<![CDATA[By Denise Wilson, Staff Writer

Monroe Locals Schools Board of Education named a new vice-president of the board and named two of its members to serve on a couple Ohio education associations during its re-organizational meeting on Monday, Jan. 5.

Board President Tom Leeds was re-elected by a 3-2 vote to serve as president of the board for the 2009 school year and board member Mike Lane was unanimously elected to serve as the new vice-president replacing board member Chris Synder in that role.

Leeds also was reappointed to serve as the district&#8217;s legislative liaison to the Ohio School Board&#8217;s Association for 2009 and board member Mike Irwin also was reappointed to serve as the district&#8217;s student achievement liaison to the Ohio School Board&#8217;s Association for 2009.

The board also approved three legal counsels to represent the board in such matters from time to time for 2009. They are: Ennis, Roberts, Fischer &#8212; through Butler County ESC Consortium, Bricker &amp; Eckler and Frost, Brown and Todd.

A member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge 1943 who was employed at AK Steel Corp.&amp;#8217;s Middletown Works plant is expected to plead guilty to federal charges that he forged and cashed more than 100 defense fund checks that didn&amp;#8217;t belong to him.
This comes from the story written by Staff Writer Dave Greber: 
After being charged Nov. 13, Baker and the U.S. Attorney General&amp;#8217;s Office reached a plea deal on the misdemeanor charge of falsifying records. He is due in court Jan. 14.
Officials from the U.S. Attorney General&amp;#8217;s Office said Wednesday, Dec. 17, Baker escaped felony charges because he was not a member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge 1943 executive committee. He was, however, one of the members appointed by the local union&amp;#8217;s executive committee to pass out $150 defense fund checks for workers locked out of AK Steel&amp;#8217;s Middletown Works, according to Baker&amp;#8217;s plea agreement reached in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati.

&amp;#8220;The Chamber of Commerce serving Middletown, Monroe and Trenton will continue serving businesses in Monroe despite that city&amp;#8217;s decision to drop its membership.
Meanwhile, Monroe is considering forming its own chamber or partnering with another community to provide the service.
At a Monroe City Council meeting Tuesday, Dec. 9, council voted 6-0 to not renew its membership.&amp;#8221; Click here for the full story.
Do you feel it was a good idea for Monroe to pull away from Middletown&amp;#8217;s chamber? Should it create its own, or join another?
