- A brief but interesting piece here on the topic of extra- and co-curricular activities in Ohio.

(Northern Ohio Morning Journal, 11/8/15)
- In the transition time between one Academic Distress Commission and another, Youngstown City Schools’ administration is still working to the academic plan which has been in place for the last year or so. Some folks are confused as to just when that plan will – or even if it will – become null and void as the new ADC and district CEO are seated. Story developing, as they say. (Youngstown Vindicator, 11/9/15)
