract a quarter mile from the Richmond campus to accommodate about 20 district buses and vans. He explained that the relocation was necessary in order to use the current bus garage site for the new softball field.
