WBESC board OKs personnel actions

Western Buckeye ESC information

PAULDING — The Western Buckeye Educational Service Center Governing Board met Wednesday for its September meeting.

Superintendent Brian Gerber told the board state revenues for August were $39.5 million, or 2.3 percent below estimates, largely attributable to a timing issue with the non-auto sales tax, but added that the state is still slightly over estimates for the fiscal year to-date. Gerber also informed board members that Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine was reporting that his office was receiving complaints that schools are receiving phony invoices for books they never ordered.

Personnel action taken during the meeting included accepting the resignation of Allen County paraprofessional Tracy Hutchinson, and approving a one-year limited contract to Tonya Ramirez as an Allen County paraprofessional, effective September 15.

The board also approved a motion to give a one-year part-time contact to paraprofessional Shirley Etzler, effective September 15.

WBESC Treasurer Kim Jones and Assistant Treasurer Linda Clark also reviewed current financial reports, investments and monthly expenditures with the board.

The next regular meeting of the WBESC Governing Board will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday, October 15, at the Van Wert ESC office.
