Superintendent Morrison to become Fairborn assistant principal
FAIRBORN — Beavercreek Superintendent Dennis Morrison won’t go far when he leaves his post July 31.
Beginning Aug. 1 Morrison will be an assistant principal at neighboring Fairborn Primary School. The soon-to-be-former superintendent says the move will accomplish his latest career objective, getting back to working closely with kids.
“It puts me back to my first love, which has always been working closely with kids,” Morrison said. “I believe where I did the most good is when I was a classroom teacher.”
Many in Beavercreek would likely say Morrison did the best at the helm of their district. He is seen as the district’s biggest cheerleader who helped them pass operating levies and a recent $84-million bond issue for a building and renovation campaign. School board members, staff and residents are currently interviewing applicants to replace Morrison. They expect to name a successor before his last day July 31.
Fairborn Superintendent Dave Scarberry said he’s glad to see his friend coming to work in the district where he’ll earn about $76,000 annually. “We’re excited to have him,” Scarberry said. “He’s definitely not doing it for the money.” Morrison interviewed with an appointed panel that quizzed several other applicants, Scarberry said. “He was by far the best of the best.”

Road work on 725 in Bellbrook starts today
Traffic on Ohio 725 (Franklin Street) through the western side of Bellbrook will be slow for much of the next month, as construction crews will repave the road from Vemco Drive to Lakeman Drive.
Preliminary work, such as curbing and pavement preparation, is scheduled to begin Wednesday, June 10, according to Bellbrook City Manager Mark Schlagheck.
City officials said they believe the entire 1.2-mile project will take less than a month, with the actual paving lasting roughly a week, depending on weather conditions.
At times, one or two of the three lanes will be closed, but there is no plan to close the road completely during any part of the project, and therefore, no forced detour through residential neighborhoods.
“When they work on the outer lanes, two lanes of traffic will be maintained, one each way,” Bellbrook Service Superintendent Dale Wilson said. “When they do the center lane, they’ll have only one lane running, with (a flagman). They don’t want traffic on both sides of the workers.”
Wilson added that the road is only supposed to be down to one lane during non-rush hour times.
