HEBRON - Lakewood Local School District officials came away disappointed yet again Tuesday night, when a bond issue to build a new elementary school came up short for a fifth consecutive time at the ballot box. This is disappointing, but I m most disappointed for our students and staff, superintendent Dr. Mark Gleichauf said. A lot of people put a lot work and sweat into the bond issue. This is where we are, Lakewood Board of Education president Brittany Misner said. I m disappointed, but I was confident we developed a good plan for our community. Unfortunately, we could not provide our students and teachers with what they deserve.

NEWARK - COVID-19 has had a major effect on the 2020-21 school year, for students, educators and parents alike.
The pandemic has forced an adaptive learning environment, which has created challenges. But teachers have risen up and still positively impacted their students, sometimes in ways they don t even realize.
For the 22nd consecutive year, the Coughlin Automotive Group has decided to honor some of those teachers with its You Made A Difference awards. To date, Coughlin has provided over $140,000 for the awards program, which honors a teacher in each of Licking County s 10 public school districts, plus C-TEC, Licking County Educational Service Center and Newark Catholic.
