mA Message from the Superintendent<br />

It’s hard to believe we are already well into the year <strong>2010</strong> and<br />

anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring. There are many exciting<br />

events and achievements to celebrate in our excellent school<br />

district.<br />

<strong>Mariemont</strong> High School is participating in the Battelle for Kids Ohio<br />

Value-Added High <strong>Schools</strong> initiative to improve college and career<br />

readiness. Of the 43 Ohio high schools involved in this program, our<br />

instructors in Chemistry, English 10 and Algebra II have been recognized<br />

as highly effective teaching teams. This designation puts them<br />

in the top 10 percent of teaching teams in the Ohio Value-Added<br />

High <strong>Schools</strong> program.<br />

We continue to focus on equipping our students with 21st Century<br />

Skills as we prepare all students to be competitive in our global<br />

economy. There are many exciting initiatives occurring in our<br />

district that allow our teachers to harness the power of technology<br />

to extend and enhance individualized learning activities for all<br />

students.<br />

Our fi ne arts and athletic departments have continued their focus<br />

on providing fabulous learning opportunities for our students while<br />

exciting and entertaining our school community. I would encourage<br />

everyone to attend a sporting event, concert, or art exhibit and<br />

experience the commitment to excellence that is the heart of our<br />

school district.<br />

The Board of Education adopted a comprehensive facilities master<br />

plan in the fall that will shape the future of our district facilities. The<br />

Board has chosen to implement this plan in a single phase to take<br />

advantage of federal stimulus programs, historically low interest<br />

rates, competitive construction prices, and the economy of scale that<br />

is realized from implementing the plan in a single phase. In addition,<br />

the Board has continued to demonstrate a commitment to wise fi scal<br />

management through the implementation of $1,800,000 in permanent<br />

budget reductions between May 2008 and May <strong>2010</strong>. The combination<br />

bond issue/operating levy scheduled for the May ballot represents<br />

the most cost effective option for dealing with aging and failing<br />

facilities and maintaining our excellent academic program. Information<br />

regarding the ballot issue and construction timeline may be found<br />

on the school website (www.mariemontschools.org)<br />

Our planning continues with bringing community members, staff<br />

and students together to help defi ne and design the new building<br />

spaces and to plan how to best transition students during construction.<br />

Working with a dedicated group of Fairfax residents, teachers,<br />

students and alumni, we will celebrate and honor Fairfax Elementary<br />

as it closes this June.<br />

We are in the midst of planning historic transitions and exciting longterm<br />

opportunities in the <strong>Mariemont</strong> <strong>Schools</strong>. We are committed to<br />

maintaining excellence in serving our students and our community. I<br />

welcome your comments and questions and encourage you to call or<br />

email at your convenience. Happy <strong>2010</strong> and Go Warriors!<br />

Paul W. Imhoff, Superintendent<br />

mA Message from the Board of Education<br />

<strong>2010</strong> will be an exciting and historic year for the <strong>Mariemont</strong> <strong>City</strong> School District. We are so grateful<br />

to all community and staff members who have joined in the important work of helping to planning<br />

the direction and solutions for our facilities needs. We encourage everyone to get involved.<br />

Call the board offi ce (272-7500) and volunteer your opinions, your time, your help.<br />

In order to implement a responsible solution to our facilities issues and in response to declining<br />

state funding, the Board voted to place a combined bond issue and operating levy on the May 4<br />

ballot. The plans for what comes next are underway, and we need your continuing assistance.<br />

Residents, parents, staff and facilities experts are currently detailing the specifi c building design<br />

and space plans, while another set of teams are planning for a smooth transition for all students<br />

– both out and back into their improved school buildings. This winter and spring, a special task<br />

force of Fairfax community members, alumni, staff and students will focus on properly celebrating<br />

the history of Fairfax Elementary as it closes its doors this June.<br />

We have also experienced transition on the Board of Education itself. Our deepest thanks to<br />

Kevin Grimmer for his leadership and dedication to the students of this district as his board term<br />

ended in December. We know his support and involvement in the district will continue for many<br />

years to come.<br />

The Board started <strong>2010</strong> by welcoming new member Bill Flynn who will be a tremendous asset in<br />

this position. Re-elected members Peggy Braun and Ken White returned for a new term of offi ce.<br />

Also, at the January meeting, Mr. White was elected to serve as president for <strong>2010</strong> with Dee<br />

Walter serving as vice president.<br />

Your Board of Education is passionate about meeting the current and future needs of our students<br />

and the goals of our communities. Our mission continues to be “preparing Scholars of Today to be<br />

the Leaders of Tomorrow”. We welcome your questions and concerns. Our contact information<br />

can be found on the back of this newsletter.<br />

Meet your<br />

newest BOE<br />

member<br />

Bill Flynn<br />

Bill Flynn is a Cincinnati native and has<br />

lived in Williams’ Meadow for 18 years<br />

with his wife Beth and their three<br />

children.<br />

He has served in many capacities<br />

throughout the <strong>Mariemont</strong> community<br />

and for the school district itself,<br />

including co-chairing the successful<br />

2007 operating levy campaign.<br />

Mr. Flynn has been a private practice<br />

attorney for nearly 25 years and is a<br />

member of the board of directors for<br />

the Cincinnati law fi rm of Strauss & Troy.<br />

m Financial Update<br />

We want every resident of the <strong>Mariemont</strong> <strong>City</strong> School district to<br />

be aware and informed of the necessity and of the impact of the<br />

school district’s upcoming fi nancing request. On February 11,<br />

the <strong>Mariemont</strong> Board of Education voted to place a combination<br />

