summer update - The City of Wickliffe

Wickliffe, Ohio - The Gateway to Lake County
Volume 31, Issue 3
SUMMER UPDATE
Mayor William A. Margalis
Summer is now fully upon us and the weather
up to this point has been wet. The good news
on the pools is that the problem with the Coulby
Aquatic Center has been resolved. As speculated
last summer, there was a crack in a pipe beneath
the play structure. This spring, the new piping was
installed that solved the problem of leaking water.
Purchase a pass this year and enjoy your two
pools and spray park. Without your support we
would not be able to maintain these recreational
features.
November Charter Change: On the ballot
this November will be an issue which will ask
the voters of Wickliffe to decide on a change
to the City Charter. In 2006 and 2014, a similar
request was on the ballot and approved by the voters. The request this year will ask that the entire
amount of income tax dollars be deposited to the
General Fund. City Council can then allocate the
required amount to be used for capital improvements and have the ability to transfer monies to
the Capital Improvement Fund. Additionally the
Capital Fund will continue to have approximately
$500,000 from real estate millage to work with.
This change is a very important one for the City.
Because of reduced revenues the City receives,
these dollars to the General Fund will reduce and,
in most cases, eliminate the need for personnel
reductions next year. The entire goal of this plan
is to use every tax dollar wisely and maintain City
services to the highest level possible without a
tax increase. This change will not cost taxpayers any new or additional money. You will be
hearing much more about the Charter change in
the months ahead and why it’s important for us in
maintaining services. Please stay informed and be
aware of how this may affect you as a resident.
State Budget – Again, the state legislature has
targeted the Local Government Fund revenue to
finance newly created state programs. Governor Kasich signed into law last month the State
biennial budget, the result of which will affect the
amount of revenue previously received from Co-

lumbus by the City of Wickliffe. Although final
projections are not in, revenue that once was $1.8
million will have been reduced to somewhere
between $500,000 and $700,000. This is just
another example of shifting the tax burden to the
local level while balancing the state budgets.
Personnel Changes: I would like to thank
William C. Gargiulo for his years of service to
the City. Bill retired on June 30 of this year. Bill
served most recently as Director of Law and previously as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney along
with serving on several boards and commissions.
His knowledge and experience will be missed.
Beginning July 1, Scott Zele assumed the combined roles of Director of Law and Prosecuting
Attorney. Scott has served as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney since 2012 and he and his family are
residents of Wickliffe. We have confidence that
Scott will continue to do a great job for us.
Summer Events: We are now halfway
through the summer and the City has been full of
activities. There are still many activities planned
for the remainder of the summer in our parks
and around our City. Plan to attend the FEST
being held on Sunday, August 9 on the grounds
of Borromeo Seminary and the Wickliffe I&A
Cleveland Challenge Cup of Bocce, which will be
held on August 28, 29, 30 at their picnic grounds
for some great outdoor fun this summer. Both of
these are free events and open to the public.
A new way of following what is happening
in Wickliffe is to like me on Facebook at Mayor
Bill Margalis or on Twitter @WickliffeWAM.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns
that I may be able to help you with, please feel
free to give me a call at 440-943-7103 or email
at wmargalis@cityofwickliffe.com. My cable

Road Projects for 2015
Despite a difficult year financially, things are
still going on in the City. Council approved
plans for two road projects and also passed
legislation aimed at keeping our residents
safe.
Work Begins on 2015 Road Program
In June, City Council approved ordinances
for two major street projects this summer.
The first project is actually a continuation of
a project begun last year and wrapped up this
year.
Grand Boulevard Phase II will span from
Talmadge Avenue and run to Lloyd Road. The
City is once again teaming up with the Lake
County Department of Utilities in order to
replace waterlines on this street. In addition to
new waterlines, the current asphalt street will
be replaced with a new concrete surface. The
contractor on this project is Fabrizi Trucking
and Paving.
The overall cost of the project is
$1,351,950 with the City of Wickliffe being
responsible for $643,750. Wickliffe also
received a $250,000 grant for the project from
the Ohio Public Works Commission. The
Utilities Department is kicking in $458,200.
Construction is expected to begin at the end of
July and be completed in May 2016.
Besides Grand Boulevard, the other street
undergoing construction this year is Sunset
Drive from Ashwood Drive to Ridge Road.
In my opinion, this street in particular needs
to be repaved more than any other street it the
city. This long-overdue project, which has
already begun, should be finished by the end
of the year. The city will spend $159,194 to
repave this stretch of road. Ronyak Paving of
Burton is the general contractor.
If residents approve the proposed charter
change request, these two projects will be the
last road projects to occur in the city for at
least a year or two, until a source of funding
can found for capital improvement projects.
Buena Vista Flood Plain
CT Consultants recently finished calculating
numbers concerning the flood plain at Nehls
Park. With survey work and calculation work
complete, our engineering firm can now
begin to create a report to be sent into FEMA,
requesting this area lose its status as a flood
plain. Last year, residents of this area came
to Council and asked for help in getting this
designation removed. Please keep an eye out
for updates in my future articles. Needless to
say, when dealing with the federal government, these types of decisions never happen
quickly.
Safety Forces Legislation
As you may have heard or read, City Council,
by a 5-1 vote, passed an ordinance limiting
the age of our safety forces employees. This
ordinance is extremely similar to legislation
currently in place in Mentor and Cleveland.
During numerous meetings, the Police and Fire
Chiefs discussed the importance of passing this
legislation. It is an ordinance that, in the end,
will help ensure the safety of our residents.

