Tech Mobile is putting on a STEM Career Event at Eastern High School on October 29th. We have 7 major business partners right here from the area who will be present working with students directly connecting STEM learning and the modern work force. This will be for students grades 9-12, and each grade will have a selected period that morning (2-5) to rotate through business partner stations and learn about excellent employment opportunities. We are grateful their Tech Mobile, and all partners including AEP, DPC Fabrication, Washington State, Kraton, SCMF, Rio Grande Meigs Robotics/ Machining, and the University of Rio Grande. Its a great day to be an Eagle!
Understanding the Cost of the Eastern Local Facilities Levy
One of the questions that came up during our recent Levy Community Forum was how to calculate the personal cost if the levy passes.
To help explain this, Eastern Local Treasurer Mr. Rose has created a short video walking viewers step-by-step through the calculation process:

We’ve heard a wide range of numbers discussed in the community, but we want to make sure everyone has accurate information. Eastern Local has been very conservative with taxes—we haven’t asked for an increase in over 25 years—and we take this request seriously.
With the State of Ohio offering to fund 75% of our facilities renovation project, this levy would allow our community to secure the remaining 25%. We felt it was important to give our district this opportunity.
