McDonald school loses treasurer
McDONALD — School district Treasurer Thomas Radabaugh, 48, has resigned to take a job in the private sector in the area effective Sept. 25.
Radabaugh has been treasurer in McDonald since February 1991. “It has been a great 181‚Ñ2 years here. It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to watch the kids’ performance both academically and athletically,” he said.
Radabaugh said that highlights of his years with McDonald were the renovation and remodeling of the high school and the construction of a new Roosevelt Elementary School on Seventh Street under an Ohio School Facilities Commission grant.
Radabaugh is a native of Alexandria, Va., and the McDonald job was his first as a school treasurer. He had been in property management and owned his own business when he lived in Virginia.
The board will post his job today.
The board gave first reading Monday to a revision to the board- policy manual after nine months of working on it.
The district manual was revised from a 20-year-old version based on a manual presented by the Ohio School Boards Association division of management for policy services.
Superintendent Michael Wasser said the revision is an update through the OSBA but includes no major policy changes.
Wasser said the manual must go through two readings and then will go into effect in September.
In back-to-school-related business, the board approved a free- and reduced-price lunch program for Roosevelt Elementary based on receiving federal funds to support the program.
The prices for regular school lunches are unchanged for the 2009-10 school year at $2 for lunch for grades one through six at Roosevelt Elementary. Extra milk will cost 30 cents.
Nickels Bakery, 420 N. State St., Girard, will provide bread products, and Dean Dairy Products, Sharpsville, Pa., will provide the milk.
Student fees for the year will remain the same as last year.
The board hired Dr. David Delliquadri as school physician at $1 a year, and Charles Mooney as an elementary school teacher.
