Jurkovic vows to invest in community Ready to embrace Holmes County as home, Jurkovic and his wife, Kim, talked enthusiastically about moving to the school district and said they are already scouting property. "To invest in the community, you've got to live in the community," Jurkovic said, acknowledging the decision to leave New Philadelphia was difficult. "Some of the (high school) kids are taking it a little bit hard," he said. While some of his colleagues were disappointed at his leaving, they also were happy for his new path. Jurkovic, who also has logged experience as an elementary and special education teacher and a middle school principal, met with members of the media following the school board meeting at Nashville Elementary, and after greeting residents who attended the public meeting.
