@BlueSteel, if PA schools had "snow" days allowed in their schools, I am sure they would have had off those days too. Any day they miss for weather they have to make up, unlike Ohio. That is why they only have 2 hour delay days.
As I am sure my name will suggest, I have children in the schools district of Austintown and I have to say THANK YOU to Mr. Skok for stepping up and adding another set of eyes watching over our children, and THANK YOU for serving this country.
To The Gunny - you are a jerk and need to find something better to do instead of tearing down a man, father and fellow Marine.
Oh and his tri-county assessment is off, Poland, Canfield, Boardman, Springfield, Campbell, Lordstown don't off it and Youngstown is only adjacent as is South Range and they are only adjacent and only thru kindergarten. The difference is that Atown is the only one adjacent to Youngstown that DOES offer OE.
The only reason why they need to keep staffing numbers up is because of the number of open enrollment students. Check the meeting minutes, they hire new teachers every single year (or bring back the ones they claim to let go in April every year) in order to make up for the amount of students now coming into the schools. AMS is overcrowded because they built that school on the numbers of the kids in the district before there was open enrollment. The amount of traffic on the roads in the morning is ridiculous. Open enrollment needs to go. As does everyone on that Board but Porter and so does Colalucca.
Apparently not many of you actually follow the story and have read what happened that night, or you would not be defending those boys are calling it alleged. The girl was drugged. She had a drink on the way to a party and does not remember anything else from that day. She was intentionally lured out by friends of her ex boyfriend who wanted to get back at her. These boys took her to three different houses and parties and raped her over and over again while witnesses did nothing. And then as a final indecency, they urinated on her and left her in the front yard at the final party house they were at. People are outraged because the ex-boyfriend who set this all up is off the hook, as it looks as if there is a huge cover up attempt including intimidating the victim to not file charges in the beginning.
Great choice! It is nice to have someone bring a different perspective to the township government. And I have always wanted to see the multi-generational center idea brought forward - maybe Rev. Stauffer can be influential in bring a branch of the Y to Atown :)! And Camp Woodside provides much needed meals to kids that would otherwise not have nutritional meals without this program. Thank you for helping out with that community program!
Have ordered from there, some of the best cheese steaks around and the fries are awesome! Very friendly people. Haven't tried the gyros yet but after reading this we will. Good luck and I hope your business flourishes!
My thoughts exactly on Pritchard. Can't believe he has the audacity to even throw his hat in the ring. I like Andy Frost though. He did a lot for the Fire Dept. and not only kept them in the black but found grants to be able to purchase new equipment and a remodel for the fire house on Raccoon. My vote would go with him or Paventi.
Kids were going to school in the cold in Ohio for a long time

Mahoning Children Services faces money shortfall
Maybe there wouldn't be a shortfall if every single time there is an approved levy there are pay raises. Just saying.....

Naked man robbed of $15 and necklace
Exactly redneck...I was wondering where a naked man would have 15.00 and how hard up do you have to be to demand that 15.00 from where he stored it!
