South-Western board OKs coaching contracts
South-Western school board members on Nov. 4 unanimously approved supplemental contracts for 43
winter sports coaches.
Board members approved boys and girls basketball coaching positions for four of the five middle schools in the district and all four high schools. No coaches were approved for Pleasant View Middle.
The legislation included wrestling coaching positions for Finland Middle, as well as Franklin Heights, Grove City and Westland high schools.
It also included a drill team coach for Franklin Heights High, a swimming coach for Grove City High and gymnastics coaches for both Grove City and Westland high schools.
The board acted after a 7.9-mill operating levy was approved by voters Nov. 3.
"This is such a great day," said board member Mindy Garverick. "To unite the divisions the way that you (voters) have is just incredible."
Board member Amy Baker said district officials now "owe it to the community" to fulfill their promises made in July in a so-called contract with the community.
"And they will," added board president Cathy Johnson. "This board has promised that this levy will last four years."
Superintendent Bill Wise said the tenets of the contract involve improved communication, a minimum "effective" district report card rating from the Ohio Department of Education, increased operational efficiencies and stretching new levy dollars to 2013.
