Native American History
History | EDSITEment | National Archives | Library of Congress
Native American Veterans
"American Indians" have eagerly served a government which did not always keep its word to their ancestors. They have volunteered to serve in conflicts from World War II to Iraq. Veterans History Project
"American Indian" Records in the National Archives
The National Archives holds hundreds of thousands of U.S. Government records relating to Native Americans, from as early as 1774 through the mid-1990s. These include every treaty signed with Native Americans, records from the Indian Schools, Indian Census Rolls, and Bureau of Indian Affairs records.
Caregiver Month:
November is Caregivers Month (for families with children with special needs). Many families without students with special needs do not know the daily impact and demands of being a caregiver to a child with special needs. Many parent caregivers can feel invisible, isolated, or ignored in our society, and in the education system. Below is a documentary that gives a glimpse into the lives of those caring for disabled children and adults. If you are in a building with caregiver families, this is a great month to reach out to them. Go to: https://caregiverdoc.com/ to learn more.

2023 GENERAL ELECTION | NOVEMBER 7, 2023
Issue 11 Levy Facts
The District placed a combined 7.7 mill levy (4.7 mill) Permanent Improvement Levy and a (3.0 mill) Operating Levy on the November 7, 2023 ballot.
Based on current values, the 7.7 mill levy would cost a property owner $269.50 annually per $100,000 of appraised value. Due to property value changes resulting from the 2023 reappraisal process, the cost per $100,000 of appraised value will be less than this calculated amount. To determine the estimated levy cost for your property, please visit the Franklin County Auditor's Levy Estimator website.
The Columbus Board of Education passed a resolution during its September 19 business meeting that focuses on:
Advance Student Achievement
Modernize District Facilities
Enhance Whole Child Supports
“The federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds allowed us to propel this work at lightning pace. Now it’s time for us to reexamine and incorporate this into our everyday business functions,” said Columbus City Schools Superintendent/CEO Dr. Angela Chapman. “This would maintain our momentum. We want to make many of these improvements permanent. This ask represents one-third of the Operating funding the District received from ESSER.”
The District has been fiscally responsible with taxpayer dollars, staying off the ballot for the past seven years. During the September 19 Board meeting, the District’s Administration provided the Board with a statement of facts/information about the District’s needs and the implications for the School District of the levy passing or failing:
Franklinton Fridays
On the second Friday of each month from 6-10 pm, November 10th, come experience a neighborhood-wide celebration of art, performance, and community. Mingle from location to location and come to know all that Franklinton has to offer.
