I am a poland resident and taxpayer who works in the private sector. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Zorn and will greatly miss him when he no longer serves the district. Dr. Zorn is an old school administrator who provides many services to the school that many in his position do not. He has upgraded out schools and programs through a variety of grants and other methods without cost to the taxpayers. Yes, we do have to approve renewal levies every so many years, but the cost has actually decreased as more families have moved to our village and township. Poland is a desirable location to live in because of our wonderful and successful schools. No,we have not built new buildings but our schools are renovated and properly maintained. While I do not believe we qualify for much state aid, Dr. Zorn has found ways to write for these grants and has strengthened out school district. I say "thank you" to Dr. Zorn for a job well done.
Unbelievable to hear. This issue should be dealt with by our leaders. Your unselfish service to our country and its citizens should be recognized and the promises made to you should be kept--NO EXCUSES.
I am 100 percent in favor of an old school approach. That also means that the teachers need backing from the administration as well as support from the parents. I stayed out of trouble when I went to school because I knew that if I got into trouble at school, I would get it twice as bad at home. When teachers do not have this support, the kids know they hold the power and the hard line methods fall short. Back then teachers didn't listen to their students. They taught and it was up to us to learn. If we didn't our parents helped, got us help or we failed. No excuses!
Native...From what I understand, having your child classified as special needs increases your monthly assistance payment. This is a desirable and profitable classification.
foxtrot...Thanks for clarifying your Canfield post. There are other reasons these residents are unhappy with the apartment proposal. This one, you might find amusing...One of the consultants involved in the apartment project was a major force involved with the Poland library addition. I read your post on this on the Poland township flooding woes thread. This is why the residents are concerned with the group's proposal and statements that current water problems in the area will not be increased.
foxtrot... I just read your post on the Canfield I.D. theft thread. It seems as if you have a concern with renters in your neighborhood/town, but these neighbors are "arrogant" for having similar concerns.

Correct me if I am wrong...Beachum's grandfather was on the Y-town school board. I do not believe his father was.

These children who don't listen at home, or to the police or other authority figures are going to do so in the classroom?
