Coaching Changes Near Completion at Athens Facilities
The Ohio Department of Mental Health reports most staff at the former Nelsonville Children’s Center and Junction City Treatment Center have not faced major layoffs. Only 50 of 203 employed across both sites were laid off as closures moved programs to new facilities, with several staff reassigned or remaining for maintenance. Local committees to expand children’s mental health services are forming in 16 southeastern counties, led by David Hunter. A judge will decide if Athens High School teacher and coach Bill Whaley was hired properly, as the city system resumes classes and a substitute takes over the outdoor recreation class.
