Maumee schools continues deliberations on budget cuts

Maumee schools has until late January to figure out a new financial plan after its proposed tax levy was voted down, the district announced. “I want our staff, families, and community to understand that the reduction we are preparing to recommend will be significant. They will impact staffing, programs, and services across our district,” Maumee Superintendent Steven Lee said during a board of education work session Monday. “These are not minor adjustments or efficiencies that can be made without consequences,” he continued. “They represent difficult decisions that will change aspects of the educational experience we are currently able to offer our students.” Since the levy was rejected by voters on Election Day by a vote of 3,823 to 3,570, Mr. Lee said he has been in talks with district treasurer Paul Brotzki and assistant superintendent Scott Perrotte, in addition to all school principals and supervisors, to try to clarify what potential cuts will be and what the implications of those cuts would be. The levy would have instituted a 1.25 percent earned-income tax to help fund the district’s operating costs. The levy was expected to bring in $5.8 million annually.

Nonprofit seeks donations to fill Christmas baskets for the needy

Oregon Health and Welfare is seeking donations of toys, food, and money to fill holiday baskets for families in need. “We start taking donations in November,” said Yvonne Thoma-Patton, chairman of the program. The annual Christmas basket tradition started in the 1960s. The baskets serve low-income, underprivileged, or distressed residents living in Oregon, Jerusalem Township, Harbor View, and the Lucas County portion of Curtice. “It all started when some of the staff in the Oregon City Schools district — teachers and principals — noticed there were kids who were going to go home for the holidays with very little to nothing. They started taking up collections and doing food baskets for 20 households, with high school students actually delivering them in their own vehicles,” Ms. Thoma-Patton said. “Nonperishable goods are collected in the schools. Some will focus on cereal and other breakfast items, while others will donate canned goods,” Ms. Thoma-Patton said. Financial donations are typically used to purchase fresh, perishable items, such as meat and dairy products. “Everyone gets a chicken, ground beef, and pork sausage. For some people who might not eat meat, we don’t have to include it in their baskets,” Ms. Thoma-Patton said. Toys can be

Veterans’ offices at universities support opportunity, build community

Christopher Ogle once worried about juggling school and military service. Between two deployments and a stretch of COVID-19 relief missions with the Ohio Army National Guard, his coursework at Bowling Green State University was interrupted again and again. So he sought advice from the school’s veterans office. “Constantly moving back and forth between college and service was not the easiest thing in the world, but the office made it way easier on my part as a student,” Mr. Ogle said. “I didn’t have to worry about anything, and I can come right back and kind of pick up where I was whenever I was available.” Now, having earned his bachelor’s degree in forensic biology and a master of business administration, Mr. Ogle has decided to join the office as a military program coordinator, serving the community that welcomed him years prior. “It’s kind of nice having this small, connected, but kind of random group of students who just have something that they all have in common that they don’t have in common with the rest of the campus,” he said. “I’ve made a lot of great friends here.” Barbara Henry, assistant vice president of non-traditional and military student services at
