When he worked at CCBC, he was even better," Bahm said.

Bahm said while the phrase has become somewhat of a cliché, Vochko was one of the first educators who truly cared about reaching all the kids in a school system.
...
Vochko's 20-year tenure as superintendent, Bahm said, proves it.

County Commissioners Chairman Dan Donatella, Midland School District Superintendent Nick Trombetta and Midland School Board President Marvin Bahm came away with the promise after a 90-minute meeting with the governor and his wife, U.S.

Shirley Betz of the Freedom Area School District was retained as president, Barbara Heyman of Freedom Area is vice president, Marvin Bahm of the Midland School District is secretary and Grayce Ricci of the Blackhawk School District is treasurer.

In a letter to the commissioners , trustee President Marvin Bahm described the proposed dissolution of his board as unfair and asked the commissioners to hold off on their vote until the two sides can negotiate terms.However , Donatella and Camp are not willing to negotiate.

What we're doing is in response to Community College trustees , Camp said.They sought us out over a year ago and asked us for help.It's not a hostile takeover.Now here are the terms that we as stewards of the county can offer to help..

Their study confirmed what everyone else had been saying , school board President Marvin Bahm said Monday.He was referring to numerous unsuccessful attempts by private development firms to convert the building to condominium units or assisted-living apartments.

Renovating it is too expensive , Bahm said.

Midland will begin lobbying for its arts center at an Oct. 25 reception at the middle school , during which Midland will announce its intention to conduct a yearlong study on the interest in , and concerns about , an academy for the performing arts.

A committee of educators and government officials from around the county will meet monthly to discuss the center and how it would be funded.

Already , a few local school superintendents are feeling uneasy about the indefinite plans to build a county arts center in Midland.

Midland School Board President Marvin Bahm said last month that he had reservations about the takeover because it would reduce the size of the college's governing board from 15 members - one member per school district - to nine , and could eliminate Midland's trustee representation.

This month , there was no such discussion.The takeover , which would allow the county to assume sponsorship of CCBC by dedicating up to $4 million in tax money annually to the operation of the college , was approved unanimously by the Midland board.

Marvin Bahm , longtime Midland School Board president and chairman of the CCBC trustees , and Midland school board Vice President Daniel Zuppe laid out their main concerns in a letter to county Commissioner Dan Donatella.
...
Bahm said that while he agrees in concept to the county takeover of the financially strapped school , he questions the details of the deal set forth by commissioners.

We want representation , Bahm said.We put a lot of money into the college over 35 years.We built the campus..When asked whether he was worried about losing his seat on the board , Bahm said , We all are..

Bahm stopped short of saying he would vote against the plan.I can't really comment on that , he said.We'll have a lot of talking to do before we vote on the issue..

The county sponsorship agreement will be on Midland's meeting agenda Monday , but the board will likely table a final vote on the agreement until October to see how other districts vote.Freedom Area School Board was the first board to vote on the agreement and approved it on Thursday night.

One letter is addressed to Marvin Bahm, president of the Midland school board.

The trustees will still have a say in the process , but Marvin Bahm , chairman of the board , said the commissioners haven't been forthcoming in the days leading up to Wednesday's vote.

We don't know what they are going to be voting on , and it looks as if we won't know until that public meeting Wednesday morning , Bahm said.I was told by the commissioners that we'd have three meetings with their committee , and there haven't been any meetings.I was told we would negotiate any agreements , and there hasn't been any negotiation.

We all support the idea of county sponsorship , but this has been a slap in the face..

Trustees also contest the county's position that the college is financially troubled.
