BYESVILLE - Do we want to build? That was the question set forth by Rolling Hills Local school board members and administrators at a recent presentation for a purposed K-12 building complex, along with administrative offices. There s an essence of urgency too, said Marv Wourms of Fanning Howey in Dublin, who is coordinating the proposed building project for the school district. There s a timeline.
That timeline includes a board of education deciding if it wants to move forward with the proposed project at its next meeting on March 11. Next, the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission should approve the master plan in April. In May, the commission will formally approved entire project. Then the more intense planning work starts.
Beverly Ann Bell, 67, passed away suddenly in her home on Sunday, February 28, 2021.
Beverly was born in Cumberland, Ohio as the third child to the late Robert and Eleanore Bell. She was raised on the family farm and learned discipline, loyalty, resilience and to enjoy the outdoors. One of her favorite views on the farm was atop “the hill” with a view so far-reaching that fireworks could be seen on the 4th of July from miles away. Beverly earned a bachelor’s from West Liberty State College (now West Liberty University) in 1975 and later earned a Master’s in Education from The University of Dayton. An athlete in college, she played field hockey, basketball, and volleyball and worked as a referee for multiple sports throughout southeastern Ohio and West Virginia. When a position opened at her alma mater of Rolling Hills Local School District it started a long and active career. A pioneer of the time, she helped establish more athletic programs for girls in the district. Bever
