ear South Range Community,
Happy New Year!
I’m sure you’ve noticed that the days are shorter, and winds are now often very
brisk. Darkness meets us earlier each evening and the days have less sunshine
this time of year. As we wind down from the holiday season and prepare to turn
the page to a New Year, the school year is just gearing up for an exciting 2015!
In the blink of an eye, the days will become a little longer and the sun will provide some welcome warmth during the winter months.
school districts from ensuring a specific number of days that programs must
operate to a specific number of hours of operation, and eliminated calamity days.
The South Range School District is not under the requirements of House Bill
59 for the 2014/2015 school year. The school calendar adopted in February of
2014 provides for five (5) calamity days and also has provisions for make-up
days in excess of the statutorily provided and approved calamity days. The make
-up days have been added to the end of the school year in the event we exceed the
five days as outlined on the board adopted calendar.
The start of a new calendar year brings with it many reflections, resolutions and a
sense of new beginnings. The 2014/2015 school year has been positive and productive academically, and our students have excelled in and out of the K-12
complex. I am very grateful for so many things, especially for the dedicated
efforts of our staff, parents and volunteers who continue to go above and beyond
to realize extraordinary progress for our students. Our staff and students work
hard each and every day to reach their individual and school wide goals. I want to
assure you that our diligent work continues into the new calendar year.
The area of school finance, operating levies, fund raising by our school /student
club organizations and capital fund raising continues to be the topic of conversation regardless of the calendar year. School finance is complicated and has a
tendency to be confusing to those that get bits and pieces of information. Please
note that Mr. Phillips, our Treasurer/CFO, has included in this newsletter his
January edition of “The Bottom Line.” Mr. Phillips is willing to provide a very
comprehensive discussion regarding school finance with anyone desiring more
information.
With the start of the New Year, several new initiatives and changes will occur to
ultimately benefit our students and community. A district advisory/
communications committee will be organized and will meet prior to each monthly board meeting. Six advisory committees have been established and will meet
bi-annually. The advisory committees will be comprised of school board members, parents, employees and community members. The purpose and/or function
of each committee is to provide accurate communications between the school and
community, and to raise awareness regarding pertinent issues within each committee’s focus area. The six advisory committees are: School Finance, Academics, Performing Arts, Athletics, Community/School Support Organizations, Employee/Community Relations. Each advisory committee will meet on a rotating
basis prior to each monthly board meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the K-12 complex. A
schedule of committee meetings will be released at the January board meeting.
Please contact the board of education office if you have any interest in serving on
any of the aforementioned committees.
Discussions regarding a May operating levy and capital fund raising for future
projects will continue to be discussed as we enter into the calendar year and will
be communicated to community members at board meetings and in future newsletter publications.
Another change will be in the area of technology. January 5 th is the release date
for the newly renovated South Range website. The new site will be easier to
navigate and will provide links to important information regarding the district.
Please visit www.southrange.org as we go live with the new site on the 5th. The
current Raiders Radar (aka Drund) site that is used for internal communications
for parents will continue to be used as another tool for communication.
The 2014/2015 school year brought change for some school districts in terms of
complying with the minimum hours of instruction instead of a minimum number
of school days each year. House Bill 59 shifted the operational requirements for
I would also like to invite parents and community members to the “State of the
Schools” presentation on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the K
-12 Complex Auditorium. The intent of the presentation is to comprehensively
highlight the school district’s K-12 academic and support programs. Building
Principals, Director of Special Education and Curriculum, Director of Technology, Treasurer/CFO and Superintendent will all present on the current state of the
school district. You are encouraged to attend this informational presentation of
our school district. As always, please feel free to call, email or stop by the board
office so that we may provide clarity to any of the initiatives discussed.
I hope that the holiday season was special and enjoyable for all, and it is my hope
that 2015 will be a productive and positive year for our school and Raiders everywhere!
Happy New Year!

