Northwestern holds first design meeting
Northwestern Local Schools will hold its first design committee meeting Thursday, Jan. 21, to make decisions about elements of the two new buildings the district will be constructing.
The district’s architecture firm, SHP Leading Design, will guide the committee through the design process, which Superintendent Tony Orr has said will include all sectors of the staff and community.
The community approved Nov. 3 a combined bond issue and income tax. The 1 percent income tax will fund operations but the bond issue portion will pay the local share of 45 percent of the cost of building two new schools: one for kindergarten through sixth grade and a second for 7th through 12th grade.
The district has been accepting names of interested residents for the committees but there is still time to sign up by calling (937) 964-1318.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Thursday in the choir lecture room at Northwestern High School, according to the district.

FYI - The purpose of SHP Leading Design will be to gently tell residents what the state requirements are that your school must have and what you may not have even thought you want it. Like a “cafetorium” - that is a bad cafeteria and a bad auditorium rolled into one! But, that’s what the state mandates!! That’s OK because the modern schools look a lot like state prisons anyway…

Let’s give it a chance, ok? I have faith in Tony Orr to do what is right for the children of our community. He’ll need your support just as the entire project will. I agree with Jenn … Go Northwestern.
