“It’s been a terrific experience here at Oregon-Davis,” stated Disney. “A lot of thought has gone into this with my family. I have two children that are in seventh grade and fourth grade and being a superintendent takes away a lot of the time as a father and as a husband. I’ve always had a dream of teaching at higher education and have decided to accept a professorship with Indiana University and be close to home and have more time to be family person and still stay within education.”
Superintendent Dr. Steve Disney said agriculture teacher Jacob Riley and his students have several activities planned for the week.
The Oregon-Davis School Board met in special session Monday night to install new board members. Superintendent Dr. Steve Disney said the two newly elected members, Kurt Hayes and Lee Nagai, were sworn into office and then the board reorganized for the year.
The Oregon-Davis Student Council is sponsoring a food drive through December 14. Student Council members Abby Gregory and Alivia Jensen are looking for your help.
“You can help our needy families by bringing in non-perishable food items, toiletries and coats,” said Abby Gregory.
“When you come to a ballgame or student event, bring a can of food,” encouraged Alivia Jensen.
The Oregon-Davis School Board entered into a fleet management agreement with Wiers International in Plymouth. Superintendent Dr. Steve Disney said he believes that the corporation will be able to reduce cost on the mechanical work on the school buses with this partnership.
“Wiers currently has a facility down in Lafayette and manages the entire fleet for the Lafayette School Corporation which is probably over one-hundred school buses,” said Dr. Disney. “This year, up in Plymouth, they are managing the Plymouth fleet and they are also looking at an expansion toward Indianapolis. We felt it was a great opportunity, a good partnership and a cost savings measure for us.”
The agreement was approved during this month’s school board meeting.
