During a recent government meeting, discussions highlighted the value of participation in the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) and its impact on local districts. One member emphasized the importance of the OSBA's annual meetings, noting that they provide valuable insights and advocacy for educational issues. While acknowledging the $4,000 cost associated with attending, the member expressed a desire to conduct further research before committing to the expense.

The meeting also featured a presentation on the graduation accomplishments of the class of 2024. Superintendent Rebecca shared data compiled from the high school counseling office, noting a trend of increasing numbers of students opting for direct employment after graduation rather than pursuing further education. This shift reflects a growing interest in gap year programs, such as one offered through Lourdes University, which allows students to gain practical experience through internships while living on campus.

Additionally, the superintendent reported a notable change in the colleges students are attending, with Bowling Green State University and Ohio State University emerging as the top choices this year, a shift from the usual preference for the University of Toledo. This change comes amid challenges faced by UT, particularly in terms of enrollment. More detailed information regarding graduation data and college choices will be made available on the district's website.
