ACWCCC Board of Education Approves Two Levies for Fall Ballot

Voters in Ashland County and part of Holmes County will see a pair of levies on the fall ballot for the Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center.  The Career Center Board of Education voted Thursday (May 17) at its regular meeting to put renewals of a three-year, 1.0 mill operating levy and a five-year, 0.5 mill permanent improvement levy on the November ballot.
The operating levy helps pay for a significant part of the school's general operations while part of the money from the permanent improvement levy helps pay for several energy-saving equipment retrofits that were done over the last three or four years.  Both issues expire at the end of 2013.  November is the first opportunity to put them back on the ballot.

Superintendent Hosts Annual Student Advisory Committee

ACWHCC students had the superintendent's ear at the recent Student Advisory Committee luncheon with Supt. Mike McDaniel.  This yearly meeting gives students personalized access to the superintendent so that they may voice concerns, offer suggestions, and bring things they, the consumers, see as needing change directly to the person who can make a difference.  These discussions are taken seriously by the ACWHCC administration and have resulted in a number of changes since the committee was formed several years ago.
