The StaRS public records system was launched in 2019 in an effort to further promote more open and transparent government operations. The ratings acknowledge the accomplishments of those public entities meeting Ohio's public record and open meeting laws, and those exceeding the legal standards by implementing a number of identified best practices.

Kings Treasurer, Cary Furniss said, "This recognition demonstrates our commitment to good governance and transparency. It also acknowledges our efforts in showing accountability through the implementation of the Ohio Online Checkbook and the live streaming of Board meetings."

At this week's Kings Board of Education Meeting, Kings Superintendent, Tim Ackermann reviewed the results with the BOE.

The results show that parents and the community are nearly split in their decision between 2-tier and 2.5 tier transportation, while the Kings staff prefer the 2.5 tier over 2-tier 64.1%-35.9%.

The Board will take some time to review all of the results and will discuss more at the April Work Session on Tuesday, April 13.

To hear Mr. Ackermann's report and view the presentation, and to make yourself familiar with all of the financial stability discussions that have been taking place with the Board of Education, visit the Financial Stability page on our website.

The 4th-grade students at Kings Mills Elementary have been working with KME Music teacher, Matt Jenkins on music reading skills. After learning a short piece of music by singing using do-re-mi syllables, the students learn the letter names of the notes on the treble staff and then sing the piece using those letters. 

Pictured are Mrs. Jane Weed's 4th graders in the culminating activity of the lesson where while playing xylophones and glockenspiel, they transfer what they have learned to read and sing to a performance on their instruments.
