MIDDLE POINT – The Lincolnview Board of Education heard from two groups during Tuesday’s regular meeting.
Matt Langdon, Lincolnview Girls and Boys Cross Country Coach, spoke about both team’s State experience.
This
year’s girls varsity team took the team to State for the second year in
a row, and six of the seven varsity girls are Academic All Ohio, noted
Langdon. The sixth girl is a freshman which means she does not qualify
to be Academic All Ohio, but she also has qualifying GPA.
“All of our girls are not only really good athletes, but they are really good in the classroom,” said Langdon.
For the sixth year in a row, the boys team went to state. Langdon said several of the boys were also Academic All Ohio.
“These
guys just had a great year for us,” said Langdon. “They had a great run
– the girls making it to the State meet for two consecutive years, and
this is actually the sixth year in a row for the boys team to make it,
and several of these boys have been part of that. They’ve all had really
good careers; we’re going to lose some good seniors in the classroom
and on the cross country course.”
The Board motioned to commend and praise the Girls and Boys State Cross Country teams, coaches, and bus driver.
Another
group of presenters, led by sixth-grade teacher Chad Kraner, were three
sixth graders who spoke about the recent sixth grade trip to Washington
D.C. The students spoke on the monuments and locations they visited and
presented a PowerPoint featuring photos of the trip.
During his
report, Superintendent Jeff Snyder thanked the community for the recent
passage of the PI Levy which he noted will aid in increasing school
security. He notified the Board that he has been in talks with the
School Resource Officer about school upgrades including enhanced window
attachments, more secure door latches and more.
Snyder also
explained to the Board that with Crestview’s recent gift of the Vancrest
of Convoy building there is a possibility that Lincolnview will need to
consider what to do with their preschool program which is housed with
Crestview’s program at Thomas Edison. If Crestview chooses to create an
Early Childhood Center out of the Vancrest building, Lincolnview will
need to discuss if they will continue to use the Thomas Edison building
or if they would like to consider moving the preschool unit to the
Lincolnview location, which may require a building addition.
“We have some future discussion to have, but that will be predicated on what Crestview’s final decision is,” said Snyder.
