Beavercreek picks finalists
Here’s some news from my friend Chris Magan in Greene County…..
Beavercreek has narrowed its search for superintendent to two Warren County administrators.
Mark North, superintendent of Lebanon City Schools, and Larry Hook,assistant superintendent in Springboro Community Schools, were picked as finalists from a pool of 11 applicants, said Richard Eckhardt, board president.
Middletown City Schools Superintendent Steve Price was also considered for the post.
Beavercreek hopes to make a decision by June 30.
Richard Eckhardt, school board president, said both candidates to replace Morrison have first-hand knowledge of the difficulties facing Ohio school districts. “I think they are both well qualified and carry a lot of experience,” Eckhardt said.
“They understand Ohio school funding and the challenges area schools face.”
Board members are expected to make an offer to their top choice in coming days and announce their decision after a contract is signed

Four-year land transfer case comes to an end
The Middletown Board of Education has decided to end its pursuit of a land transfer request.
The board has spent four years in a legal battle with Franklin City Schools over 1,600 acres of land just east of Interstate 75.
Middletown could have filed for a hearing before the Ohio Supreme Court, though the court has discretion over which cases it takes.
The transfer request was originally denied by the Ohio State Board of Education. The decision was upheld by the Franklin County Common Pleas Court and 10th District Court of Appeals.