The Bottom Line______________________________________________by Jim Phillips, Treasurer/CFO
LEVY - WHAT WOULD THE MONEY BE USED FOR?
Regarding the Board’s request for additional local school funding, a few fellow Raider citizens have asked me
“what would the money be used for?”
Boiling the answer down to a simple “soundbite” is difficult to answer in brief because the money would be used
for all general operations; to prevent further academic and student activity related cuts in order to balance our
budget.
The Local Problem
It is important to first also answer “why are we asking for new funds?” Part of the answer is that House Bill 920
which became effective in 1976, prohibits the ability for governmental units to benefit from increases in home and
business values which dictate how much property tax revenue can be received. In short, HB920 says that values
on a district’s tax duplicate cannot produce more money in a given year than it did the year before. So the lion’s
share of a district’s voted tax revenue is held level until constituents allow additional funding to occur via an additional levy. Since it takes less tax millage to produce the same amount of funding to a district as values increase,
we are in large part asking constituents to replace the millage originally voted, but subsequently reduced by HB920
and the emergency levies which generate specific dollar amounts.
As an example, our oldest 7.9 mill emergency levy was passed in 1988 and generated $430,555.00. Today, residents are assessed just 2.5 mills to allow the district to continue to receive the same $430,555.00. Although emergency levies are for a given dollar amount, continuing levies voted by the district experience a similar result due to
HB920.
The gap between the District’s voted millage and the actual effective (HB920) millage received by the district translates to about $3,475,000 dollars annually. This is the effect of legislative revenue controls implemented in and
after 1976.
The State Problem
A shifting of tax dollars has occurred since the 1990’s. The shift has occurred due to decreasing State revenue.
State revenue has decreased due to the State level politicians cutting income and business taxes. Personal income
tax rates have been cut about 30% since 2004 for Ohioans earning $40,000 to $80,000 per year. The Tangible Personal Property taxes (TPP) paid by businesses has also been eliminated. The district once received nearly $350,000
in TPP taxes, and that revenue is no longer on the tax duplicate.
In 1999, the State’s formula provided 57.03% of the District’s foundation funding payments (State Share). The
current State share at South Range is 42.8%.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that under Ohio’s new taxing structure, citizens will decide if their schools, police, fire, and road
departments will be funded at the same levels to which residents have become accustomed prior to the tax structure changes. If communities so decide to account for tax shifting and maintain community services, they must do
so via local levies.
South Range schools has significantly reduced personnel, consolidated bus routing, reduced materials and supplies
budgets, and introduced programs to help control costs for purchased services such as utilities and other building
operations.

The cost cutting measures the district has implemented over the past five years has allowed the District to stay in
the black without causing much recognizable pain to most of our community. Unfortunately, in terms of cuts, the
“low fruit” has been harvested and without new funding, deeper and more painful cuts will be the only option.
Additional cuts could have far reaching long term effects on the quality of our school and on our community as a
whole. The value of homes and businesses could diminish. The quality student outcomes could diminish without
aides and tutors available to help students who struggle in certain disciplines or even struggle in school all together.
Elective academic programming and extra-curricular programming (both athletic and non-athletic) could be diminished.
The Board of Education has consciously refrained from “the sky is falling” tactics of communication over the past
five years. We have not focused on constantly reminding our constituents of staff cuts, employee pay freezes, and
other cost containment measures that have already occurred in our facilities. The time has come to be frank as to
what the future of South Range Schools may hold.
In answer to the original question: if approved by voters, the additional funding would be used to maintain the
high quality services and outcomes built and maintained to date together with the South Range Schools community during its first forty-five years of existence via its general operations (Personnel, Purchased Services/Utilities,
Materials and Supplies, Equipment) for example. Businesses and colleges will continue to recognize that if their
applicants are from South Range, they’ve got to be good. The community will continue to attend athletic games,
concerts, speech tournaments, drama productions, and they will know the great reputation of their schools both
inside and outside the district can continue.

Three years of historical dollar figures are available on the district five year forecast which can be found on the
web by key wording “Forecast” on the Ohio Department of Education website. The numbers reveal that the
Board has reduced costs everywhere it has control. The Board cannot control utility costs, fuel prices and license
and operation permit dues and fees for example. Personnel cost have been most affected by reductions to date. It
should be noted that South Range Schools is a service organization, and service organizations pay people to provide the services. Personnel costs are the primary expense of any service organization.
Note: Please feel free to contact Jim Phillips with any specific questions or concerns you might have regarding district finances.
Coming in 2015!! We will be introducing a new program for parents to access their
child’s lunch account online through a mobile device or home computer. You will be
able to add money to your child’s account and view their account activity. Look for
information coming home soon with your child.