Swim Club Boosters Make Coulby Concessions a Success
With the Wickliffe Water Devils swim team growing for its
fourth year in a row, the organization is now ready to take on the
new challenge of managing the Coulby Aquatic Center Concession Stand. As the Swim Club Boosters, the group plans to use the
profits to launch a Club Team at Wickliffe High School with the
intention of becoming a varsity sport.
Manager Amy Gezann, whose daughter Kayla has been on the
Water Devils for three seasons, became interested in helping with
this project because she “wanted to see the swim program grow
through the high school level.” She has been in food service since
she was fourteen, in all environments from fine dining to concessions. Carolyn Daro, also a WWD parent, serves as secretary and
treasurer for the project.
Right now, the WWD is the only team in the Suburban Swim
League without a high school team to support. President Joe Turi
hopes to change that: “There are many benefits to swimming, from
personal fitness to teamwork and goal orientation. Getting this
program into the high school will take effort from our neighbors as
well as the business community.” .As a Wickliffe resident, every
time you patronize the concession stand at Coulby Pool, you are
supporting a cause that will directly benefit the young swimmers
of Wickliffe. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for the
boosters in exchange for summer signage at the pool, contact Joe
at (216) 272-2829.

Education
Coming Soon to the Wickliffe Schools
By Joseph Spiccia, Superintendent
The Wickliffe City School District is growing into a learning organization focused on innovation, student
achievement, and the professional advancement of each staff member. The district’s strategic plan makes a
commitment to improving student achievement and preparing students to be successful in college and career.
This article highlights the programmatic enhancements students and staff will experience in the 2015-16
school year.
The district in partnership with the public library, and several preschools is developing an early literacy
program for parents of children aged 3-8. The program’s purpose is to provide early literacy workshops
to parents so that they may begin working with their children on the literacy skills they will need in their
primary schooling years.
The literacy-coaching project that began last year for K-2 teachers is being expanded this year to include
teachers teaching grades 3 and 4. Literacy development of our staff is a focal point of the district’s professional development plan this year.
In addition to the aforementioned professional development in the area of literacy, the Wickliffe Schools
staff will also participate in professional development programs to improve their technology skills, and the
instructional skills in the area of differentiating instruction.
The K-6 technology program is being enhanced this year. Students will have regular technology instruction throughout the year and will be working with a sophisticated online curriculum that will pace instruction
to meet each student’s individual needs.
Students at the middle school will be taking advantage of the new Innovation/STEM lab. The lab which
is being funded with 21st Century grant dollars and assistance from the Lake County Educational Service
Center will provide students opportunities through their technology classes, to build real products using 3-D
Printers, CNC Milling Machines, and other technology tools and equipment. This economic and workforce readiness center will be a central focus for students both during the school day and through the LAB
program.
More physical education instruction is being made available to students at the middle school this coming
year. The new equipment purchased through the PEP Grant will bring a fitness and wellness theme to the
health and physical education program.
The high school is also developing an Innovation/STEM lab. This economic and workforce development
center will include 3-D Printers, CNC Milling Machines, Laser Cutters, and advanced Robotics equipment.
Students will be learning how to design and build projects using sophisticated equipment and technology.
As noted in previous articles of this nature, seven courses at the high school this year will allow students
to earn high school and college credit simultaneously. Two new advanced placement courses have also been
added to the curriculum.
A group of high school students will be involved in a “Project-Based Learning” opportunity this year.
WHS is partnering with Perry High School, Yellow Springs High School, and MC2 School in this project.
This opportunity is being made possible thanks to a grant from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation.
This pilot program may lead to more projects of this nature in the future.
Every student in grades 7-12 will begin working on a “Ten-Year Plan.” The plan is designed to help
students begin thinking strategically about their future and building an educational plan to prepare them for
the career opportunities in which they are interested. The plan includes meeting individually twice per year
with their counselor to discuss their plan and its progress, opportunity to select coursework that best meets
their needs, to participate in field trips, job shadowing, and internship experiences to actually “get out in the
field” and learn more about their interests.
