CORTLAND, N.Y. (WHCU) — After efforts failed in December to sell the former Virgil Elementary School building, officials want to try again. 

The Cortland Standard reports a majority of Cortland’s school board are in favor of adding proposals to the school budget vote this spring. A vote to sell the building was defeated last month, 228 to 269.

During a school board meeting Tuesday, four of the seven members agreed to allow Superintendent Bob Edwards to continue working on getting the building sold.

School budget votes are on May 17th.

They are ridiculous. They are addictively great. Comic books, of the superhero variety, are 100% American.
