- Look to Clermont Students learn about Clermont's Unique Heritage
Clermont County is rich in the number of historical sites that can be visited, and Look to
Clermont students did just that with local historian, Rick Crawford, for their November class
meeting. Some of the things the students found most memorable about the tour were Clermont
County's active role in the underground railroad, that the future king of France taught school in
Neville, the spiritualist's church in Utopia, Indian torture stories, Rick's jokes, and haunted
Clermont County stories.
- Senior Leadership learn about Educational Issues
Goshen High School served as host to the Senior Leadership Program for Education Day planned
by class members, Phyllis Smith, Tom Cole, and Barb Lindower. The day began with a panel of
educators discussing how Clermont County Schools prepare students. We thank Tom Durbin,
Superintendent, Williamsburg Local School District, Kay Nau, Principal, Hill Intermediate
School, Bethel-Tate District and Matt Smallwood, Classroom Teacher, Goshen High School for
being on our panel. The second part of the morning brought together representatives of three
entities who work closely with educators to help to guide our youth into productive adulthood.
Those representatives were Ann Arbaugh, Deputy Director, Clermont County Children's
Protective Services, Doug Brothers, Director of Court Services, Clermont County Juvenile
Court, and JT Taylor, School Resource Officer, Goshen Township Police Department. The day
was extremely informative and class members were urged to become more active in supporting
our schools.
- LEAD Clermont explores Pay now or Pay later
The harsh reality of what can happen when a community doesn't provide a good education for
students was the focus of LEAD Clermont's Education Day. The average cost to educate a
student in public schools is $18.51 per day versus $58.00 per day to educate them in jail. Held
at Batavia High School and the County Jail, the day included discussion with Educational
Service Center representatives, Stan Laferty on accountability and community support, and
Glenn Alexander on school finance, with CNE and Batavia high school students on how students
are affected when a levy passes and when a levy fails, and with State Representative, Tom
Niehaus on school funding and barriers to making change. Thanks for class members Tami
Farmer, Michael Kinner, Greg Shivener and Randy Siler for planning and facilitating Education
Day and challenging their class to become more involved in the Educational Issues in Clermont
County.
