RIPLEY – The Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Board of Education could be asking voters for a levy in November, according to discussions at a recent RULH Board of education meeting last week. The district has taken in approximately $600,000 in cuts this year alone, as a result of a cut in state funding and a drop of enrollment. RULH Superintendent Pat Kimble said the district has cut to the point where additional cuts could be detrimental to the services offered to students, and that the district will need to address some serious financial problems if they want to avoid even more cuts in the future.
In addition to the cuts from Columbus, Kimble said RULH his having a hard time keeping up with the rising cost of building upkeep and transportation. It has been four years since the district last purchased a bus, Kimble said.
“That figure that we managed to trim from the general fund budget for next year is somewhere in the vicinity of $600,000,” Kimble said. “That helps to extend the life you have right now, so to speak, for a little bit of time, but it doesn’t address our long term problems.”

ABERDEEN – Aberdeen solicitor Tresa Gossett has officially resigned from the village of Aberdeen, effective immediately. Gossett submitted a brief letter to the village of Aberdeen earlier this week stating she had received corrections to her Ohio Public Employees Retirement System account from fiscal officer Nathan Pfeffer, and was resigning as solicitor effective immediately.
Gossett had clashed with Aberdeen Mayor Harry Foxworthy during the last Aberdeen Council meeting earlier this month, after council member Billie Eitel made accusations that Gossett had overstepped her authority as solicitor. Foxworthy had asked for Gossett’s “unconditional” resignation, something that Gossett was not prepared to give at that meeting.