Principal’s Message
I hope that you and your family are doing well this holiday season and from everyone here at South Range Elementary we would like to wish you a Happy New Year! I would personally like to thank all of our parents and
community members for your support over the past several months. We have had many activities taking place
from fundraisers and coin collections to food drives and, as always, our parents come through with your generosity to help both people in our community and across the United States who are in need. Your donations are
noticed by everyone and we appreciate all of your kindness.
As we return to school to begin a new year, there will be a lot of excitement in our classrooms, down the hallways and throughout the entire school district. This excitement will be matched by determination as we all prepare for the second half of the school year and the many changes ahead.
Our students continue to work hard and they remain focused on doing their best each and every day. With the
support of our parents and community, we are able to give our students the best education possible. Our fourth
grade leaders continue to look for ways to demonstrate their leadership strengths throughout our school. It
will be exciting to see what types of projects our students have in mind to show their various leadership skills!
As always, on behalf of the Elementary Staff I would like to thank everyone for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Mr. Matos
Winter Dress
Please remember to send your children to school with hats, gloves, winter coats and boots, if necessary, during
these winter months. Although it may be cold outside, we will try to go outside for recess if the weather permits. We want all of our students to participate in recess and be warm whenever they may be outside, so please
encourage them to dress warmly!

Grade 5 DARE
Officer Hartman will begin D.A.R.E. program in our fifth grade classes on January 6, 2015. The focus on
D.A.R.E. is to develop positive self-esteem and decision making skills. Lessons focus on saying “NO!” to drugs
including alcohol.
Attention Parents of Sixth Grade Students:
A current dose of Tdap or DTaP is required prior to entry into seventh grade. A record of this immunization
must be on file at school. If you have any questions please contact the Ohio Department of Health, your physician or contact Connie Stewart at 330-549-4071.
The 40 Book Challenge
To help accomplish our reading goals, fifth grade students have been issued The 40
Book Challenge this year. Each child is working to read 40 books from fiction and
nonfiction genres and charting his/her progress. We have also set a fifth grade
team goal of 4,000 books for the entire school year. The students are very proud
and excited to announce that we just reached 1,000 books this week!
The 40 Book Challenge requires students to choose various genres to read independently throughout the year, work as part of a community of readers during Reading/Writing Workshop, actively listen to read alouds from mentor texts, and complete a variety of reader’s notebook entries based on books being read. Each student also sets a goal every nine weeks for the number of Reading Counts points he/she will
work to earn.
Sixth Grade Ornaments
This year, the sixth graders decorated the middle school Christmas tree with ornaments
they created for math class. As a math project, each student created an ornament based
on the following criteria: they must weigh less than 50 pennies, fit into a 3" x 3" x 4"
box, and contain three or more geometric shapes. The students must also complete a
written document describing the qualities of the shapes used and other real-life examples. The staff votes on their favorites and the top 5 vote winners receive a special prize.
Eighth Grade MCCTC Field Trip
The eighth grade field trip to the MCCTC is scheduled for Wednesday, January 14. Students will be visiting the
Mahoning Career and Technical Center for a tour and a hands-on activity in one of their programs. This trip is
part of the career exploration process in the eighth grade. Students will have the opportunity to see many of the
academic programs offered at the MCCTC, ask question of the students and teachers in the career areas, and become more aware of the career and training opportunities available at the MCCTC. Students will visit during the
morning of January 14 and be back at school by lunchtime. There is no student cost for this trip.

Our eighth grade students volunteered at the Salvation Army store in Austintown the week
of December 8. They sorted and organized clothes and toys and decorated the front of the
store for the shoppers. The students did a fantastic job and
showed what South Range is all about. The teachers who chaperoned (and worked along side the students) along with the Salvation Army leadership were very impressed with how hard the students worked and how important it was for them to help people
who are struggling.
Academic Challenge
On Saturday, November 15, 2014 the South Range Middle School Academic Challenge team took second place
in their first ever tournament and have qualified for Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas in May. The team consists
of Lillian Popa, Stephen Moore, Zachary Razo and Luke Stoeber. Congratulations to Mr. Rappach and Anthony
Marsilio, team advisors, and the entire team. We are very proud of your accomplishment!

