Hosted by the Boo Squad, the 10 Under 15 Awards recognize children under the age of 15 that are champions in their community or have a vision to make an impact in their community. There are two categories for the awards: The Community Champion Award which recognizes children who currently volunteer in their community and are making a difference; and The Visionary Award that recognizes children who have a vision of how they want to make a difference in their community. After having received applications from children spanning 4 counties (Mahoning, Columbiana, Portage and Trumbull), I can proudly report our district had two of the ten finalists!!! These students are Autumn Riemenschneider and Hannah Hindel. They will both be honored with the other finalists at the Boo Squad’s 10 Under 15 Event at The Embas- sy in Struthers on October 24, 2018. One winner from each category will be selected. The winner of The Community Champion Award will receive a monetary donation toward the cause of their choice. The Vi- sionary Award recipient’s vision will be the Boo Squad’s next mission, From left to right: Mrs. Ray, Autumn Riemenschneider, in which the winning child will get to be The Ambassador. We are so Hannah Hindel, and Mrs. Burrell proud of Autumn and Hannah and wish them the best of luck! Superintendent’s Message Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! The Rootstown Local School District staff is excited to again be working with the students, parents, and community and is committed to providing the Rootstown students with the best all-around education possible while being fiscally responsible as we follow our district’s mission statement: “Rootstown Schools, in collaboration with the community, will provide a quality education in a safe environment for students to become productive, life-long learners.” Andrew Hawkins Superintendent The Rootstown Local School District will be asking the community to approve a ballot initiative, Issue #9, on November 6th to address the district’s facilities. The proposal is to build one new building, which will house all students from pre- school to grade 12, on the school’s current site. The new school building will provide a safe 21st century, student-centered learning environ- ment that will be ADA compliant. The project will also include improvements to our athletic facilities. Furthermore, 42% of the project cost will be funded by the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission. For additional levy information, please visit the website www.yesforrtown.org. Thank you for your continued support of Rootstown Local Schools. If you have any questions regarding our school district, feel free to contact me. Go Rovers! ANDREW HAWKINS SUPERINTENDENT Page 2 News From the Treasurer’s Office My Property Value Went Up. What Does That Mean For The School Bond Levy? I remember sitting in an Ohio Treasurers’ Meeting on March 9, 2009, watching my phone as the stock market hit bottom, losing 54% of its value since October 2007. It was my son’s 18th birth- day, and I wondered how much worse the economy could get and how that would affect his future. During that professional meeting, Mike Sobul of the Ohio Dept. of Taxation estimated it would be the year 2018 before the real estate market began its full recovery. That seemed like a very long time to wait. My son would turn 27 before the market recovered. Here we are today, and homeowners have likely received new property valuation information from the Portage County Auditor. These property reappraisals take place every 6 years, with an up- date every 3 years. While residential values in Portage County are on the rise, some communities are still losing value. East Cleveland declined this year on average by 25%, meaning homeowners Connie Baldwin could remain underwater in their mortgages and struggle to sell their homes. As you see in the Treasurer chart, homeowners in Rootstown lost equity in their homes by more than 10% during the reces- sion. However, with continued growth in the economy and real estate sales around the county, home values are finally returning to pre-recession figures. Farm values are changing as well. With the recent passage of HB49, the upward pressure on agricultural property values reverses. The CAUV portion of Ag values is required by law to be reduced by 12% this year. So, what does all this mean for the upcoming Rootstown Schools bond issue? By law, the County Auditor will charge a millage rate that brings in enough taxes to make the bond payments. The millage rate is based upon the total annual bond payment due, and the total property value within the school district. The millage used on the ballot request is an estimate of the taxes needed, based upon tax values for 2017. The County Auditor estimated that a tax rate of 7.32 mills, which costs a homeowner of a $100,000 home $21.35 per month, would be sufficient to make the bond payments. An increase in tax values will allow the Auditor to lower the tax rate for the bonds, since the total value of property will have increased. The result is that homeowners will still pay the same dollar amount as estimated for the bond issue even though their home value may have increased. Because the annual bond payment is a fixed dollar amount, no additional funds will be collected beyond what has been voted on to pay the principal and interest on the loan. Here is an example: The district has tried to alleviate some of the burden on homeowners and seniors by asking for a 0.25% school district earned income tax to fund part of the school construction project. This tax only applies to wages earned and does not tax retirement income or pensions. Without the earned income tax, the bond levy would have needed to be much higher. In summary, the increase in home values, because of the reappraisal, will not increase taxes residents will pay for the bond issue. Since the bond tax rate was based upon the estimated bond payment amount, as property values increase, the tax rate will decrease. The table above pro- vides an example of the way the tax rate will adjust so taxpayers pay the same tax payment. If you have any questions or would like more detail, please do not hesitate to call my office at 330-325-9911. CONNIE BALDWIN TREASURER Assistant Superintendent’s Message Terri Hrina-Treharn - Assistant Superintendent, (330)325-2014 CHANGES in Graduation Requirements Earning a High School diploma for the Classes of 2019 and beyond will not look at the same. In addition to the course requirements, students must meet at least one of the three pathways below. 1. Ohio’s State Tests – Students must earn at least 18 points from taking seven end-of-course tests. For our students, these include: Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, English I, English II, American History, Ameri- can Government, and Biology. For each of these tests, students can earn up to five points. There are minimum requirements that exist in getting to a cumulative total of 18 points. Students must score a minimum of four points from the two math tests, four from the two English tests and six between the three science and social studies tests. These minimums only give them a total of 14 points. Therefore, students must earn an additional four points on any of the above listed tests. For example, they can score a total of five points on the math tests, seven points on the English tests and six between science and social studies in order to reach a grand total of 18 points. Terri Hrina-Treharn Assistant 2. Industry Credential and Workforce Readiness - Students choosing this pathway must earn a minimum of 12 points by Superintendent receiving a State Board of Education-approved, industry-recognized credential or group of credentials in a single career field and earn the required score on WorkKeys, a work-readiness test. The state of Ohio will pay one time for students to take the WorkKeys test. 3. College and Career Readiness Tests – Students on this path need to score a remediation-free score in mathematics and English on the ACT or SAT. For more information on the graduation requirements, please go to http://education.ohio.gov/ and search “graduation requirements.” In order to better explain these changes and answer questions parents may have, we will be holding a Graduation meeting for all parents who have students in the high school this year. We encourage all parents of high school students to attend as they begin taking these tests their fresh- man year. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 18th at 6:00 p.m. in the High School Cafeteria. Instagram We are now on Instagram! Follow us at “Rovers_District.” The goal is to post positive messages/quotes for students as well as pictures from around the district. Of course, if you are not already following us on Facebook (Rootstown Local Schools) and Twitter (@Rovers_District), please do so as well. Title I Programs According to Parents Right- to-Know (NCLB, 1111), you have the right as a parent to request information regarding the professional qualifica- tions of your child’s Title I teacher.

