Further Clarification for the purpose of transparency regarding Thursday's Special Board of Education Meeting.
The language that was included in the earlier public notification is simply copied and pasted from the Ohio Revised Code to both meet the requirement of public notification, but also to state what the Board will be doing in Executive Session.
Thursday's upcoming Special Board of Education meeting is for the purpose of accepting the revised letter of resignation from Treasurer Jackie Kremer. Following that action in open session the Board will go into Executive Session to conduct interviews with potential Interim Treasurer candidates. The language of the Ohio Revised Code is far more "all encompassing" than what will be taking place. Apologies for any confusion that may have caused..
Following the Executive Session is it possible that the Board may return to open session to select a candidate for the Interim Treasurer position. It is also possible that they may not select a candidate at that time.
This communication is to serve as public notice that the Versailles Board of Education intends to hold a Special Board of Education meeting on Thursday, December 21, 2023.
The meeting will take place at 5:30 PM at the Versailles Board of Education office, 459 S. Center Street, Versailles, Ohio 45380.
The purpose of the meeting is for the Board of Education to accept a revised letter of resignation in open session.
Following the Board's regular business, it will enter into an Executive Session where it will consider the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion or compensation of a public employee or official, or the investigation of charges or complaints against a public employee, official, licensee, or regulated individual, unless the employee, official, licensee, or regulated individual requests a public hearing by division (G)(1) of section 121.22 of the Revised Code.
At the conclusion of the Executive Session, it is expected that the Board will return to open session to take further action before the meeting concludes.
Thank you
On Saturday the Versailles High School Robotics Team traveled to Loveland to compete in a robotics competition. Of the four teams from Versailles, one of them was able to qualify for the final tournament. This team was led by Nathaniel Drees and Alex Westgerdes. We also had two teams set their highest Skills competition scores of the season. At a Robotics competition, each team gets six qualifying matches. In a qualifying match, each team gets randomly paired with another team. They take on another team of two robotics to see who can score the most points. Points are scored by being able to launch balls across the field and score them under a goal. After qualifying matches are done, teams are ranked for the final tournament. In the final tournament, the top 16 teams get to select partners for the tournament.
Robotics competitions also have Skill Challenges. Robots are driven and programmed to see how many points they can score on their own.

We would like to thank 1976 graduate David Layman and his family for their generous donation to put towards a new Trackman Golf Simulator for our boys and girls golf programs. His father, Robert, played an instrumental role in obtaining the first school sanctioned golf team in 1972. The new golf simulator will be installed in our new addition near the Stem & Robotics rooms.
