Parking lot will see short-term fix with warmer temperatures
By: Kyle Stermer
NORTHRIDGE - If you drive or ride with someone to school, you have probably noticed that the parking lot is pretty much destroyed. There are large holes everywhere, speed bumps are getting torn apart, and there are many other cosmetic issues as drivers turf the grounds in an effort to avoid the worst of the potholes.
“The parking lot will be getting patched,” says Principal Amy Anderson. “There will be progress once it warms up.” She also adds that repaving it is not the plan, but it will be cold patched. Dave Liggett adds that the patching material is $10.50 a bag, or $100 for a ton, so it is much more economical to get the ton. However, the patching material is only a temporary solution; it only lasts for so long. Anderson adds that district officials have been investigating the idea of completely repaving the parking lot which is a long term solution. The problem, of course, is the cost.
In the meantime, the $25 parking pass fee per student driver goes into a fund that helps with smaller repair costs like painting lines and numbering spots.

Parking passes cause problems for student drivers
By: Hugh Prentice
NORTHRIDGE - Lately, there have been issues with the high school parking lot at Northridge that are making many students angry. The problem in the parking lot is that students that have passes or students that have recently received their driver’s license are parking in spaces that belong to other students. This is making many drivers angry, and they are asking for something to be done about the passes.
The passes can be bought in the office for a price of $25. The high school has approximately 130-140 parking spaces available for a given school year. That is why some students are angry that new drivers don’t just buy a parking pass for a yearlong parking space instead of taking up occupied spaces. Student Grant Prentice (‘15) said “I don’t know why people don’t just buy a pass; it’s just 25 bucks.” That is the mindset of many student drivers, but there are a few students that think that the student parking lot shouldn’t have to deal with passes. Student Kyle Stermer (‘16) says, “If there were no parking passes people could just park where they want with no fuss over whose is whose.”
Still, administrators say funds from the sale of parking passes now go for repairs to the parking lot.
The opinion over the parking passes is divided amongst the students, and with the school year coming to a close, parking lot policies may be reviewed for the coming year.

Auction with a side of dinner ...
By: Megan Dalton and Kim Garee
NORTHRIDGE - This past Saturday, April 12,2014, Northridge held its annual dinner auction. The auction is staffed by members of each sport and is held at the school. This year, the Athletic Boosters made more than $10,000 on the event.
Northridge Boosters Dinner Auction Chair Lori Hebert said that is "even more" than the auction garnered last year.
Sports teams sell tickets to the dinner auction for $15 for one and $25 for a couple. Then the night is kicked off by cheerleaders and football players serving food, which this year included the options of pork or chicken, potatoes, green beans, salad, a roll, and a drink. To top off the “dinner” part of the night, the people were offered a slice of cake.
After guests are done digesting their food, they walk around to the many prize tables or silent auction tables. The silent auction tables held prizes ranging from an icecream cake from Dairy Queen, to signed footballs, to gift certificates. Other prizes were to be bought for a set price, like Coach or Vera Bradley purses.
While guests waited to see if they won their silent auction prizes, they could also buy raffle tickets, $5 for 20 tickets, and place them in bags that represent smaller gifts. Each station was staffed by players of a certain sport.
The big auction was "called" like a real auction by auctioneer Mike Mooney, and guests who wanted to bid the stated price for the object could raise paddles. Popular items like four tickets to Disney World were battled for past $400.
Hebert said over 200 people attended the event this year. She said special thanks go the the sponsors and donors in the community who supported the auction, the parents and community members who came to bid on items, and the students who worked to make the event a success.
Northridge Boosters meet the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the media center.

