Ohio Hi-Point?s Board of Education had a special visit from Ohio Senator Keith Faber and Representative Robert Sprague during a regular scheduled meeting Wednesday evening at the Sloan Inn.
Senator Faber, who is on the November 6 ballot, spoke to the board about the topic that has been on the forefront of Ohio and national government: jobs and job creation. Faber directly tied career-technical education and Ohio Hi-Point into the future outlook for employment within the communities.
Senator Faber spoke about strong partnerships between business, industry and CTE as a ?value added opportunity to provide our constituents the pathways for success,? focusing on business leaders providing an industry forecast for career-technical education to deliver the training and skills to students to be prepared for awaiting careers.
Ohio Hi-Point continually works with business and industry leaders to pinpoint needs and emerging trends. These relationships lead to the cultivation and launch of a new Welding program at OHP after industry leaders expressed a need for welders and skill sets that align with the profession. The program will be available to students beginning Fall of 2013.
Before Senator Faber concluded, he spoke about his revolving loan program to help education and the continued prominence technology has within classroom walls.
?A successful school system helps to build the community stronger,? remarked Faber, ?I encourage community members to support their schools and to look at the policies and send us suggestions and comments on the recent education policies.?
Representative Sprague, who has a background in finance and business, focused his comments on the financial aspect of the educational budget and will speak more to Ohio Hi-Point?s 14 partner superintendents during the biannual Superintendent?s meeting on October 30 at Ohio Hi-Point. Representative Sprague is also on the November 6 ballot.

During the board meeting, the high school seniors of the month Kiana Price, a Culinary Arts student from Waynesfield-Goshen High School, and Colton Lowe, an Electronics Engineering student from Bellefontaine High School, were recognized.
