Avon schools superintendent will run the district’s recreation and human resources departments.
The school board has found a new recreation director — one that also will run the school district's human resources department. The board voted Monday to hire Jim Reitenbach, who has been the Avon schools superintendent since 1999. Reitenbach resigned from Avon schools in December. Reitenbach will lead the district’s shaken-up recreation department, as well as its human resources department. The recreation director's post opened after the board did not renew long-time Director Erin Fach's contract's earlier this year. The human resources job is open because Director Deb Cahoon is retiring this year. Reitenbach will begin his new post on Aug. 1 at a salary of $113,000. Reitenbach has been superintendent in Avon since 1999. He retired in …

Fach's contract not renewed; Callahan resigns
Lakewood City School officials confirmed two high-ranking members of Lakewood’s recreation department have either resigned or didn’t have a contract renewed in the last few weeks.

Callahan vacated his post on April 13th and a replacement has not been chosen, according to Christine Gordillo, communications and public relations specialist for Lakewood City Schools. Bright said he could not comment further on …

Only two people have signed up following last week's launch of the program and school board president Matt Markling, among others, aired their frustrations regarding the dismal start during Monday's regular Board of Education meeting.
After being given the green light from the Board of Education last month, the Lakewood Rec’s pilot indoor basketball program has received far less interest than originally anticipated. Lakewood Recreation commissioner Erin Fach had hoped that anywhere from 80 to 200 adults and students would join the program, but one week after its launch, only two people have signed up. And since the program only runs through August 11, residents and board president Matt Markling aired frustrations and wanted answers at Monday’s regular school board meeting at Grant Elementary. “I, outside of one communication I received, have not seen publicized anywhere, I mean, any information about the open gym,” Lakewood recreation coach Stephanie Toole said. “I …

School board opens gyms of city's schools for the sport; more than 100 people attend city council meeting to support hoops.
Nothin’ but net. After weeks of discussion, planning and development, Lakewood Recreation Department commissioner Erin Fach received unanimous approval from the Board of Education at Monday’s regular meeting to move forward with a pilot indoor basketball program. Despite some early apprehensions from board members — such as security concerns and injury liability — the board OK'd the program relatively quickly. Although it hasn't begun yet, the schools' program hasn’t undergone the same sort of scrutiny and contention, when compared with the outdoor pilot basketball program at Kaufmann Park. All games will take place on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evenings. They will be supervised, students and adults will play within preset age groups (…

I am in complete agreement with you on this. Actually not much that the school board has done lately passes the smell test. If I am not mistaken, all of the top people for the school system will be double dippers. Funny that when the possibility of Mr Berdine double dipping came up it was a huge problem but suddenly that problem has disappeared. The other question, for me is, has the HR Director'… more ›
