Statement from Powers:

"I would like to sincerely thank all of my supporters and those who voted for me, as well as those who voted to pass our levy.  I am truly humbled by the faith and trust that they have shown in me in two elections.  I am genuinely excited to start my second term particularly since our levy has passed. It will be wonderful to finally work under conditions when finances aren't a critical daily worry and we can turn our attention on continuing to concentrate on giving our students an excellent education and keeping our district one of the very best in Northeast Ohio."

Statement from Bonacci:

"I’d like to say thank you to everyone who supported me by voting for me and for the school levy. I’m looking forward to being a part of the Board that will continue to work towards excellence.  One of the perks of being involved with the high school Boosters was meeting so many students, parents and staff members.  I’m looking forward to being able to do that on a larger scale by visiting all of our buildings.  Of course, I’m excited about the passage of the school levy, but I clearly understand the importance of watching and controlling our expenses – we can do more with less."
