Britton Deerfield Schools Chosen as Name of District

At the first meeting of the Britton Deerfield Schools Board of Education meeting Supt. Charles Pelham called the meeting to order Monday night, as no officers of the board had been elected at that point.

The special meeting had been convened to form the body that would govern the newly consolidated Britton Deerfield Schools, which had come into existence through the overwhelming consent of voters in the Aug. 3 ballot initiative, whereby the independent Britton-Macon Area Schools and the Deerfield Public Schools were consolidated.

At the beginning of the organizational meeting, the new district did not even have an official name.

Pelham opened the meeting with recognition of the historical significance of the night’s proceedings.

“Welcome to the first meeting of the Britton Deerfield Board of Education,” he said. “This is an historic event and we want to thank everyone who contributed to making it happen, including the members of both boards.”

LISD, Blissfield Community Schools to Share Business Manager

In an effort to save more than $40,000 a year, Blissfield Community Schools has adopted a plan to share its business manager, Dan Garno, with the Lenawee Intermediate School District.

The Blissfield Board of Education approved a collaborative deal, by a 6-0 vote, with the LISD at Monday night’s meeting. Trustee Vicky Lombard was absent.

The Advance was unable to obtain specific details of the agreement Monday night. After the board meeting, Garno said that he moving to the LISD to do much of that had been done by former LISD executive director for staff resources, Jim Philp. Philp was appointed as interim superintendent of the LISD after Steve Krusich retired.

Garno called the move a “pilot project” that would need to be closely monitored by the LISD and Blissfield Community Schools.
