To all Darke County
Folks who care about their schools
The following three tables consist of facts derived directly from
reports generated by school districts in Darke County as required by
the Ohio Board of Education, the Ohio Board of Education Annual School
evaluation report or the School Facilities Eligibility Ranking List.
The purpose of presenting these three tables is to give each eligible
voter an opportunity to look at relevant information about the schools
in Darke County. As you can see, Bradford School District is included
because it is physically in Darke County. The Ohio Board of Education
considers it to still be in Miami County and is still tracked as
such... Read More

To the Republican
Voters of Greenville –
On May 3 those of us who vote Republican will be choosing the candidate
who will not only likely be the Mayor of Greenville, but will also be
the Republican Party’s candidate for Mayor.
One candidate has contributed to the party and actively participated in
party activities on a routine basis. When asked to help, he has been
there and was always willing to take on whatever job was asked of him.
He has contributed funds to party activities and attended party events
on a regular basis... Read More

Space Shuttle
Commentary
Hi there,
Thanks for your informative web site.
I've quite enjoyed the articles on your site as they pertain to the
soon-to-be-relocated space shuttles and have refrained from saying
anything. However, today's piece, "Commentary: Brown had no help
from Obama aides on shuttle effort" on your web page was amazing beyond
belief. How sad it is that a senator or anyone would think the
POTUS's aides would help in any way with NASA's decision. Given
what's going on with the debt/economy, the POTUS... Read More

Versailles School
District Citizens
This is the third in a series of articles to inform you of the serious
financial condition of our school district. A new contract Master
Agreement is being negotiated between the Versailles Education
Association and the Versailles Board of Education for the period of
July 1 2011 - June 30, 2014. The state has finalized how they will
increase/decrease funding for all school districts in Ohio. The
funding will be based on a formula that divides the total
property values in a district by the total number of students in that
district. The good news is state funding for our district will increase
by $295,675 (5.2%) in fiscal... Read More

has ever seen. Please join us in supporting the Ohio Liberty
Council in their efforts to promote the Ohio Health Care Freedom
Amendment... Read More

Letter to the Bloggers:
In fulfilling a campaign promise that I made to make your County
Commissioners more accessible, I will be at Smith’s Coffeehouse in
Arcanum on Saturday, May 7th 2011, from 8 until 10 a.m. I will be
answering your questions about the County or any other topics that
affect your lives. I firmly believe that better communication
between elected officials and the people makes for much better
government. Government belongs to the people, not those who
govern. This is your chance to ask questions and to find out what
we are doing in the Commissioners office that affects you.
Smith’s Coffeehouse is located at 109 West George Street in downtown
Arcanum. I look forward to seeing you there!
Mike Stegall- County Commissioner

Proposed 28th
Amendment
No one has been able to explain why young men and women serve in the
U.S.
Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only
get
50% of their pay while politicians hold their political positions in the
safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and
receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not
make
any sense.
On Monday, FOX news learned that the staffers of Congress family
members are
exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national
attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this
to the
below, just where will all of it stop? ... Read More

Educate Versailles
Members express their Concerns
Editor:
RE: Versailles Board of Education (BOE) Meeting of 3-15-11
Several Educate Versailles members presented questions, made comments
and noted responses. These are noted below.
*Has the BOE run any financial projections relative to the impact of SB
5 (Senate Bill 5) and state funding reductions? The Boards
response was NO.
*Does the Board intend to attempt to complete a new "Master Agreement"
prior to SB 5 being signed into law? This question was related to a
3-12-11 article published in the Dayton Daily News entitled, "Teachers
rush for contracts before SB 5 becomes law"... Read More
