During his monthly report, Superintendent Mike Estes told board members he\u2019s renewed efforts to attract more substitute teachers to the district, including working with temporary employment agencies to fill the void.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re going to have to get very creative (to address the shortage),\u201d Estes said.<\/p>\n

The superintendent also presented board members with certificates of appreciation, as part of the Ohio School Boards Association\u2019s \u201cSchool Board Recognition Month\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank each of you as board members for the work and the vision that you put into guiding this district and representing its citizens,\u201d Estes said. \u201cI believe we have an outstanding district here; it\u2019s just a great place to work, live, and raise your kids, and we appreciate your efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other business, the Crestview board accepted various donations, including $14,396 from the Mary Marxen Scholarship Fund for music curriculum, $8,910 from the Marxen Scholarship Fund for science curriculum, $1,395 from the Klein Trust of The Van Wert County Foundation $1,395 for needy children, and $200 from Convoy United Methodist Church Women for needy elementary students.<\/p>\n

Board members learned the names of recent spelling bee champions and runners-up: fifth-graders Olivia Ramos and Addison Williman, sixth-graders Kendra Speith and Chloe Black, seventh-graders Sophia Saylor and Aidan Ankney, and eighth-graders Carson Kreischer and Preston Eberle.<\/p>\n

The winner at each grade level will compete in the Van Wert County Spelling Bee at the Marsh Foundation on February 2.<\/p>\n

Athletic Director Dave Bowen said the district is also in need of a new girls\u2019 soccer coach. Joy Short resigned after serving as head coach for three years, and three years as an assistant.<\/p>\n
