KEY ACTION The Green Local Schools Board of Education hired a treasurer, Erin VanMeter, and also approved Geoffrey Zimmerly as the new Green Middle School/ Smithville High School sixth-12th grade assistant principal.
KEY DISCUSSION The assistant middle school/high school assistant principal position, in which Zimmerly will assist Jenniver Shutt, middle school principal and athletic director, and high school Principal Andy Bratcher, was made possible by a previous administrative switch - Amanda Framstad becoming part-time curriculum director and Lindsey Welch also becoming part-time. Welch had served as director of curriculum and special education and will now take on the sole role of special education.

Do you plan to get the vaccine? Yes, Beun said. It s personal and part of protecting myself, he said. It s also another step toward everyone being protected so the spread isn t as much. It keeps people safe and we can take those next steps to a new normal.
West Holmes Local Schools
Who will be administering the vaccines? Holmes County General Health District.
What will the day look like? Employees will show up to the West Holmes High School gymnasium during their scheduled time slot. The health department has said it can vaccinate about 18 people in 15-minute increments, Superintendent John Thomas said. School nurse Tom Eastep scheduled staff based on what category they fall into; essentially, older staff members and those with compromising health conditions will be prioritized.
Organizational and regular meeting Monday
KEY ACTION Randy Brillhart will continue as president of the board. Brent Steiner is the new vice president.
KEY DISCUSSION COVID-19 planning continues as staff fills out a surveys requested by the Wayne County Health Department concerning whether they will get the vaccine when their turn comes up in the 1B phase of inoculations scheduled to begin Jan. 19.
So far, 56 Green Local Schools staff have submitted their intention to be vaccinated.
Health Department personnel will administer the shots at the school, said Superintendent Dean Frank, calling the number of yeses so far a pretty good response. It is not required, he said, adding, the vaccination phase for staff is expected to take place in early February.
Monday meeting
KEY DISCUSSION In January the board will evaluate the status of the athletic fund and other student activity funds to see how they are faring as a result of working around the COVID-19 virus.
Treasurer Barbara Markland said she has noticed other districts have found it necessary to supplement the athletic fund because of lower admission rates and ticket sales, in addition to canceled games, but similar operating expenses.
Revenue expectations are different for fall, winter and spring sports, Superintendent Dean Frank said, telling the board he and Markland would document projected figures for athletic and other funds, “see how much they re down,” and make a report to the board next month.
