I was lucky enough to visit the governor’s residence and hear he and his cabinet speak about Appalachian development. I had the opportunity to speak with he, and Director John Carey about some goals we have for our district and some of the challenges we face with our infrastructure.
I also talked to Mrs. DeWine about early literacy and how important I thought it was to increase spending on preschool for all students in Ohio to help get them the start they need to be successful.
Finally I had a chance to discuss some ideas with Director Lydia Mihalik, and Lt. Governor Husted about ways to expand career tech options for our students.
There were several superintendents from the area in attendance as well as Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe, and a recent Eastern Grad there working in Jett Facemyer. It was exciting to see Meigs County and Eastern Schools represented at this event and working to help the community.
