The Marshall Beech Tree, an American beech that stood near Old Main, was already mature when Marshall Academy welcomed its first students in 1837.

Ohio school district suspends non-varsity sports after tax levy fails

Getting out to vote matters. That's a lesson an Ohio school district is learning in the wake of the 2026 midterm elections. According to the Columbus Dispatch — part of the USA TODAY Network — Pickerington Local Schools is suspending all non-varsity athletics and other extracurriculars. This comes after a 0.75% income tax levy proposal in Fairfield and Franklin counties failed, according to unofficial election results. The vote failed by just around 250 votes, which is less than 1% of all the votes cast. Superintendent Charles Smialek told parents in a letter that all athletic teams below the varsity level and other extracurricular activities have been suspended, effective on Wednesday, Nov. 4, while other activities — including musicals and theater — will continue through Dec. 31. Smialek told The Dispatch that "the district needed to protect academics in the classroom, and hard decisions needed to be made," and the move would be a "short-term proposition." According to The Dispatch, the district faces a $21 million deficit, based on the figures presented to the board. "We understand the value of extracurriculars, we understand the experiences they create. It's difficult," Smialek told The Dispatch. "These are among the harder decisions most of

Mid-East students pursue CDA credentials through signing day

Early Childhood Education seniors at Mid-East Career and Technology Centers have committed to completing Child Development Associate training during Ohio’s first statewide Health and Human Services Signing Day, creating a pathway to nationally recognized early childhood education credentials, according to a community announcement. The signing event took place in early October in Zanesville. Students who complete the Child Development Associate, or CDA, program will work toward credentials that can support career advancement in a variety of early childhood education settings. The CDA training program prepares students to work with children from birth through age 5 and helps them develop skills sought by employers in the early childhood field, according to the announcement. “We are extremely proud of our Early Childhood Education students for taking this important first step toward a very meaningful and rewarding career,” said Katie Lucas, the Early Childhood Education instructor. “We know that when given the opportunity to become early childhood educators, our students will impact the lives of many young children, playing a pivotal role in facilitating learning and development during the formative years.” Students enrolled in Mid-East’s CDA program complete 120 hours of child development education coursework across eight content areas.
