LISBON — It has been 10 years since the Beaver Local School District moved into the K-12 building and the district is doing what it can to make sure the building remains in good shape in the coming years.

District Superintendent Eric Lowe told the board of education at the most recent meeting that several preventive maintenance items are scheduled for the future to ensure that the building and grounds are in terrific condition.

“This will be the completion of the tenth school year here at the new school,” he noted.

Prior to the construction of the new campus on Bell School Road students attended classes in five separate buildings.

The district is also looking forward to the opening of its new athletic facility this year.

The Derek Wolfe Fieldhouse is located next to the football stadium.

The board also approved several people as volunteers, and Kathryn Davis, Janice Palmer, Alvin Palmer, Paula Roberts, and Lauren Christian as substitutes.

Resignations were also approved for Anthony Meyer, elementary health and wellness teacher; Matthew Kidd, middle school teacher; and Amy Hulse, bus driver.

A certified limited three-year contract was also approved for Alyssa Osborne.

The board also approved the retirement of Dr. William Young, effective May 31.
