Welch, Editor & Publisher Emeritus MEMBER OHIO NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION National Newspaper Association ➧Continued from page 1 He also stated that 11 classrooms at Fort Meigs, Frank and Woodland are projected to each reach 29 students. Currently, total enrollment is 4,876 students– Fort Meigs, 554; Frank, 476; Toth, 553; Woodland, 628; junior high, 1,165; high school, 1,392, and preschool, 108. Frank Elementary Principal Brent Swartzmiller, who currently is looking at three classrooms of more than 25 students, explained that additional students add strain to the buildings. “Our teachers do remarkable things but getting that individualized attention is a growing challenge as the number of students climbs. Our main job is to make school relevant and the best way to do this is to know our students, know where they come from and how we can get them to a place where they can achieve their greatest potential,” he said. Mrs. Downs said she is not comfortable with the elementary class sizes. “Elementary students need individual attention,” stated the board member. “When my children attended Perrysburg schools 20 years ago, class sizes were never this high. I am concerned about the class sizes for my grandchildren who now attend.” One of the goals of the levy, if approved by voters, is to add teachers, she said. “We need to invest the money back into the classroom.” Scott Best, Fort Meigs principal, said at the elementary level with the passage of the levy, “we are counting on additional staff to alleviate larger class sizes. We have reworked the elementary master schedule this year with the hopes of providing more opportunity for individualized intervention, NATIONAL NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Perrysburg enrollment up challenges and enrichment.” Mrs. Downs again explained the cost to educate a student in Perrysburg since 2008 was decreased 13 percent–to $8,590. “That is $1,498 less than the state average, $2,335 less than the regional average, which is $10,925 per pupil and well below the cost of tuition at most private secondary schools,” she said. Perrysburg is a destination district for families relocating in the area, said Mr. Hosler. “It strengthens the community to have these families moving here. The downside is having to find the funds for the additional staff and the space to accommodate this growing need,” he added. “Since 2008, we have held expenditures to one half of 1 percent and have trimmed staff by 6 percent in response to the state’s $3.8 million reduction in our funding.” Perrysburg is continuing to grow, added the superintendent. “After making a presentation to the city’s planning commission and at the same meeting the commission considered a preliminary site plan request for a 450 home development off of Roachton Road. The development means more students over the next five years.” He also stated that families are enrolling on a daily basis, so today’s counts will certainly change in the next two weeks. Other Business In other business, the board: •Approved the following one-year contracts: Katherine Driscoll, junior high music teacher; Julie Jagodzinski, junior high intervention specialist and Bridgett Beeler, Title I math coach at Frank, Toth and Woodland schools. The next meeting of the board of education is Monday, August 20, at 5:30 p.m. in the Commodore Building. The meeting is open to the public.

Pictured with their winning shirts are, The League of Women Voters of the Perrysburg Area (LWVPA) is accepting nominations for the 2012 Virginia Secor Stranahan Citizenship Award. The award was established in 2002 to honor the contributions made to the community by Virginia “Diddy” Secor Stranahan. Although “Diddy” was surrounded by financial wellbeing, her family’s strong social and civic commitment became her passion. She continued her parents’ legacy of enlightened community service by responding vigorously to the challenges of each decade. There are few educational or social service agencies in northern Ohio which did not at some point benefit from her involvement. She was a charter member of the League of Women Voters, and was a wartime fundraiser. She also was a board member of Way Public Library. Today the 577 Foundation is her lasting gift to the Perrysburg community. The Foundation is situated on a 14-acre river front property which was established to encourage education and conservation. The buildings, some of which housed animals, were uniquely transformed into meeting places, a pottery barn and a used book center. The geodesic biodome was later developed to tie in with the Foundation's educational usage as it pertains to the environment. Nominees for the Virginia Secor Stranahan Citizenship Award may be male or fe- male and must be someone who has been active in the community and has made a significant impact on the Perrysburg area. This is not a posthumous award. front row: Kenzie Egbert, Chloe Matuga, Graesyn Pawlak, Maddie Nitschke.
