WBESC Governing Board information

The Western Buckeye Educational Service Center Governing Board accepted the resignation of longtime treasurer Gary Ginter during its November meeting on Wednesday. Ginter resigned to become treasurer of the Wayne Trace Local School District.

“It is a gain for Wayne Trace and a loss for Western Buckeye,” said Superintendent Brian Gerber of Ginter’s resignation. “I have worked with Gary for the past four years and he is very efficient and professional … I will miss him.”

“Gary has a voluminous amount of fiscal experience and will serve Wayne Trace well,” added WBESC Governing Board President Nick Miller.

The WBESC board also hired Elizabeth Grillot as a paraprofessional for Allen County, effective October 16 and Brian Rockhold as a school psychologist for 80 days, effective the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year.

In other action, the board:

• Adjusted the contract of Cheryl Mongold, a part-time aide at Lincolnview Local Schools, to reflect her two years of experience on the salary schedule.
• Increased work days for Michelle Davis at the Van Wert ESC office by approximately 28 days, beginning December 2.
• Approved the revised Fiscal Year 2014 Family and Children First Council budget, the FY 2014 Help Me Grow budget ad the FY 2014 subsidy agreement.
• Renewed membership in the Ohio School Boards Association Legal Assistance Fund at an annual cost of $250.
• Approved new and revised board policies, as presented by NEOLA.

The next WBESC Governing Board meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, December 11, at the Paulding ESC office.
