Galion school board president Dennis Long hands retiring board member Marge McCumber a plaque for eight years of service to the school district at the board’s monthly meeting Dec. 8. Superintendent Kathy Jenney, left, said she felt a particular connection with McCumber, since McCumber was on the board at the time Jenney was hired as superintendent, and would miss her presence at the meetings. Former board member Carl Stough showed up to the meeting to express his farewell, too. “For the past five or six years the community has been very satisfied with the Galion city school district,” Stough said, which he attributed in part to McCumber’s activity on the board. “She was a boots-on-the-ground board member. She was always interested in the new educational ideas that she had read about.” Galion Education Association co-president Ryan Tanner added his commendation. “You led us through difficult times with the last administration,” he told McCumber. “Thank you and we’ll miss you.” Incoming board member Brian Owens will fill her seat starting at the January organizational meeting.
