HISTORICAL YEAR FOR LITTLE MIAMI SCHOOLS
The 2008-2009 school year marked a time of bittersweet transitions for Little Miami Local Schools.
"This school year was one of great successes and great challenges," said Superintendent Dan Bennett. "Our goal was to pursue academic excellence and effectively manage a record enrollment year while in the midst of an economic crisis."
Director of Educational Services Bill Sears worked with teachers in every grade level to improve the quality of instruction to ensure that all students are successful — work he believes will pay huge dividends for Little Miami on the state report card. Preliminary results from the Ohio Graduation Test indicate improved passage rates in each of the five content areas over last year's scores. Morrow Elementary School was also recognized for earning the new "Excellent with Distinction" rating for the 2007-2008 school year.
Other successes abounded.

LM IS "MAKING YOUR TAX DOLLARS COUNT"
State Auditor Mary Taylor presented Little Miami Local School District with the "Making Your Tax Dollars Count" award for the fiscal year 2007 audit. Fewer than five percent of all Ohio government agencies receive this award.
"I commend Little Miami Local Schools' commitment to careful spending. Congratulations for your hard work and for being a trustworthy guardian of taxpayer dollars," said Ms. Taylor. "The community should be proud of the district's commitment to making sure that each tax dollar is spent appropriately."
Certain criteria must be met to receive the "Making Your Tax Dollars Count" award. Standards include:
"This award reinforces that Little Miami strives to provide excellence with value," said Treasurer Shaun Bevan, who accepted the award. "The district is ranked in the top 25 percent of all schools academically, our spending is below the state average, and the State Auditor recognizes our hard work to vigilantly protect the community's investment in its schools."
The Ohio Auditor of State's Office works to ensure that all public funds are spent legally and appropriately and works aggressively to root out fraud, waste and abuse in public spending.