Northridge Schools 0% operating levy on ballot in May
By: Lilly Chesser
NORTHRIDGE - On May 6 the Northridge Board of Education is placing a renewal operating levy on the ballot. The levy represents $2.1 million of a $12 million budget (which would be equivalent to 17.5 percent of the annual budget) and is said to cover day-to-day costs and operations. This money is necessary for maintaining "quality teachers, technology, textbooks, and utilities," says treasurer/CFO Britt Lewis. If passed, the levy will be collected for a period of five years.
Over the past two years, budgetary reductions of $4 million have been made, removing Northridge Schools from Fiscal Caution by the Ohio Department of Education. "This was a direct result of Northridge Local Schools working hard to live within our means." says Lewis. To keep the budget as lean as possible, the levy requested by the school board does not increase the tax rate or introduce new taxes to the district. Superintendent Dr. Chris Briggs emphasizes that this levy is only an extension of the current one, and does not present any additional costs throughout the period of collection.
Briggs believes the best way to get voter support is to inform. "People have every right to say no," he says, "but the facts are that this will not increase taxes and is necessary to maintain excellence at our schools. Everyone should know that." Briggs says that if the levy is not renewed, the school will not necessarily make cuts, but may not be able to sustain certain programs.
There have been several campaigns to spread information. A "key communicators group" of 10 parents from Croton, Alexandria, and Homer have been delegated to make meetings and otherwise get the facts out to the community. High school teachers like Government teacher Mr. Benjamin Snedeker have been adamant about encouraging 18 year old students to get registered to vote. Snedeker says that it is important to inform students that this will impact their lives and education and to let them know they have a voice in the situation.
"Pride in Northridge" days have also been set up to increase awareness and benefit the community. On Saturday, April 12, town "spring clean-ups" will take place from 9:00-10:00 a.m. at the Homer fire station, 10:00-11:00 a.m. at the Croton Town Square, and 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at the Alexandria Library. Briggs stresses the most effective way to help is "showing up to events, being positive, and doing your job the best you can."

Scheduling Time: NHS to offer new classes for the 2014-15 school year
By Savannah Legg
NORTHRIDGE - Northridge High School is adding new classes for the 2015 school year. Starting next week, each class (with the exception of seniors) is turning in a list of desired classes for next year. New classes are being offered to students such as a Statistics class, a grammar class, and an intro to personal finance course.
One of the new classes being offered is a grammar class being taught by Ms. Murphy, who normally teaches sophomore English. Murphy says that “I like to teach students grammar so that they can express their thoughts and ideas better in their essays." The class will be offered as an English elective but elective credit, and will be offered as a semester class.
Statistics and Financial Algebra is a new mathematics course being offered by math teacher Mr. Smith. The class will be an algebra class that deals with finance in the real world. One of the projects will be asking students to start an insurance company, in which they must figure out who to insure. Smith says he “thought about starting the class for many years now and when asked to teach another class, or an elective, it was the first one I thought about.” The class will be planning on being another option for students who don’t want to take Algebra II.
While scheduling classes, Laura Brockway, guidance counselor at Northridge, who is in charge of most of the scheduling, encourages students to “get their schedules containing the classes they want in early, because most classes are first come, first serve.”

New evaluation process means more testing for students
By: Mat Scott
NORTHRIDGE – As of this school year, Ohio has introduced the new Ohio Teacher Evaluation System, which will evaluate teachers on their performance through observations and student test scores.
This is the first year that the new system has been put in place. At the start of the year, students were required to sit through pre-assessments, which were supposed to determine students’ prior knowledge in the subject. At the end of the year are post-assessments, which are to determine students’ growth in the subject. The scores will not only be for the students, but will also have an effect on teachers. The growth percentage of students is supposed to reflect on teachers’ effectiveness in the classroom.
The PARCC tests are also being instituted to replace the Ohio Graduation Tests. These tests are currently being planned in the subjects of English and mathematics, with Northridge serving as a pilot school this year. “These tests hold English and math teachers to a higher standard than teacher-created, individual subject tests,” says English teacher Mrs. Kim Garee. “I don't know what the state plans to do about the equitability issue there when it comes to measuring teacher performance. There are still some unknowns. ”
Megan Hatfield (’15), who took the math tests, says “[the PARCC tests] are ridiculously hard. It’s not that I haven’t learned the material, it’s just that the tests are extremely complicated. One mess-up in an early step can result in the entire problem being incorrect.”
Several students suffered additional stress in the weeks before spring break. Lilly Chesser (’15) said that she experienced extreme stress during the post-assessments, because students were required to take the exams in addition to regular classes on testing days. “It was extremely taxing,” says Chesser. “I know of at least one other person who had a mental breakdown during testing.” Teachers are also feeling the stress of additional testing. “It’s more stressful for students and teachers alike,” says art teacher Mr. Andrew Kirtland, “because we have to make and grade the tests that students take.”
Teachers are also being observed in the classroom during class time. Principal Ms. Amy Anderson has been seen sitting in the back of a classroom during regular class periods observing the teachers (and occasionally catching students misbehaving) to gauge their teaching habits. These observations are tied into a rubric which the teachers will see before their evaluation. There is a conference following the observations which will address what the teachers did correctly and what they need to work on. Teachers who are up for contract renewals will have three formal evaluations, in addition to spontaneous walk-throughs.

