- Big changes in the district became breaking news in Youngstown this morning. To wit: the district’s administration building is being emptied – with a number of departments already having relocated to vacant space within district school buildings without notice or fanfare – in order for that building to become the new home of Youngstown Early College High School. The stated reason for this change is that the popular (and successful methinks) YEC has no room to grow in its rented digs at Youngstown State. But unstated is that whatever cost the district has been incurring to rent space at YSU will go away or be greatly reduced by a move into a district-owned building AND administrators will be closer to the daily lives of their staff and students. Wow! Sounds like a great idea to me. Wonder what the objection(s) will be? In 3… 2... 1… (Youngstown Vindicator, 10/13/17)
