Having held its 2023 reorganizational meeting the week earlier, the Ada Schools Board of Education met on January 19 to hear and review reports from the treasurer, principals and superintendent. (Attached agenda HERE.)
In attendance were school staff members, the Kenton Times and Ada Icon. All board members, listed here, were in attendance: Ronald Fleming; Matt Gossman; Ted Griffith, Steve Ramey and Amy Mullins. The meeting was conducted by Mr. Gossman, who is the new board president.
Following a 15-minute closed door executive session to discuss employment and compensation, the board heard administrative reports.
A third Neighborhood Revitalization meeting was held on January 14 to further develop a grant application that could raise as much as $750,000 to improve certain areas of the village.
Discussion revolved around what projects are allowed and favored by the state and what areas of the village may be included in the application. Areas north of North Ave./State Route 81 and south of Lima Ave. cannot be part of the application.
Following this meeting, cost estimates will be generated for a variety of proposed projects. To allow time for this, the next meeting has been scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on March 18 at the Depot, 9 Central Ave.
