Edgewood schools tap Slone as new treasurer of district

TRENTON — Ryan Slone, Lebanon schools' interim treasurer, was named treasurer of Edgewood schools Monday and began work Tuesday.
His appointment comes after a seven-week search following Edgewood's firing of Treasurer C.G. Uebel on Nov. 15 and affirmation of the decision last week.
“He's now ours,” Edgewood board member Sharon Anderson said after the board's vote to hire Mr. Slone. “I really think he's going to be a blessing to the district. He is very knowledgeable and precise. He never forgets to dot an "i' or cross a "t.'”
Mr. Slone, 34, has served as Lebanon's interim treasurer for four months, since former Treasurer Steven Hinshaw resigned to accept a position with the West Carrollton schools.
Mr. Slone had been Lebanon's assistant treasurer since his May 1996, hiring. Before that he worked two years as an assistant Ohio auditor.
“The (Edgewood) board and superintendent have a pretty cohesive team. It's a growing district,” said Mr. Slone, who is a certified public accountant. “I'm looking forward to this great opportunity to move forward.”
Mr. Slone was given a two-year contract by the Edgewood board and will earn $63,000 annually. He holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from Wilmington College. The Lebanon resident is married and has three children.
Until the Lebanon board hires a treasurer, Mr. Slone will serve as a consultant, said Lebanon board member Katie Poitinger.
The Lebanon board will formally accept Mr. Slone's resig nation at its reorganizational meeting Monday and might hire a new treasurer that night, Mrs. Poitinger said.
"I'm very, very happy for Ryan,” Mrs. Poitinger said. “He's very competent.”
In last week's second vote to terminate Ms. Uebel's contract, the Edgewood board outlined 12 reasons she was fired in November, plus eight other problems discovered since then. All relate to performance, not missing money or illegal acts.
On Tuesday, meanwhile, Ms. Uebel and her attorney, C.J. Schmidt, worked out a settlement agreement with the board regarding her contract termination, Mr. Schmidt said.
Details of the agreement were not revealed because of a confidentiality clause, the attorney said.