In order to achieve this ambitious agenda, the district created the position of Director of Strategic Innovation for Teaching and Learning. This person will have the responsibility of developing and implementing
programming that is innovative, relevant, and meaningful.
Her duties will include:
Collaborating with internal stakeholders and external experts;
Building partnerships with businesses, higher education, the arts community, and other organizations
with a similar mission;
Developing innovative strategies and blending innovation with tradition;
Leading professional development programs;
Leading the Economic and Workforce Lab (STEM);
Developing programs in entrepreneurship; and
The director will develop an innovation plan that will include specific goals and measurable outcomes.
She will be expected to nurture a culture of innovation within the district and magnify its capabilities in
providing a state of the art educational experience for students.
The position was made possible through assistance from Lake Health, the Lake County Educational
Service Center, the Geauga County Educational Service Center, and the Buckeye Educational Systems
Company.
The director and the work the Wickliffe Schools will do will serve as a model for other school districts
through NE Ohio and the state.
Of course, there is no substitute for excellent teaching and the development of fundamental skills. The
district will continue to develop programming that emphasizes strong, reading, writing, and math skills.
The Writer’s and Reader’s Workshop approach to literacy instruction is being built into programming
for students in English/Language Arts and newly adopted curriculum and materials in mathematics will
continue to emphasize the development of these fundamental skills.
Finally, the district is in the process of integrating its new themes into district communication and
literature. The newly developed Mission/Vision of the Wickliffe City School District will take its place
throughout the community. Bumper stickers, posters, the website, stationary, and similar district materials
will carry the same theme: The Wickliffe City School District: Inspiring Students to Learn, Lead, and
Serve. Of course, this new theme will compliment our belief in “Generations of Pride.”
The Wickliffe Schools are on an upward trajectory, as we are becoming a premier school district in
northeast Ohio.
The State Budget
By Joseph Spiccia, Superintendent
Over the past several months, the Board of Education and the administration has been working to
preserve the district’s $2.1 million in annual Tangible Personal Property (TPP) tax reimbursements
from the State of Ohio. These reimbursements began in 2005 after the Tangible Personal Property tax
was eliminated to stimulate economic growth throughout the state.
At the time of its elimination, the Wickliffe City School District was receiving $2.8 million dollars
annually in these taxes representing 14% of our total operating budget. Over the years since the elimination of the tax, the state has cut the reimbursements by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Currently, the district receives $2.1 million in reimbursements, representing 10% of our total operating budget. The state budget just passed and signed by the governor will eliminate that funding.
I testified twice in front of the legislative budget committees to urge that the reimbursements continue, stressing the devastating effect on our district if the funding is eliminated. Although the versions of
the budget passed by the House and the Senate both still included a total phase out of these reimbursements, at least their versions also included a temporary “hold harmless” provision for the next two
years to help soften the impact of the phase out. The legislative conference committee agreed with the
House and Senate versions and sent the recommendations to the governor. However, Gov. Kasich used
his line-item veto power to eliminate the second year of the hold harmless funding, cutting that assistance in half. While we are still analyzing the exact impact for the Wickliffe Schools, as it stands now,
we will absorb a significant loss in TPP reimbursement in fiscal year 2017, which begins next July 1.
By law, the State of Ohio must approve the new biennium budget by June 30 every year. The
governor signed the budget bill on June 30, 2015, and in his veto message he said he eliminated the
reimbursements because they would go primarily to wealthier school districts, which would divert
resources from poorer schools. This is certainly not the case, especially for Wickliffe. In fact, over the
past 10 years, the number of students who have qualified in our district as economically disadvantaged,
making them eligible for free and reduced priced school meals, has nearly doubled from 21% in 2005
to almost 40% this past year.
TIME TO REGISTER STUDENTS
FOR KINDERGARTEN
If you have a child who will be 5 before September 30 and you live within the Wickliffe
City School District boundaries, you are still able to register your child for Kindergarten.
Please contact the Wickliffe Elementary School office at 440-943-0320 to schedule a
registration appointment and to obtain the necessary forms for registration. Registration for
all other grades is on-going and can be completed at the child’s school of attendance. An
orientation for families new to the elementary school will be held at Wickliffe Elementary
School on August 13. More information will be included with registration materials.

