In November 2006, Ohioans passed the Smoke-Free Workplace Act, making Ohio the 12th state to protect all workers and the public from exposure to secondhand smoke in public places. Approximately 280,000 Ohio worksites are impacted by this law.
To be in compliance with this law, workplaces must prohibit smoking, remove ashtrays and post no-smoking signs with the toll-fee enforcement number (1-800-559-OHIO). Local health departments have the ability to enforce this law, but the process is complaint-driven and a call must be placed to the toll-free enforcement number to begin the process.

Elementary conferences will be student-led. Parents should bring their child with them so that the student, along with his or her teacher (s) can share information about this year’s progress. Parents had the opportunity to sign up for conference times at Open House in most cases. Reminders will be sent home.
Ada Elementary student, Samantha Crawford, recently sold the first 2013 Bulldog card to Dr. Suzanne Darmer, Superintendent of Ada Exempted Village Schools.
Samantha is a member of the 5th grade band and is learning to play the trumpet under the direction of Lori Wilson. The Bulldog card is a popular local discount program, which offers discounts to numerous area restaurants and merchants.
