State Supt. Zelman resigns
According to Local 12, Ohio schools Superintendent Susan Tave Zelman has announced she intends to resign she has held for the past nine years. Conflict arose in February when Gov. Ted Strickland proposed to seize control of the Ohio Department of Education and place it under an appointed education czar accountable to him. The move, if successful, would reduce Zelman and the 19 elected and appointed members of the State Board of Education to more advisory roles. Zelman said she will resign whenever a new superintendent starts and will work in advisory role until December.

Little Miami moving in new direction
At its meeting tonight, May 20, the Little Miami school board is expected to accept the resignation of Pat Dubbs, who was named the new superintendent of Wayne Local Schools last week. School officials have not yet said whether Dubbs will be replaced, or if his duties will could be divided among other department heads in a cost-cutting measure. District officials have said they stand to face some “financial challenges” in the near future, as the board approved the placement of an earned income tax on the November ballot. Wayne schools will face their own challenges as they try to get a 10-mil levy passed either in August or November.
