We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the School District’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the School District’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the School District’s internal control over financial reporting. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. 2 Compliance And Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the School District’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the School District in a separate letter dated December 29, 2008. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the School District’s management, the Board of Education, others within the entity, the Ohio Auditor of State and federal awarding agencies and pass- through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties. Cincinnati, Ohio December 29, 2008 3 REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 To the Board of Education Talawanda School District: Compliance We have audited the compliance of the Talawanda School District (the “School District”) with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2008. The School District’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the School District’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the School District’s compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing

  • History Highlights
    History Highlights Oxford, Ohio 1810-2010 Native American tribes, including the Miami and Shawnee, traveled through the area until the Treaty of Greenville was signed in 1795. Chief Little Turtle Miami Tribe When the Ohio legislature chartered Miami University in 1809, it decided to locate the state’s second public university in a wooded township already designated in 1803 to support education. The Creek called ―Tallawanda‖ by Native Americans and named ―Four Mile‖ by General St. Clair’s Soldiers But first there had to be a town in which to place the new university! So Oxford was laid out in 1810—covering one Mile Square. Trees were cut, log homes were built, and Miami buildings were constructed in time for college classes to begin in 1824. With a resident population of over 700, the village was incorporated in 1830. Dormitories and Main Building at Miami Presumably named for the famous university town in England, Oxford began to attract other institutions of higher learning. The Oxford Theological Seminary was established in 1838 and remained in town until 1858. Northeast Corner of Church and Poplar Streets The Oxford Female Institute was chartered in 1849. South College Avenue The Western Female Seminary was chartered in 1853 and opened two years later. Modeled on Mt. Holyoke Seminary in Massachusetts, Western’s name was chosen because it was west of Mt. Holyoke . First Building Burned 1860 Second Building Burned 1871 Western’s third building, later named Peabody Hall, can still be seen on the east side of town. Rebuilt After Fire in 1871 The Oxford Female College was chartered in 1854, and the building was named Fisher Hall when it was a Miami dormitory in the 1900s.

The text presents a case study based on a middle school in southwestern Ohio. It opens with an overview of a typical day at the school and describes the local education community. The book discusses how the middle school's vision was created and how the school tapped into the TLC Project reform network. It outlines professional development at the school and the advancement of teacher and administrator leadership. The text details the structures for success that were implemented at the school, such as the school's governance structure, the principal's advisory committee, faculty meetings, the parent-teacher group, scheduling, technology for communication and instruction, and the dialogic decision-making process that made reform possible.
