Superintendent’s Report
Superintendent Winans discussed the Business Advisory Council with the Board of Education. Wayne Trace will be partnering with Western Buckeye Educational Service Center. The Western Buckeye Educational Service Center jointure will be partnering with a company out of Lima who will provide a curriculum for the program.
• Curriculum
• The Ohio Department of Education issued our annual District Report Card. The district scored reasonably well overall. I will plan to have a more detailed update for you at our meeting.
• Our District Leadership Team met recently to discuss our focus for professional development across the district this school year and into next. Plans are being made for the upcoming October 22 staff in-service. Thanks to Tim Manz for working to find presenters for this day which will meet the needs of the staff across the district.
• Personnel
• Items A, B, and C are approvals as we have had some changes in coaching positions. I will explain this to you further in our executive session.
• Our recommendations for several supplemental positions (consent items D, E, and F).
• Buildings and Grounds
• We have been informed that the track lining will take place soon. The crew is attempting to make certain the weather stays dry to allow them to finish and not run into any issues.
• The County Engineers office put the final touches on the drainage project on our property and across the road here at the junior/senior high. Final grading and seeding has been done which should finish up the project.
• Events
• Thank you to Mrs. Annette Sinn and the HS Student Council for organizing an excellent Homecoming week.
• I am recommending that we recognized a few of our fall athletes/coaches who have received outstanding rewards for their efforts (consent items G and H).
• I am also asking that you approve the overnight trips for both boys’ and girls’ golf which allowed them to participate in their practice round and then compete at the District match (consent item I).
• First grading period ends October 19.
• Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for the evening of October 31 and afternoon/evening of November 1. Students will not be in session October 31 or November 1 and 2.

• Mike, Brock and I are asking for your approval of the dates for the annual 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. (consent item J).
• Operations
• Enrollment: We currently have 993 students in grades PK-12. You may note that is a drop from last month. In checking with the junior/senior high where most of the movement has taken place we have seen 3 students move to online coursework outside our district, 3 students transfer to another district, 1 student transfer out of state, 1 student become home schooled, and 2 students drop out. Many of these moves are out of our control, but we will continue to follow up on students to make certain we are meeting their needs.
