Today is the crucial Ohio Primary giving the state’s voters a say in the run for the White House.  Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich need to score big to stop Donald Trump.  Hillary Clinton needs to stave off Bernie Sanders…At the state level, the nominations for the US Senate is up for grabs.  Democrat Ted Strickland or PG Sittenfeld will face Republican Rob Portman in November.  Ohio will also have a Supreme Court race among several local races.  The polls close at 7:30.

At last night’s school board meeting, Fostoria City Schools Superintendent Andrew Sprang addressed concerns about the district’s recent grades in the state’s report card.  Sprang said that “failing district” is not a good description of the district.  He noted 97% of students meeting the Third Grade Guarantee is up from last year and 25% of students were scoring in the Advanced Plus, Advanced and Accelerated categories.  Sprang did point out that the district is doing more than prepping students for a test and are getting them ready for life outside of school, too.

 
Ohio's average price for regular gas going into the workweek remains lower than a year ago but has climbed from this time last month.  The price per gallon in Ohio was about $1.93.  That's up about 37 cents from a month ago, but 31 cents less than the $2.24 average at this time last year…Gas prices that have been lower recently due to lower crude oil prices are likely to continue to climb as the refinery maintenance season begins and as some refineries cut production in response to abundant supplies.

Findlay City Schools appointed three new principals at last night’s school board meeting.  Janice Panuto will lead Glenwood Middle School, Kim Plesec will lead Jefferson Primary and Mike Scoles, Lincoln Elementary.  The board also named John Dell as the district’s new transportation coordinator.

In other Findlay City School news, the district will be working with the Family Resource Center’s “Wrap Around” program.  The program is aimed at students in kindergarten through third grade to help identify students with behavior problems proactively.  The Center works first with teachers and district staff to identify students who have trouble with the school setting.  Then a facilitator from the center can bring together the student’s parents, teachers, counselors and supporters to make a plan to help the child.
