Wayne Local Schools has hired Patrick Dubbs as their next superintendent. Dubbs is currently the director of administrative services in Little Miami. Dubbs was a teacher and a principal before moving into the administrative role in 2004. Tom Isaacs, Wayne’s current superintendent, is moving to the Warren County Educational Service Center, where he will be groomed as the replacement for John Lazares, who is set to retire in 2009. Little Miami will now begin its own transitional period as it searches for Dubbs’ replacement.
What does all this mean for the districts involved? How will they be affected?

The Little Miami school board voted recently to place a 1 percent earned income tax on the November ballot. Click here to read what the district has already done to prepare for what the district calls “financial challenges” that lay ahead. Are there other ways the district could raise money or reduce spending? Or is this a viable alternative to property taxes?

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. I found some fun Mother’s Day “facts” on wikipedia.org, including some of the holidays ancestors:
• “Mothering Sunday” in the UK and Ireland is on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It was originally a time when Catholics were supposed to travel to attend Mass in their “Mother Church” (the regional cathedral) rather than in their local parish. By the Reformation, it had changed into an occasion for children to visit parents.
• “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” organized by Anna Jarvis’s mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis to improve sanitation and health in the area.
• The “Mother’s Day” anti-war observances founded by Julia Ward Howe in 1872.
What we now know as Mother’s Day orginated from the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother, Ann, who was active in Mother’s Day campaigns for peace and worker’s safety and health since the end of American Civil War.

Today, May 7, is National School Nurse Day. The National Association of School Nurses began the day of recognition in 1972 in an attempt to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting. This year’s theme is: “School Nurses in Action: Transforming School Communities.”
