Thank you and sarcasm noted.
I've been in California all week on "bidness" and that travel there and back kicked my keister.
I just want to say to my fellow Buckeyes...we tend to think everything in California is bad...there's a lot of good out there. It's complicated in California.
I hate flying but I don't have the power of John Madden to charter a bus for travel everywhere.
I'll just say, no offense to my alma mater, but Tuslaw should have never happened.
Do you Orrville fans know Tuslaw used Orrville as its home stadium in the early 60s when the school district was first created?
I'll always have a soft spot for Orrville.
Anyways,
@Maxie knows a lot about how Tuscarawas Township slipped away from Massillon City Schools in 1958 and Canal Fulton could have had the Lawrence Township scoop of the Slaw but declined it on a 3-2 vote of the (then) Canal Fulton School Board in the 50's.
My gut feeling tells me no neighboring school district wanted the Bowdil rowdies. Most of The Slaw is pretty tame but Bowdil is another version of Rogue's Hollow.
Tuslaw is one example out of 612 Ohio school districts that probably shouldn't have happened and/or should be merged again.
It's the adults that are the hurdle with this.
The smart play is to merge administrations but keep the high schools and the sports teams.
I know Orrville and my beloved Rittman merged some admin and so did Fairless and TV. I know Fairless and TV merged their school treasurer and/or financial number cruncher positions.
I did a merged advanced math and calculus class with Northwest students back in my day during the summer, enjoyed it, and there should be more of it. No one from Tuslaw died taking a class with Northwest kids in the early 90s.
I took my SAT test at Northwest and scored a Super Genius score.....it didn't phase me.