By Terri Hrina-Treharn Working with Wendy Jewell (Director of Student teach- ing and Field Experience) and Barb Baltrinic (Student Teaching Liaison) from the University of Akron over the past year, we were able to build a partnership with their teacher candidate program. Now entering into our second year and expanding to the high school, we are housing 22 teacher candidates this semester! Along with this come four liaisons assigned to our district to oversee the program and work with the teacher candidates. This partnership was sought out as the University of Akron utilizes a co-teaching teacher candidate model. This means the teacher candidate co-teaches with their cooperat- ing teacher from Rootstown versus the traditional model of gradually taking over the classroom. Both groups receive professional development on co-teaching and the many models it offers. This in turn helps students as there are now two teachers available in the classroom and allows for more individual time, small group work, stations, etc. We are very excited to have them and look forward to what the future holds as the numbers just keep growing… Superintendent’s Message Welcome to the 2015-16 school year! The Rootstown Local School District Staff is excited to again be working with the students, parents, and community and are committed to providing our students with the best all-around education possible while being fiscally responsible.

The first half of the 2019-20 school year was filled with numerous student achievements and growth both in the classroom and in extracurricular ac- tivities. The second half of the school year, I’m sure, will be filled with even more student achievements as well as students partaking in Ohio’s State Tests this spring. Congratulations to the Elementary School for being selected by the Ohio Department of Education as a Purple Andrew Hawkins Star designee, which is awarded to schools that exceed the criteria for serving military-connected students and Superintendent families!

This started as a small project involving one 4th grade class, and then grew to the entire grade level, district, and community members! Students, staff, and parents worked hard to collect shelter supplies, fabric to make tie blankets, and ingredients to make homemade dog treats. On December 20th, all four classrooms turned into blanket and treat making factories! At the end of the day, 120 tie blankets were made and over 500 treats were hand-rolled. Along with the blankets and treats, we collected 151 cans of cat food, 57 bags of dog treats, 24 bags of dog food, 31 paper towel rolls, 16 toilet paper rolls, 11 large bottles of bleach, 11 large bottles of laundry detergent, 6 boxes of latex gloves, 22 containers of disinfectant wipes, 5 boxes of trash bags, various chew toys, and a $250 donation from Thrivent Financial! Teachers, Alexis Gearhart, Cody Apthorpe, Christy Duvall, and Nicole Strope along with sever- al parent volunteers, worked extremely hard to make this project a success for the animals at Rose’s Rescue, Portage County Humane Society, Paws & Prayers, and One of a Kind Pets! We hope to see this project continue to grow each year, teaching kids the importance of kindness and empathy.
