a balanced budget but assumes no overall increase in payroll and
no overall increase in medical insurance costs for the next five
years. Reverting to the terms of the 2006 contracts will invalidate
these assumptions and cost the district an additional $5.7 million
for payroll and $5.6 million in insurance over the next five years.
Completing negotiations will instill confidence within the entire
Springboro community about the districts financial future as the
Board of Education seeks to renew a $9.2 million tax levy in
2013. These labor negotiations are a watershed event that will pro-
vide an excellent opportunity for the Board of Education, the
SCEA and the SEA to work cooperatively to negotiate labor
agreements that are financially sustainable. The Board of
Educations general objectives include delivering a compensation
structure that is fair and accountable and providing fringe benefits
that are affordable and also competitive with the private sector.
Because the Board of Education is elected to represent the
community, we will discuss the importance of transparency in
the negotiations process for the benefit of the entire Springboro
School community with the SEA and SCEA, said Jim Rigano,
board vice president. It is our hope that, with the assistance of the
SEA and SCEA, a negotiations process that is open and transpar-
ent can be agreed upon and fully communicated to the communi-
ty.

learning community. This change will help this vision become
a reality.
The district should save at least $150,000 each year,
according to Petrey. That savings can be invested back into
instruction in other grade levels without impacting our dis-
tricts current f iscal standing, he said.
Springboros preschool curriculum will be guided by the
Ohio Early Learning Standards set forth by the state of Ohio.
The preschool will:
Function under the same guidelines as our current out-
sourced program. Therefore, parents will not see a difference
in price, fees, or length of day. Essential preschool operations
will remain the same.
Be integrated to allow students with a variety of strengths
to work together, model skills for each other and establish
friendships with one another.
Support students age three to five who qualify for special
education services in the same manner as defined by each stu-
dents Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Children from the
community also are invited to register. Each classroom can
enroll up to 16 students (eight-to-eight ratio).
Encourage meaningful play to offer opportunities for
problem solving, individual growth and discovery, and devel-
opment of a positive self- image.
Focus on the total development of children through activ-
ities that integrate physical, cognitive, social, emotional, lan-
guage, self-help and aesthetic lessons.
Prepare students for kindergarten with a cur riculum that is
aligned with the rest of our school district.
The impact in terms of staff is really unknown at this
time, Johnson said. We obviously will have to create a new
staff for the preschool program. The staff will not be estab-
lished until the hiring process is complete. All current pre-
school staff members will be granted an interview through
this process The biggest changes will be behind the scenes
in terms of licensing our preschool as Springboros through
the Ohio Department of Education. This is mainly a paper-
work process and will required various items to be recorded
and approved through ODE.
Springboros preschool day will follow the Clearcreek
building schedule Mondays though Thursdays, with no pre-
school on Fridays. Morning sessions will meet from 9:10-
11:55 a.m. Afternoon sessions will meet from 1:10-3:55 p.m.
Bus transportation will be provided to our preschool students.

Premier HealthNet.
Still, time hasnt touched one aspect of Garlands practice and
that happens to be the reason he pursued medicine in the first
place.
I just love my people, Garland said about his patients, some
of whom he has had since the day he opened his practice. I
look forward to seeing them and I think they look forward to
seeing me when they need me.
A New York native, Garland became interested in medicine
through his childhood involvement in Boy Scouts and his expe-
rience with First Aid. He graduated in pre-med from the
University of Notre Dame in 1953 and received his medical
degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in
1957. He landed in Southwest Ohio through a clinical intern-
ship in Dayton. After completing his internship, Garland pur-
chased an existing practice in Springboro with the intent of run-
ning it long enough to pay off his school debt and then he would
return to his home state. But his plans changed as his family and
practice simultaneously grew, causing him to dig deeper roots in
the Springboro community. He spent the next couple of decades
focusing solely on his practice and his six children.
As my practice got busy and my family grew, I felt that stay-
ing in Springboro made sense, Garland said. Perhaps the time
devoted to his practice was one of the most valuable contribu-
tions he could ever give to his community. Dr. Garland began
most of his days doing early morning rounds at the hospital and
then he would see up to 100 patients a day at his medical prac-
tice. Some days he would return home after 10 p.m. only to be
awakened in the middle of the night to deliver a baby.There were things that came up every day, Garland said
when asked to recall his most memorable moments. I delivered
a baby in the back seat of my convertible on the way to the hos-
pital. She was full term and in labor and we needed to get her to
the hospital so I got out my convertible and headed north. This
was before I-75 ever existed. It just happened that we had the
baby before we got to the hospital.
Another fulfilling part of . Garlands practice is his work in
aviation medicine. For 40 years, Garland has been one of the
only air medical examiners in Warren County, conducting phys-
icals on pilots and determining their fitness to fly everything
from private planes to large commercial jets. Last year, he con-
ducted 150 examinations for the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Garland still approaches medicine at age 80 with the same
passion he had right out of medical school. He just does it in
less hours than he did 50 years ago. Today, he needs that extra
time for fishing, flying his own plane, and of course, treatingsome of his 14 grandchildren to a weekly breakfast at the Waffle
House.
