CONVOY — Teachers and staff members at Crestview Elementary were honored during a brief reception held during Monday\u2019s district Board of Education meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview Elementary was one of just 14 schools in Ohio to earn the prestigious National Blue Ribbon School award, which is based on overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really a team effort,\u201d Crestview Elementary Principal Jessica Schuette said. \u201cIt involves the community, it involves all the staff members, the parents and the students, all working together for academic excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schuette and second grade teacher Bethany Balliet accepted the award at a national recognition ceremony in Washington, D.C., last month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her report to the board, Superintendent Kathy Mollenkopf said she\u2019s reached out to other superintendents in Van Wert County to invite State Representative Craig Riedel (R-Defiance) and State Senator Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) to come to Crestview to meet as a group to discuss EdChoice and local report cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had two conversations with their legislative aides today, so I\u2019m excited to see if they\u2019re willing to visit us and engage in those conversations,\u201d Mollenkopf said. \u201cI think those are some much needed conversations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Board members approved a two-year contract with Casey Dowler to serve as Early Childhood Center principal, and the board accepted the resignation of paraprofessional Terri Straw, who worked for the district for 29.5 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Tinnel was approved as a volunteer middle school track coach, and the board gave approval to an overnight trip for the softball team and coaches April 18-19 in Columbus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The board accepted a donation of $3,500 to Crestview Middle School and Crestview High School athletics from Van Wert Federal Savings Bank, and $220 in donations from the Class of 1984 for the eighth grade Washington, D.C., trip and the government class trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Auld was appointed as president pro-tem for next month\u2019s organizational meeting, which will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, January 13, 2020, followed by the regular monthly meeting in the District Boardroom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
