August 2015
Volume 16 Issue 1
From the Desk of Superintendent Hlasko
Greetings! I hope this newsletter finds
you doing well and preparing with
excitement for the start of the school
year! While it may sound trite, it
certainly is the case that it seems like
just yesterday we were bidding our
seniors farewell and now we are
welcoming back another outstanding
senior class! This summer certainly
has been a busy and interesting one
with no lack of things to complete
prior to the start of school. The school
hired a number of new staff members,
undertook an unprecedented number of
permanent improvement projects, and
made a significant change to our
administrative structure.
Each of
these, though, provide the opportunity
for our school to build on our past
improvement and successes and
continue to strive to provide the best
possible education in an amazing
environment!
While each of the aforementioned
pieces bring change to the school
perhaps none of them does so with the
same impact as the recent change in
administrative structure. As you may
well know we convened a search
committee of staff, parents, and
community to seek a replacement for
Mark Willeke with his pending
retirement.
After hiring a strong
candidate in March we could never
have known what would occur in midJuly when he resigned to take the same
position (high school principal) at his
previous district. While panic could
have set in at that moment, I am
extremely proud of our district’s
reaction.
Ideas and options were
brainstormed, the high school principal
search committee was reconvened to
examine the options, and, in a very
short time, we arrived at a consensus
decision to promote Heath Huffman
from K-6 to K-12 principal and
promote an excellent teacher, Becky

IDEA-B Funds
Once again CRLS will be receiving Title
VI-B Funds for 2015-16. These funds are
used to supplement special education and
special needs programs already in place in
the district and county.
This allocation is earmarked to help pay for
the special educations services CRLS
students receive through the Hancock
County Educational Service Center. The
school system would like to continue to use
its IDEA-B money for this purpose.
If you have any questions or comments
pertaining to the use of these funds or
our special education programs, please
contact the superintendent’s office.

Rosenbauer,
to
K-12
assistant
principal.
In every option we
examined we asked whether each one
would move the district backwards,
maintain the status quo, or move the
district forward. I, and those involved
in the process, believe that this option
provides us the flexibility in the future
and the best possibility to continue to
move forward with our growth and
improvement.
Mr. Huffman has
already demonstrated a keen ability to
successfully
drive
collaborative
decision making at the elementary and
I have no doubt that he will be able to
do the same on a larger scale. It has
been said that the best teachers make
the best administrators and Mrs.
Rosenbauer has proven to be an
excellent and caring teacher for a
number of years. She is eager to grow
as a professional and have an impact
on more students. We believe this is
the perfect opportunity for her to
provide that support and caring to not
only our students but for our staff as
they continue to strive to make this an
excellent district. I cannot tell you that
everything will be perfect about this
transition because it does, indeed,
represent quite a significant under-
ALL-SPORT PASSES
Cory-Rawson All-Sports Passes will be
available to purchase starting August
12th. Enter door A1 in the new building and proceed to the office on your
left.
All Sports passes cover all home regular season contests for grades 7-12 of
every sport. Family passes are $225,
which covers the residential parents
and any siblings in elementary, middle
or high school. Children not yet in
school are admitted free. Individual
adult passes are $80, individual students are $55, and senior citizens age
55 or older are $25.
Starting this school year, passes will be
hard plastic. Passes will be renewed in
the fall of each school year with a
sticker similar to a vehicle license
plate. There will be no additional
charge the first time a pass is purchased; however, there will be a $3
replacement fee if a pass is lost or stolen. Passes are non-transferable.
taking. However, I can tell you that
Mr. Huffman, Mrs. Rosenbauer, and
all those involved in supporting them
will work to ensure that our staff and
students are equipped and prepared to
achieve the best possible educational
environment!
Speaking of significant undertakings, I
hope you get a chance to check out all
that our maintenance and custodial
crew has accomplished this summer.
As always, the custodial crew manages
to achieve the impossible and clean the
school from top to bottom in just a few
short months!
In between their
cleaning, our maintenance crew completed an unprecedented number of
projects. On the exterior they installed
the commemorative bricks by the
connector (the bricks are still for sale if
anyone is interested in purchasing
one), mulched the flower beds,
installed a new water line to the soccer
fields, removed the defunct air
filtration system by the ag shop, oversaw installation of a new fuel pump
station for buses, brick repair on the
middle and high school buildings, and
replacement of concrete in several
locations behind the school building.
Inside the school the crew resealed the
gym floors, painted the old high school
cafeteria, installed new ceiling tiles in
the old high school cafeteria (which
really brightened up the space!),
installed a sound and lighting booth in
the auditorium, oversaw replacement
of the sound and lighting in the
auditorium, and the replacement of the
high school fire alarm system. I’m
sure I’ve overlooked about a dozen
other things they accomplished, but
suffice it to say that the school is in tiptop condition for the start of the school
year!
Finally, I’d like to welcome our newest
staff members to the Hornet Community: Trista Baker (3rd Grade), Emily
Boerger (5th grade), Joe Faine (HS
Business and College and Career
Advisor), Cory Hefner (HS Math,
Head Football Coach), Andréa Lee
(HS English), Heather Miracle (aide),
Kyle Wagner (HS Social Studies), Jan
Reese (Family and Consumer Science),
Ashley Sprunger (EL Intervention),
and Elizabeth Trigg (HS Math/Social
Studies). I hope you’ll get a chance to
give them a warm Hornet welcome at
our upcoming Open House on August
18th from 6-7pm!
Enjoy the rest of your summer and
we’ll see you soon! Go Hornets!
