GOP faces big challenges
By AARON KORTE

There is a lot of work ahead, but Monday night was about sharing food, stories and ideals.
A full house gathered at Woody's Restaurant for the annual Lincoln Day dinner.
A number of Republican officials spoke during the dinner but U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) of the Fourth Congressional District was the keynote speaker.
He joked with the audience about coming to the dinner, despite there being two congressmen there, Jordan and U.S. Rep. Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) of the Fifth Congressional District.
"Anyone know what the approval rating of Congress is?" Jordan said. "Fourteen percent. Just the fact you're willing to hang out with us is a bold step."
Jordan said the country is at a critical juncture.

There were a lot of questions and a lot of concerns expressed but the Upper Sandusky Board of Education followed through on the recommendation of Superintendent Ken Doseck and reassigned some teachers to split time between the high school and junior high.
About a dozen and a half people turned out for the meeting to share their concerns with the board.
At issue was the middle school team-teaching concept, which has received recognition from around the state.
In the reassignment, the 19 middle school teachers who had a team planning period and an instructional planning period will lose their team planning period.
