king George draws the line on students

Sherrin Bullet considers herself a King George resident,even though she pays real-estate in neighbooring Westmoreland County. Since October 2005, she and husband,Stephen,have lived in a house on Trigger lane,just over the Westmoreland line.The King George School Board voted a year ago in August not to admit students who live on Trigger Lane starting this academic year, unless they've completed at least one year at the high school.The decision affected 10 students,a school offical said yesturday.Bullet said she thought the issuse would "blow over" and she'd be able to send her twins to King George Elementary this year. In fact, she said, she would have purchase the house on Trigger Lane had she known her childern couldn't attend King George schools.
