“Former board members said the 2020 costs were covered by $135,000 from unused salary accounts for frozen positions, and $133,284 from residual Shenandoah Valley Regional Program for Special Education tuition. Shenandoah Forward, which was founded by community members, raised the remaining amount, under $40,000.

This is weird because I sat for segments on the Libby Prison Breakout and on Pauline Cushman but I have no recollection whatsoever of speaking about Wallace Turnage. Anyhow, this was produced by Wide Awake films out of Kansas City. They're fantastic on historical documentary things like this.
