New school dis­trict trea­surer Joyce Dupont was wel­comed to her first board meet­ing Mon­day night by Todd Warner, new pres­i­dent of the Clyde-Green Springs Exemtped Vil­lage Board of Education.

Dupont,who comes to the dis­trict from South Cen­tral High School, will offi­cially take over her duties on Feb. 6.

“We are happy to have Joyce on board,” stated Warner. “She comes to us in high regard,” he added.

“I look for­ward to work­ing with and meet­ing every­one,” Dupont said. “I have an open door pol­icy and encour­age peo­ple to stop in and see me.”

The board then heard from build­ing admin­is­tra­tors on reports on the first semes­ter. Clyde High School Prin­ci­pal Joe Webb gave a pos­i­tive report on the high school.

“Our stu­dents and staff did a great job dur­ing our first semes­ter,” he said.

Webb reported that 13 stu­dents from CHS were selected to par­tic­i­pate in the 2012 OMEO Dis­trict II Hon­ors Band, Choir and Orches­tra Festival.

CHS stu­dents Sara Smith played the cello in the orches­tra, while Madi­son Aldrich played the flute in the dis­trict band, he reported.

“Out of 22 par­tic­i­pat­ing schools in the Hon­ors Choir, Clyde had the most stu­dents accepted into the choir from any one school with 11,” said Webb. Stu­dents Megan Shell, Clara Sewell, Michaela McCowan, Leah Marty, Savan­nah Green, Rachel Peters, Josh Marty, Mathew Ger­ber, Jesse Gon­za­lez, Zach Dorr and Ryan Sher­man were the stu­dents accepted to sing.

Prin­ci­pal Jon Detwiler then gave an update on McPher­son Mid­dle School and reported that two of the building’s teach­ers had received the Ohio Lottery’s Teacher of the Month Honor. “Ryan Carter won the award in Decem­ber, and most recently Bill Young won the honor for January,”said Detwiler.

“I also believe Heidi Mar­shall won the Lottery’s Stu­dent of the Month Honor as well,” stated Super­in­ten­dent Gregg Elchert.

Clyde Ele­men­tary Prin­ci­pal Peggy Stick­ney also reported about a new inter­ven­tion pro­gram her teach­ers have cre­ated to aid students.

“My building’s teach­ers rec­og­nized a need and have devel­oped a pro­gram that puts stu­dents of the same learn­ing curve together two or three days a week to help in the learn­ing process,” said Stickney.

On Mon­day, the board also took action on sev­eral per­son­nel issues before head­ing into exec­u­tive ses­sion on a per­son­nel mat­ter. No action was taken after that ses­sion with the next board meet­ing to be held on Mon­day, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m.
