Ron Bloss a Wellsville school board member and Jerry Henn superintendent discuss gains after his first year at the Wellsville High School meeting held at 602 Walnut Street. Henn says he learned a lot in his initial year leading the district.
Wellsville, 2012-2013 school year brought deep lessons for Jerry Henn, the Wellsville superintendent. In over 30 years in education he calls this year the most learning as he moved from hands on classroom work to broader administrative duties. He previously led Eudora Middle School, Paola, Ellinwood and taught math at several high schools.
Ottawa officials say the city pays more than its fair share in the joint Franklin County emergency communications center. The interlocal agreement of 1994 split 911 costs 50 50, but city leaders want to adjust the share to balance taxpayer burden, arguing Ottawa residents fund both city and county services while county residents fund only one side.
Ottawa city and Franklin County clash over emergency center funding amid interlocal ballot debate. County supports 50-50 then the city, while officials insist city residents shoulder higher costs. Commission approves amendments shifting to 52-48 split with Ottawa gradually reducing its share to 40 percent.
In his first year as superintendent Henn prioritizes Common Core goals and district mission with the Wellsville board. He helped shape the 2014 proposed budget and refine several policies while building classroom connections and using technology to engage students and staff. He learns from students via Twitter and iPad presentations.
Henn stressed the importance of time with his family alongside his career in education. He and wife Denise have three children Adam 23 Abbey 20 and Andrew 18. Denise is an occupational therapist, Adam a Ottawa University graduate, Abbey in college and Andrew a Paola High School senior.
Franklin County commissioners approve a $62.50 monthly service charge for the Centropolis sewer district, up from $47, citing lack of residential growth, near 10 percent delinquency, and no initial maintenance funding.
