 The Stark County School district announced two district donations and two student scholarships at their regular board meeting Monday. The State Bank of Toulon has donated $3,000 to the Stark County School District for new banquet tables. “We think we can purchase about 45 of those new white lightweight tables in both six foot and eight foot,” said Superintendent Jerry Klooster. “That will be very nice to have for special events. We appreciate the State Bank of Toulon’s generous donation.” The second donation is a Baldwin baby grand piano for the Stark County music room from Principal Domico. The piano is about 75 years old and does need some minor repair work. It will be permanently placed in the high school music room. The Domico family has had the piano for about 20 years.

The Stark County school board directed Superintendant Jerry Klooster to contact their attorney to find out what the district needs to legally do before selling or giving the old Wyoming High School Building to the WyHi group. Committee member Rich StJohn was present to give an outline of the group’s proposal and to start contract negotiations for the building. “We believe we have a successful plan to both rehabilitate and sustain a community center for all of Stark County, using the Old Wyoming High School Building,” said Rich St. John.

Board divided over policy issues
Written by Amy Beaver

The Stark County School board had two mixed votes over policy issues during their regular board meeting this past Monday. Several student handbook changes were made and approved by a six to one vote, with Bob Groter the single nay vote. The discussion of changing the high school handbook language regarding extracurricular programs led to the split vote. The new policy states that, “in a case where conduct by a player or team participant is so egregious or insubordinate that in the determination of the head coach, that participant’s continued membership on the team or club would cause a debilitating effect on the program, the coach may immediately suspend or dismiss the participant from the team.”
