FAIRFIELD — All five members of Monroe's Executive Committee would like to serve on a board of education if voters agree to create a new district March 7.
They were among seven who applied to the Butler County Educational Services Center (ESC) by Friday's deadline. The ESC has been asked by the Ohio Board of Education to forward its recommendations for board members. Under Ohio law, the state board would appoint five people to serve through Dec. 31, 2001.
The ESC governing board has called a special meeting for 8 p.m. today at the center, 6025 Dixie Highway, Suite 300, to discuss the applicants and possibly make its recommendations, said Dan Hare, ESC superintendent.
“This is sort of the second time they've done this,” Mr. Hare said Friday. “They went through a similar process when the Executive Committee was chosen (in November).”
Eighteen people applied to the search committee, headed by Monroe Mayor Elbert Tannreuther.
“There's a lot of work to be done,” said Suzi Rubin, spokeswoman for the Executive Committee. “I'd like to continue because I've done a lot of work in the past so I know what's going on.”
Candidates
These people have applied for a seat on the school board; the first five are executive committee members:
• Carol Brotherton, a member of the Middletown/Monroe Board of Education.
• Suzi Rubin, founding member and spokeswoman for the Committee on Reviewing Education.
• John F. Birch, adjunct professor at Miami University's Middletown campus.
• William R. “Rocky” Heflin, teacher at Verity Middle School and past principal at Lemon-Monroe High School.
• Jamie Pierce, software development manager for NCR Corp.
• Tim Birdwell, member of Monroe's transition team; manager, X-ray technician for General Electric Aircraft Engines.
• Steven Campbell, chairman of Monroe's Finance Committee; vice president for operations for ITO/Campbell Consulting.
