The Millcreek-West Unity Local Board of Education met at 6 p.m. on April 8, 2024.  Present were Dawn Layman, Heather Jones, Brian Wieland, Randy Mahlman, and David Chester.

After the pledge of allegiance, Superintendent Jim Wyse shared that a county-wide assembly will be taking place the morning of May 7, 2024 for the 7th through 12th grades.

The assembly, taking place at Bryan High School, will see former NBA player Chris Herren speak on making good choices with regards to substance abuse.

He continued by giving the NEOLA policy update its first reading, then moving on to touch on the failure of the March substitute levy, and asked the members of the board to seek community input on the placement of a levy on the November ballot.

Mr. Riley shared the March Students of the Month, who were listed as follows: Gyllyan Proper, Leo Cullis, Ariana Fuller, Ian Hansen, Alaina Russell, Brennan Dempsey, Devin Dempsey, Cameron Shimp, Brooklyn Kuszmaul, Ainsley Severance, Nathan Matz, Adaleia Moore, Savanah Westfall, Sophia Crossgrove, Tina Dickinson, Libbie Baker, Anthony Pelland, Kenley Routt, Aryan Shaffer, Eloit Flaugher, Kason Rediger, and Riley Clendenin.

Riley announced that Hilltop High School has earned the Momentum Award from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce for the 2022-23 school year.

State testing began last week, with testers coming to school at 8 a.m. on days they have classes, and 10 a.m. on days without.

The following dates will see the following grades coming in at 8 a.m. for testing:  April 30-May 1: Math for 7th and 8th grades, testing for Algebra I and Geometry students; May 2-3: Science for 8th graders and testing for Biology students.

Eden Mahlman and Kyle Rivas were congratulated for qualifying for the State FCCLA Skills Competition in Columbus, and Shannon Spires was congratulated on representing the State of Ohio in Chicago at the National BPA Leadership Conference.

On April 26th, 7th through 11th grade students will participate in Career Day, with the 12th graders participating in Senior Next Day.

This year’s prom is being celebrated on April 27th. Dinner is to start at 6 p.m., with the dance itself planned to span from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., with an “Olympics” themed assortment of activities being held at the school for post prom.

Mr. Mansfield shared that kindergarten registration and screening revealed that the incoming kindergarten class will be quite sizable, with it being expected that more students have yet to be registered still.

Mrs. Rupp, Mrs. Horton, Ms. Pursel, Mr. Drewes, Mrs. Gerig, Dr. Eckhardt, Mrs. Welling, Mrs. Kuney, and Mrs. Gamboe were thanked for their efforts on the registration.

Third grade tutoring has been going well, with Mrs. Tule and Ms. McCann thanked for their efforts. Melvin Adams, former NBA player and Harlem Globetrotter came in earlier that morning to speak to the elementary students.

The 84 students who made the honor roll with the end of the third quarter were congratulated, and May 6th and 7th will see Breakfast with Buds for Grandparents Day, with the mobile dentist soon to visit, the kindergarten class gearing up to visit Spangler Candy, a Mud Hens game on May 8th, and a third grade field trip to the Erie Canal.

After a brief statement was given regarding the use of the district’s Title and IDEA-B funding, the consent agenda was approved as presented.

This included the minutes and financial statements from last month’s meeting, employment contracts, appropriations, certified positions, classified positions, resignations, early graduation requests, the new Bus Driver Reimbursement language for the Policy Statement, an overnight FFA Officer Training event at Devil’s Lake, Manitou Beach, Michigan, and donations from the Hilltop Class of 1962, Lions Club, and Collaboratory.

The meeting was then adjourned at 6:16 p.m., set to meet next on Monday, May 13, 2024 at 6 p.m. in the library.
