Bertram hired by Northwest
Lebanon City Schools Treasurer Randy Bertram has been hired for the same position in the Northwest Local School district. Bertram sent a letter to the school board and to the media detailing his situation. It reads: I eagerly anticipate starting my new position as the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer for Northwest Local Schools on August 1, 2008. My family and I look forward to relocating to Cincinnati and becoming a part of the community. As long time resident’s of Waynesville, we feel connected to the area and we are pleased to be staying in southwest Ohio. As I leave Lebanon City School District I want to commend the Board, district staff and community for stepping up and helping this excellent school district overcome some of the most difficult financial times it has seen. I am proud to say that the district has been restored to financial stability and its’ integrity is once again strong and vibrant. With a slow economy and unsettled state funding, the community needs to understand that there are still challenges and needs that are upon the district. Continued work and commitment by the staff and community are of the utmost importance for Lebanon City School’s future. I wish all of you the very best and I will miss this wonderful community and staff. As the Treasurer for Northwest Local Schools I will work diligently with the Board of Education, district staff and the community to plan objectives and clearly reach goals while maintaining accurate and current financial data. I will strive for financial integrity for the district and community.

How does Viellette situation affect children?
With all eyes and ears on the news that Michel Veillette, charged with killing his family and setting their Mason home on fire, hanged himself early Tuesday in his cell at the Warren County jail, it begs the question of how to explain something like this to children. Veillette himself had four children, ages 8, 4 and 2-year-old twins. At the time of the their deaths, Pulse-Journal staff writer Denise Callahan, who has followed the case extensively, reported that grief counselors were sent to the Mason Heights Elementary School, where the Marguerite was a student. Jacob was in preschool at the Mason Early Childhood Center, where staff members carried on as usual. Two schools serving different ages handled the situations differently. How much do children understand about death and even murder? What is the appropriate response with children who are dealing with the death of a loved one or a friend?
