THE VILLAGE REPORTER

The Archbold School board met for a short meeting on Monday, June 19, 2023, with all members except for Jeremy Hurst and Gina Benecke present.

Vice President Tyson Stuckey took the opportunity to recognize retiring School Treasurer Christine Ziegler for her years of dedicated service to the district.

“We wanted to recognize Ms. Ziegler for her many years of service to the school, the school board, the Archbold constituents, and the Archbold School District.”

“Some of you might know that Chris grew up in Archbold. She was a member of the Archbold High School Class of 1978.”

“She completed her Associate’s degree from Northwest State Community College.  Prior to beginning at Archbold Area Schools, she was a waitress at the Home Restaurant.”

“She then began at Archbold Area Schools as the High School Attendance Secretary and moved into the payroll area. “

“She left Archbold Area Schools to become a fiscal agent at NWOCA and then was hired as the treasurer at Otsego Local Schools.”

”In 2007, Chris returned to the Bluestreaks as treasurer and has remained here since. One fun fact that I did not know actually, was that Chris was hired in the parking lot.”

“Since the superintendent was not there, three board members were present, and Mr. Pugh from the Archbold Buckeye because they were locked out of the building.”

To give some insight into Chris’ mindset relating to the school’s public funds, she said the most rewarding part of her job is being protective of District funds for the taxpayers.”

“In 2007, the district had just passed a new levy, and we did not have to run for another one until 2023.”

“While being proud of this unique feat in public education she gives credit to everyone in the district as we could not be there today without the hard work of everyone involved.”

“One of Chris’ favorite memories or experiences is being able to see all of her grandchildren go through the district beginning in preschool.”

“Chris claims that upon retirement she has no specific plans but is willing to accept whatever God has in store for her.”

“Chris, on behalf of the Archbold School Board, we thank you for your attention to detail, your responsible fiscal management, your communication, and the knowledge you have shared over the years.”

“We certainly wish you the best and thank you for all you have done to support the school district.”

Superintendent Jayson Selgo provided the Board updates on the security camera installation project as well as ongoing miscellaneous building maintenance projects.

Selgo also provided an update on the status of House Bill (HB) 33, the biennial budget for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