Since passing our last operating levy, the district has continuously cut $1 million from our budget
each year as a commitment to keeping costs down and we have worked hard to identify a variety of
alternative funding sources (such as grants and donations) to ensure programming. However, even
with the cuts that the district is making and the passage of the levy in 2011, the new state budget and
governor’s veto will significantly alter our financial circumstances and we will have to need to ask for
an operating levy in the near future.
Further, I am concerned that if the total elimination of TPP reimbursements does take place and our
continued effort to save the TPP funding is not successful, that the community will be faced with seeing an operating levy on the ballot that not only addresses our typical “cost of doing business needs,”
but also includes enough millage to make-up for the elimination of the TPP reimbursement.
The governor – and legislators by leaving the TPP total phase out in the budget bill – are contending that other tax policy decisions included in the budget is resulting in a tax reduction to the citizens
of Ohio. This is not true for citizens in communities like ours. By calling for the elimination of the
TPP reimbursements, the governor is simply shifting the burden of taxation to local entities like school
districts and city governments. This is a shell game. One that attempts to make the governor and state
lawmakers look good and the local taxing agencies look greedy. As voters and citizens, we need to
make sure our voices are heard. I recommend that you contact your legislators and let them know that
the elimination of the reimbursements is unacceptable.

WMS Students Honored for Positive Decision-Making Wickliffe Middle School Reads!
by Kristan Glau, WMS Assistant Principal
by Kristan Glau, Assistant Principal
Staff and students at Wickliffe Middle School embrace and uphold three core values:
respect, responsibility and personal best. As a means of recognizing students who make
decisions that reflect the school’s values, staff members distribute “Blue Bucks.” Students
may earn Blue Bucks for a variety of reasons: going above and beyond to help a peer, taking
the time to create a quality work
product, persevering through a
challenge, etc. Once a student
has been awarded a Blue Buck,
he or she enters the award in the
school’s weekly, monthly, or
yearly prize drawings based upon
desired winnings. Prizes range
from notebooks and pencils at
the weekly level to a set of Beats
Headphones and gift cards at the
yearly level.
This year’s yearly drawing
L to R: Colagiovanni, Larner, Hunger
winners were Arianna Colagiovanni, Matthew Hunger, and Derek Larner. Congratulations to these outstanding students
for the way in which they consistently show respect, responsibility and their personal best!
For the second year in a row, Wickliffe Middle School has partnered with the
Wickliffe Public Library to promote student
engagement in reading over the course of
the summer.
Rather than assigning novels to be read
over the summer as in years past, WMS
staff members are encouraging student
choices with regard to summer reading.
Research indicates that, when students
choose books according to individualized
interest and reading ability, comprehension
improves and the likelihood of developing a
life-long love of reading increases.
Students in all WMS grade levels are
encouraged to participate in the Wickliffe
Public Library’s summer reading program.
In short, this program runs from June 4 -
LAB Summer Camp
by Toni Starinsky
This summer the LAB Project at Wickliffe Middle School sponsored a two week
camp. The Summer Safari experience had a photo scavenger hunt as its theme. Students
were given a copy of Cynthia Lord’s book, Half a Chance, to read and follow the same
photo scavenger hunt list as the main character in the book. LAB students visited the
Cleveland
Museum of
Natural History, Pete’s
Pond, and The
Cleveland
Metroparks
Zoo to find
their photos
based on a list
of twenty-six
words from
Lord’s book.
When not
working with
technology
and digital
photography, students
participated
in learning
leadership and
communicaStudents practice archeological skills at the Cleveland Museum of
tion skills in Natural History
activities led
by specialists from Crossroads of Lake County. The Wickliffe Public Library, engaged
students in a “Readers Theater” and book discussion. Students were fortunate to have
their final photography exhibit at Wickliffe Public Library. Students learned some team
sport skills in soccer and volleyball. Finally, all students were taught one of two dances
– which were demonstrate at the showcase finale.
WES LATCHKEY REGISTRATION
AUGUST 10-11
Families enrolling WES students in Latchkey programming are invited to the Latchkey Registration sessions in the WES cafeteria from 5:30-7:30 the evenings of August 10 and 11. Latchkey
is available before each school day starting at 7:00 am, and after dismissal until 6:00 pm.
August 1 and involves students documenting summer reading and turning in evidence
of such reading directly to the library.
We encourage you to learn more about
the library’s comic book-themed summer
program at www. http://wickliffepl.org/
young-adult/.
In the fall, WMS staff members will
be provided with a list of all students who
participated in the library’s summer reading
program; every student who is identified by
the library as an active participant will be
honored at the start of the 2015-2016 school
year. These students’ names will also be
entered into a drawing at school to win
reading-related prizes such as a Kindle Fire
HD and Barnes and Noble gift cards. We
were thrilled to honor the 140 students who
chose to read last summer and look forward
to celebrating even more this fall!