Bond Issue and Operating Levy on the May 4, <strong>2010</strong> ballot.<br />

Bond Issue: To fi nance new construction and renovations to<br />

school facilities and sites, a 5.28 mill bond issue (collected at a<br />

net increase of 3.6 mills bond rate) repaid over 37 years. This<br />

would fi nance the entire $39,800,000 Board approved Facilities<br />

Master Plan. This issuance will allow the district to take advantage<br />

of historically low interest rates and construction costs and<br />

to attract lower bids with a multiple-site project.<br />

Operating Levy: To fi nance continued operating expenses of the<br />

district, a new continuing operating levy of 5.15 mills.<br />

Cost to Property Owner: These additional monies will be collected<br />

beginning in 2011, with an estimated annual cost of $268<br />

per $100,000 of auditor’s tax valuation for owner-occupied<br />

residential properties.<br />

In order to fi nance the same quality level of education programming<br />

for our students, the district has adopted a three-step<br />

overall plan:<br />

1- Have Reduced Budget by $1.8 million: From May 2008 – May<br />

<strong>2010</strong>, the district has cut a necessary $1.8 million from our annual<br />

budget in order to avoid falling into defi cit spending.<br />

2- Implement Facilities Master Plan: With the funds from the<br />

proposed Bond Issue, we will be able to implement the boardapproved<br />

Facilities Master Plan that will fully address our facilities<br />

issues while reducing our operating costs by an additional<br />

$1 million dollars.<br />

3- Replace Declining State Funding: As we have reiterated many times<br />

over the last several years, our state funding has continued to decline.<br />

This means that we (along with our peer public school districts) must<br />

seek additional monies from our taxpayers (operating levy) to continue<br />

to operate the district at our current level of instruction and programs for<br />

students.<br />

If the request for this combined bond issue/operating levy is unsuccessful,<br />

the district would be forced to reduce the annual operating budget<br />

by an additional $3 million or more over the next two school years to<br />

continue operations. The impact of these reductions would be signifi -<br />

cant district wide.<br />

For complete information on the combined fi nancing request, the Facilities<br />

Master Plan and budget reduction recommendations if the request<br />

is unsuccessful, please visit www.mariemontschools.org/facilities.<br />

LIfelong Learners - For professional development in 2009-<strong>2010</strong>, the K-6 focus remains on<br />

extending teachers’ knowledge of best practices for Language arts and Mathematics. Teachers have<br />

attended training in a program called Math Solutions, a course that presents practical and proven<br />

strategies for implementing standards-based instruction. In addition, Mrs. Linda Lee, Terrace Park<br />

principal, and a team of teachers are enrolled in a course entitled Lenses on Learning in which math<br />

instruction is studied by a team of teachers and an administrator.<br />

For training in the Language Arts, teachers have continued to enroll in the summer Literacy Institute<br />

held by the Lakota School District as well as specifi c reading and writing programs. Teachers will also<br />

attend a workshop presented by Lucy Calkins, a well known language arts expert. Special Education<br />

teachers have taken courses in Orton-Gillingham, DIBELS, and Math Solutions.<br />

During semester one, all K-6 content area teachers participated in eight hours of training with Battelle for Kids, focused on curriculum and assessment.<br />

During semester two, the teachers are working in teams to continue to implement what they learned in those sessions.<br />

For 2009-<strong>2010</strong>, Superintendent Imhoff established an elementary Curriculum Council. Teachers from all three buildings volunteered to serve as grade<br />

level leaders (similar to department heads at the high school) and act as liaisons between the administrators, the curriculum director, and the teachers.<br />

The primary focus for the CC members this year was to plan and implement new grade level projects that incorporated rigorous and relevant research<br />

and information technology skills. The new projects would also include college and career readiness skills that have been identifi ed for students to be<br />

successful in their future endeavors. Members of this year’s Curriculum Council are (as pictured): back: Lauren Wolterman (Spec Ed), Kevin Maness<br />

(1), Ann Muennich (6), Jim Counts (5); front: Mary Sexton (3), Linda Wiley (2), Mary Kay Kroeger (4) and Missy Fields (K).<br />

Reaching Out to Haiti -<br />

Across the area, people have been<br />

reaching out to help those impacted by<br />

the devastating earthquakes in Haiti.<br />

In our schools, students and teachers<br />

organized fundraising efforts - bags and<br />

bags of coins were deposited in jars<br />

by little hands. Combined with parent<br />

donations,the <strong>Mariemont</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Schools</strong><br />

community relief effort contributed<br />

$7,130.51 to the International Response<br />

Fund of the American Red Cross to help<br />

those in Haiti. Some student groups are<br />

continuing outreach efforts.<br />

The <strong>Mariemont</strong> Board of Education meets at<br />

7:00 p.m., the third<br />

Tuesday of each month at the<br />

<strong>Mariemont</strong> Junior High<br />
