Medina officials move to adopt a nonpublic flag display rule for city property, limiting banners and flags to council authorized government speech. The measure follows Pride flag displays and cites Shurtleff v Boston, with a vote pending after committee review and potential ceremonial flag discussion.

Brunswick Schools seek May ballot for final bond vote
The Brunswick Board of Education approved a May bond issue after November failure to fund its master facilities plan. The measure would raise roughly 102 million locally, demolish current facilities at Towslee, Willetts and Brunswick High, build a new high school with a 1000 seat performing arts center, synthetic turf field, tennis courts and baseball field, relocate admin and maintenance sites, and upgrade traffic flows at Applewood and Kidder elementary schools. Governor DeWine’s HB 458 ends special elections unless fiscal emergency exists, preventing an August retry.