WMS Enhances Technology Offerings
by Julie Hunter
STEM/Technology Teacher
and abilities.
During the STEM class, students will
explore in the design studio, and will have
the opportunity to use state of the art technology to create using not only computers,
but will also have access to a 3D printer,
along with materials for the various units.
The program includes a complete STEM
content library, materials for engineering construction, green energy, biomedical technology and robotics. Students in
grades 5-8 will explore endless possibilities using the STEM materials and the
design process.
I am excited to start a new chapter
teaching STEM (science, technology,
engineering and math) at Wickliffe Middle
School. STEM education is not merely
teaching science and math. It consists of
using the design process, and projectbased learning, which truly makes it a
student-driven, inquiry based learning
environment. In this class students will
apply concepts and skills from multiple
disciplines in order to solve meaningful,
real world problems.
The design process first begins
with a challenge. Students then
use this challenge to drive the inquiry in order to create a product
or solution. The process begins
with brainstorming ideas and/or
solutions. Students then research,
create, reflect and revise their designs. Ultimately, their ideas are
communicated with others, which
in turn may lead to more revisions
and improvements to an existing
design or product. The design
model is used in the real world
daily and makes the learning very Students will have the opportunity to work with a
meaningful and hands on to all
number of new hands-on projects, including using
students, based on their interests this mini solar house.

WES SCHOOL YEAR ENDS WITH KINDNESS AND MORE
By Diane Wieland, Principal Wickliffe Elementary School
The excitement of the approaching summer vacation
filled the air in the final weeks
of the 2014-2015 school year at
Wickliffe Elementary School.
Although thoughts of Coulby Park
Pool, t-ball, the Library reading
program and sleeping in were on
everyone’s mind, there was plenty
of activity to close the school year.
The week of May 18 featured
the annual WES Kindness Spirit
Week. Planned annually by staff
Students at WES enjoy lunch with WMS Kindness Ambas- advisors Mrs. Kristi Silvestro
sadors and new friends at “Mix It Up” lunch day during and Ms. Sandy Sawyer, the
third and fourth grade Kindness
Kindness Spirit Week.
Ambassadors celebrated a successful school year with a number of themed events to spotlight ways to show kindness to others.
In addition to the “crazy hair,” “wacky hats,” and “mismatch” days, the students collaborated with
the Kindness Ambassadors at Wickliffe Middle School for the favorite event of the week, the
“Mix-it-up Lunch” day. Ambassadors from WMS joined our WES Ambassadors during the three
lunch periods as students ate lunch and made new friends with their peers from other classes.
Kindness Spirit Week was developed at WES by Ms. Sawyer and Mrs. Silvestro as an extension of the Kindness Ambassador program. Students apply to be Ambassadors by a written essay
and meet as a group throughout the school year to plan activities and promote messages of kindness throughout the school.
In other year-end events, we bid farewell to our fourth grade students at the annual Fourth
Grade Celebration. Prior to their send-off, the fourth graders participated in Career Day, hearing
about careers in fire safety, training of service canines and more. Families of third graders learned
about many notable scientists at the Third Grade Famous Scientist Wax Museum in late May.
And all students enjoyed the “Grand Slam Science” travelling exhibit from the Carnegie Science
Museum in Pittsburgh as well as the year-ending Field Day and WickChallenge events which
promote teamwork and acknowledge the positive choices that students make at school throughout
12
the school year.
The WES staff hopes everyone enjoys the
summer break and looks forward to welcoming our learners back on August 18.
Mrs. Dugan and her second grade students celebrated Wacky Hat day as part
of Kindness Spirit Week at WES. Students
took their “hats off to kindness” during
this annual event.