Board awards “Raising ‘Ridge" honor to staff members
By; Aili Barbee
NORTHRIDGE - Six Northridge staff members were awarded the “Raising ‘Ridge Award” at the March 17 board meeting for their outstanding ability to better the school.
Superintendent Dr. Chris Briggs stated that this award was established this year to “acknowledge teachers and other staff members that go above and beyond for our school district and students.”
One recipient of the award was Deb Peterman who is a Title 1 reading teacher, and tutors students free of charge all school year. Also awarded was Carey Maierle, an Intervention Specialist. “He always wants to better develop himself as a teacher,” commented Dr. Vallery from the department of teaching and learning, as she handed plaques and various gifts to the awardees. Fourth grade science and social studies teacher Jill McLaughlin was presented with the “Raising ‘Ridge” award as well. “I want my students to take responsibility for their learning,” said McLaughlin. The “Raising ‘Ridge” award was also presented to Seventh grade history teacher Elizabeth Muhlinkamp. Vallery quoted other middle staff who shared with her that Muhlinkamp’s “enthusiasm for teaching is contagious.” Eleventh grade English teacher Kim Garee was bestowed the “Raising ‘Ridge” award because, according to her peers, she is “the type of teacher who knows kids learn best when information is presented in a fun way.” The final staff member who was given the “Raising ‘Ridge” award was custodial supervisor David Liggett. Briggs praised Liggett’s work commenting that he “is always there to help the students and staff. He treats this school like it is his own home.”
The board also discussed possible ways to make-up the district’s two excessive calamity days that were used this winter. One potential solution mentioned was to extend the school day for an extra 30-minutes every day for three weeks. Another possible fix was to introduce “blizzard-bags” into the classrooms. These “blizzard-bags” would contain work from each class that pertained to current lesson plans. The students would then take this work home to finish, and if it wasn’t completed in two weeks to the teachers’ liking, the student would be marked absent for the two days. However, after the board meeting, Briggs announced that in order to make-up the two calamity days the district will continue to be in session until June 3, rather than the original end of school year date, May 30. Graduation will still be held on June 1.
Board member Chris Pokorny praised the high school musical, Seussical, and its cast members during the meeting. “The musical this past weekend was great,” said Pokorny. “I would like to commend them on an excellent job. It was as near to flawless as you can get for a high school musical.”
Board president Doug Hart received an email from an audience member of the musical. Hart quoted the email, stating that the audience member, who had a granddaughter in the musical, thought that Seussical was “a pleasure to watch.” The sender of the email professed to have a master’s degree in the arts. He commented that he “was expecting to have to sit through an amateur performance, but it was fantastic. I was amazed by the professionalism in such young students.”
“A common complaint of the musical was its microphone issues that it had throughout the weekend,” said Pokorny. Treasurer Britt Lewis said he is moving forward to get a team to look at getting a new sound system for both the high school auditeria and the high school gymnasium. “This would hopefully prevent any future microphone issues,” said Lewis. Another improvement coming to the school is new band equipment. “The band has not had new instruments in 25 years; I’m sure they need it,” Lewis said.
In other business, the board unanimously approved the contract renewals of high school principal, Amy Anderson, food service supervisor, Debra Sue Garrabrant, and custodial supervisor, David Liggett.
The board will meet again in regular session on Tuesday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the media center.
