As stated in the first article (April 30), our school district must renew the three 5 year operating levies during 2013 and 2014. Renewal of those levies will not cost homeowners any additional money. Renewal will only allow the school district to continue to collect the same amount of money that the levies have been raising. In addition, the district will need new money (probably in November of 2012) or face some significant cuts in service and educational programs during the next couple of years. The administration is discussing the various options available with the Board's Finance Committee and the School Board. A comprehensive district financial plan will be developed to meet the current needs of the General Operating Fund, the Bond Retirement Fund, and the Permanent Improvement Fund.

Donna Ball, Principal at Raymond Elementary, was given a Proclamation by the Union Leadership Institute and the Union County Chamber on May 17, 2012, recognizing her contributions as an educational leader, principal and past member of the Union County Leadership Institute. The proclamation was presented to Mrs. Ball by Mr. Bob Whitman, Leadership Institute Director and former educator.
Mrs. Ball will be retiring from the District in June after 35 years in education and will be greatly missed by the staff, students and community of the Marysville School District. Congratulations Donna!

Marysville High School Sports and Entertainment Marketing students recently visited Huntington Park, home of the Columbus Clippers, to tour the park and hear from sports business professionals. At the ballpark, they listened to the Director of Marketing for the Clippers, Mark Galuska, on the latest advertising techniques being used in the sports business and different careers in the field. The presentation was followed with an insider's tour of the ballpark given by legendary baseball historian and Director of Media and Relations for the Clippers, Joe Santry. Students toured the Clipper's front office, telecommunications office, locker room and clubhouse, and the Clipper's home dugout. Students gained valuable knowledge about careers in sports marketing, and were entertained with stories and facts from Mr. Santry. Thanks Clippers!

Beginning eight years ago, MHS students have had the opportunity to earn a series of business certificates in addition to their high school diplomas. The certificates indicate that the student has committed him/herself to acquiring a strong foundation and have met academic standards in accounting, business management, and/or computer technology. This year, 28 students were awarded certificates. Five students actually earned two certificates each, which brought the total number to 33, the most ever!

Teachers in the Marysville District and in communities across the nation will be in the spotlight on National Teacher Day. Few other professionals touch as many people throughout their careers as teachers do.
National Teacher Day is a good time to learn about the contributions educators make to our community every day. We recognize that teachers are role models to students; which brings satisfaction but also brings responsibility. We all have to work together to make our schools even better and that means everyone in the community - parents, business owners, retirees, other workers, local government, and yes students. Public schools are at the heart of any community.
