Jamie Kosick reported that the school system, after attrition, would for 2026 “run short of drivers” for school buses. In early October, Rosie Linton, a fifth grade student at Mountaineer Elementary School, shared that “in the past two weeks, so the last 10 days of school Mountaineer Elementary has had a bus issue five of those days. So whether a bus did not run at all during the day or it was able to run in the morning and not in the afternoon.”

Alexander Local Schools' tax levy fails by hair-thin 21 votes

ALBANY, Ohio — Alexander Local School District’s proposed 0.75% tax levy failed by a slim 21-vote margin, according to unofficial election results from the Athens, Meigs and Vinton county boards of elections. The levy was meant to benefit the school district by addressing a $1.5 million budget shortfall , according to previous reporting by The Messenger. While the levy passed with Athens County voters, it failed in Vinton and Meigs counties. According to the election boards’ data, 2,428 voters rejected the levy and 2,407 voters approved it — a 21-vote margin. Now, the school district faces uncertainty. In October, Alexander Local School District Superintendent Will Hampton told The Messenger the district is in an unsustainable financial situation . “We’re at a point where we know we can’t sustain where we are,” Hampton said. “Without it [the levy], we have to make changes to try to try to save our district some money, save our community even more money.” With this failure at the polls, students and staff will likely see cuts in the near future to field trips, busing, clubs and athletic options, as well as increased fees for technology, athletics and clubs.

Southeastern ousts Federal Hocking in five sets, wins district crown

WELLSTON — Three sets into a Division VI district championship match, Southeastern was staring down the possibility of its season coming to an end. The Panthers had fallen into a 2-1 hole and were just one loss from elimination. But in that moment of desperation, head coach Brittany Lougheed found out just how gutsy her group could be. After forcing a fifth set with a decisive 10-point win in the fourth, Southeastern battled to extend its season with a 15-25, 25-20, 24-26, 25-15, 15-11 victory. “I think it says a lot about their character,” Lougheed said. “It would've been easy to get discouraged, hang their heads, and let (the first three sets) define the rest of the match, but they chose to fight for one another. That’s something I am very proud of. Today, they showed exactly what they're capable of when they believe in each other and refuse to quit.” HS VOLLEYBALL: Zane Trace looks dominant in district title sweep of Portsmouth West The Panthers (19-6) looked antsy in the first set, allowing the moment to get the better of them. And to make matters worse, after dropping the first, they dug a 7-0 hole in the second. But
