Olentangy Schools will begin construction on a new middle school in June.
The school, which has not been named, will be the district’s sixth middle school. It will be built on 45 acres along Piatt Road, south of Olentangy Berlin High School, in Berlin Township.
“The addition of a sixth middle school to the district will provide the necessary relief needed on the growing enrollment in our current middle schools, particularly in the northeast region,” Superintendent Mark Raiff said in a release. “Middle school six will be the district’s third new building in the past five years, and I continue to be proud of the support of our students by our community.”
COLUMBUS – Republican Rep. Steve Stivers wants a say in who will replace him in Congress.
Stivers endorsement could be a valuable one, both financially and otherwise, for any GOP candidate hoping to win a crowded primary in Ohio s 15th congressional district this August. Stivers had nearly $2.4 million in his campaign coffers, which could help boost his chosen successor.
Six Republicans have already launched bids to replace Stivers, but with a May 17 deadline to enter the race, several more candidates could jump in:
Ruth Edmonds, former church relations director at the Center for Christian Virtue
Fairfield County commissioner Jeff Fix
State Sen. Stephanie Kunze of Hilliard
The legislation would apply for all vaccines, not just COVID-19.

Sixteen Ohio House Republicans, six of whom have publicly announced their declination to take a COVID-19 vaccine, proposed legislation Tuesday to build legal protections for people who decline vaccinations.
Under the bill, governments, schools and private businesses could still impose a vaccine requirement. However, the bill would force them to exempt anyone who submits in writing a claim of medical contraindication, “natural immunity,” or “reasons of conscience, including religious conviction.”
