Editorial: Quit passing the buck, TPS
A parent of a special needs child in Toledo Public Schools shouldn’t have to go to a Toledo school board meeting to complain about service. Instead of getting the attention to her child’s needs, Katie Mattimoe Heffernan was told that the teachers union and the school district’s human resources department are working to “expedite getting paraprofessionals in the needed position.” Read more Blade editorials The fact that the parent felt the need to take her concern to the full board suggests more emphasis is needed for the “expedite” part. Ms. Heffernan is concerned that her child at Beverly Elementary School, who has Down syndrome, is being ignored in the classroom. Ms. Heffernan was forced to reveal in public personal issues involving her daughter that she should not have been required to complain about to the board. This was reported last Wednesday by The Blade’s Eric Taunton. The problem, as Ms. Heffernan sees it, is that Beverly has only one assigned building-wide paraprofessional. This was her second time bringing this issue to the board. A similar response was given to her on Sept. 22. At that time, the board had 244 paraprofessionals, but 43 vacant positions. “To date, my daughter has

Saint Ignatius Takes First Step to Canton
OHIO CITY, OH - This past Friday, the Saint Ignatius Wildcats (6-5) were at Wasmer Field for the fourth and final time this season, as they took on the Berea-Midpark Titans (6-5) in the 8 vs. 9 matchup in round one of the OHSAA playoffs, with the winner set to face the St. Edward Eagles (9-1) in round two. Saint Ignatius was looking to carry the positive momentum from last week's 38-20 victory over Football North into Friday night's action, a game which snapped their three-game losing skid. Meanwhile, Berea-Midpark was looking to get back in the win column after suffering a tough 31-27 defeat to Avon Lake a week prior, a game in which they blew a 21-10 lead in the third quarter. After a 4-1 start and 4 straight wins, Berea-Midpark went 2-3 in their last five games, finishing the regular season 6-4 and 4-3 in conference play. This game was the first-ever meeting between Berea-Midpark and St. Ignatius, and it was also the first-ever football playoff game hosted at Wasmer Field.

EDON — In the first round of a Division VII, Region 26 matchup at Leanne Field between the home Edon Bombers and the visiting Jefferson Wildcats, the former was the team to take a dominant 41-14 win at home.

In the first quarter, Edon established dominance early on against Jefferson. After forcing the visiting team to punt, the Bombers took advantage and scored from eight yards out from the likes of starting quarterback Jaron Grove. A good PAT kick tallied the score to 7-0 in favor of the Bombers.
