**************
During January, the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) and school districts across Ohio recognized the work of school board members and their service to Ohio's students.
In recognition of this service, January 2012 was designated School Board Recognition Month. Ohio Governor John Kasich lent his support by proclaiming the month of January School Board recognition Month in our state.
While they wear many hats in the workday world, school board members put on a collective hat when they get down to the business of leading their team toward a common goal - helping students achieve. While they may individually disagree on certain issues, their role as a board is to consistently strive toward that goal.
Board members contribute hundreds of hours each year leading their districts. Whether crafting policies, hiring top-notch administrators, listening to staff and student concerns, or recognizing outstanding programs, board members always keep their eyes on the prize of student achievement.
New Miami School Board President, Randy Cook (below) recently announced his retirement from our Board after 26 years of service.
Thanks to our current Board members and a special thanks to Mr. Cook!

New Miami Local School District Mission Statement
MISSION
In partnership with our community, the mission of the New Miami
Local School District is:
· To have a challenging and relevant curriculum,
· To engage children as active participants in their learning,
· To instruct with research-based proven practice, and
· To create a caring, nurturing, and respectful environment that is
safe and disciplined,
so that all our children demonstrate a mastery of high academic skills.
BELIEFS
The major responsibilities of schools should be student learning and achievement.
All students deserve to attend schools that are based on mutual respect and that
provide an environment that is safe and disciplined.
All students can reach higher learning standards if afforded the opportunity to learn
based on their learning styles, given adequate time, and taught with best practice
strategies.
Families and communities need to be fully involved with schools and school
improvement efforts.
All students should be expected to meet high academic standards and graduate from
high school prepared for employment and/or further education.