Message from the Principal
Greetings,
It is my hope that you have had a wonderful beginning to the New Year and a restful holiday season! While our students and
teachers continue to work diligently in the classroom, perform admirably in all extracurricular activities and serve the community, exciting changes are also taking place here at South Range Middle School. We have had several staff changes prior
to the first of the year and would like to welcome Mr. Casi to the seventh grade team. Mr. Casi will teach World Studies to
our seventh grade students for the remainder of the year. We are also pleased to have Mrs. Sobota in our seventh grade Language Arts classrooms and Ms. Szabo as our Title teacher. Another change is the performance-based and end-of-year assessments our students will be taking later this year. Our teachers have committed to preparing our students through their daily
instruction and we anxiously (and nervously) anticipate the implementation of the new assessments.
I would like to encourage you to follow the South Range Middle School teachers on Raider Radar! This online app allows
you to see the many wonderful things that take place at the school on a daily basis. Continue, also, to monitor the progress
of your child(ren) on Progress Book and review our teacher web pages to get a better understanding of what is happening in
the classroom. We stress communication here at South Range and these are just some of the ways we can make you aware
of the overall educational experience our students receive each and every day.
Finally, I would like to personally thank you for your continued support of our students and our efforts here at the middle
school. We take great pride in our school and it is only through your input and support that we will continue to do great
things!
Mr. Dan Szolek

Goodsearch started as an idea…and now it has turned into a movement.
More than 15
million people used Goodsearch last year to support
more than 100,000 non-profits and schools. Since 2006,
Goodsearch users have raised more than $9 million, participated in
over 1.1 billion charitable actions, and have truly made a difference.
So, how can YOU be a part of this??? It’s EASY!!
Step 1:
Visit the Goodsearch Website (www.goodsearch.com)
Step 2:
Click on the SIGN UP link in the upper right corner
Step 3:
Enter your information and select SOUTH RANGE MIDDLE
SCHOOL as the Cause (the money will go to ALL three schools)
Step 4:
Start searching at www.goodsearch.com (a patent-protected
Yahoo! Powered search engine)
Step 5:
Earn a Penny for South Range with every search (May not seem
like a lot, but if each family at South Range did just ONE search
it would bring @15.00 to South Range Schools – and that’s
just with ONE search!) Take a look at what some of the other
schools have earned!
Thanks for Supporting the
Students at South Range!!!

Action Level for Lead: .015 milligrams per liter (mg/L)
PWS’s Lead 90th Percentile Value: <5.0 mg/L
Action Level for Copper: 1.3 milligrams per liter (mg/L)
PWS’s Copper 90th Percentile Value: 1.15 mg/L
What Is Being Done?
Our 90th percentile values for lead and copper do not exceed the action levels, therefore, there are no actions
being implemented at this time other than sharing this consumer notice.
What Does This Mean?
Under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set the
action level for lead in drinking water at .015mg/L. This means PWSs must ensure that water from taps used
for human consumption do not exceed this level in at least 90 percent of the sites sampled (90th percentile value). The action level is the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a PWS must follow. Because lead may pose serious health risks, the EPA set a Maximum
Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) of zero for lead. The MCLG is the level of a contaminant in drinking water
below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
11
What Are The Health Effects of Lead?
Lead can cause serious health problems if too much enters your body from drinking water or other sources. It
can cause damage to the brain and kidneys, and can interfere with the production of red blood cells that carry
oxygen to all parts of your body. The greatest risk of lead exposure is to infants, young children, and pregnant
women. Scientists have linked the effects of lead on the brain with lowered IQ in children. Adults with kidney
problems and high blood pressure can be affected by low levels of lead more than healthy adults. Lead is stored
in the bones, and it can be released later in life. During pregnancy, the child receives lead from the mother’s
bones, which may affect brain development.
What Can I Do To Reduce Exposure to Lead if Found in My Drinking Water?
Run your water to flush out lead. If water has not been used for several hours, run water for thirty seconds to
two minutes before using it for drinking or cooking. This helps flush any lead in the water that may have
leached from the plumbing.
Use cold water for cooking and preparing baby formula. Do not cook with, drink water, or make baby formula from the hot water tap. Lead dissolves more easily in hot water.
Do not boil water to remove lead. Boiling water will not reduce lead.
For More Information Please Contact: Dean Pagnotta at 330-549-4076 or visit US EPA’s Web site at
www.epa.gov/lead, call the National Lead Information Center at 800-424-LEAD, or contact your health care
provider.
