\u201cYou\u2019re an excellent and accomplished classroom teacher,\u201d Superintendent Kathy Mollenkopf said to Tinnel. \u201cYou\u2019ve always been an advocate for students with special needs with a clear vision that encompasses inclusionary practices. Your passion for this profession, as well as your innovative approach to classroom instruction, provides creative, real-life learning opportunities for your students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased she\u2019s being recognized for this award — it\u2019s well deserved,\u201d Crestview High School Principal Dave Bowen said. \u201cCindy is an advocate for her students, but she also demands a lot from her students and that\u2019s what I absolutely love about the passion she brings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board and administration went head-to-head with members of the Crestview High School Scholastic Bowl Team, with both sides trying to beat the buzzer to answer questions on various subjects, with the students emerging victorious during the 10-minute demonstration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board approved several financial agenda items, including the five-year financial forecast, which projects deficits in 2021, 2023, and 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe state can only forecast out two years, yet they expect us to do five, so we can\u2019t really do that with any certainty because we don\u2019t have the information,\u201d Treasurer Ashley Whetsel said. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely something we want to keep an eye on, because a lot can change between now and then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whetsel also touched on school funding and noted the proposed Cupp\u2013Patterson funding proposal may still have some traction in Columbus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a brief report, Crestview Elementary Principal Jessica Schuette said students Kash Lichtensteiger, Lydia Grace, Eleanor Lamb and Caleb Thomas were DARE speech winners, and board members Nan Grace, Brad Perrott, Andy Perrott, and John Auld shared their experiences at the recent Ohio School Boards Association\u2019s Capital Conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other business, board members offered congratulations to Ragen Harting and coaches Jeff Bagley and Randy Grandstaff for qualifying for the 2019 Division IV Cross Country State Meet; accepted the resignation of food service worker Katie Griffiths; and gave approval for Crestview Driving School to use the district\u2019s facilities, including classrooms during the school day for driver\u2019s ed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board also received a written update from Mollenkopf on the Early Childhood Center project and the classroom renovation and addition project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next meeting of the Crestview Local Board of Education will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, December 16, in the District Boardroom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
