State Superintendent Deb Delisle visited Lucas County ESC today; her first visit to an ESC, and she had the opportunity to visit the Collingwood Center which hosts the State Support Team for Region 1, as well as the Shuer Center... where Dr. Delisle traveled to the moon on our Challenger simulator. Lunch was served, and Superintendent Delisle was joined by the superintendents from our member districts, as well as the LCESC administrative staff and the board of the ESC. She spoke eloquently about the Race to the Top in education, and the big plans that the federal and state governments have in mind. She explained that Ohio was anticipating about 165 million in federal funds, but it looks as though we will be the recipients of somewhere between 200-400 million... good news.
In other news, we had our board meeting tonight at the ALCC, where we honored over fifty students from local districts, and it was announced that 94 students recently graduated from our GRE program. The ALCC will be host of their annual Thanksgiving dinner, prepared and served by the students on Wednesday, November 25th. I attended last year and it was a delicious meal complete with delightful company - the students did a great job.
The next regular board meeting is December 8th. The December date will be the last board meeting for Judy Hansen, who has served for twelve years, and opted not to run for re-election this year. The other two incumbants, Joseph Rutherford (current president) and Joan Kuchcinski, were re-elected. The remaining vacant seat will be filled by the board in January.
