The Logan County Board of Developmental Disabilities (LCBDD) held its regularly scheduled meeting on May 1 at 5:30 p.m.
Before the meeting, board members participated in training by Jason Moyer, SSA Director, on what MUIs (Major Unusual Incidents) are and a review of the trends and patterns for 2024.
In financials, Kari Eckard, Business Director, presented the financial report for March, highlighting that expenses were at 19% and revenue was at 52% compared to the annual budget.
The revenue percentage was higher due to receiving the mobile home and real estate tax settlements.
Krista Oldiges, Superintendent, updated the board on the renovation project to turn the kitchen space at The Discovery Center into office space.
The kitchen was tested, and no asbestos was found, allowing the project to be advertised for public bids in 3 to 6 weeks.
The results of a recent community survey were shared with board members.
The survey, which was completed by community members, stakeholders, and individuals and families served, provided valuable insights into the impact and effectiveness of LCBDD’s services.
The majority of responses were overwhelmingly positive, highlighting strong community support.
Oldiges announced that there would be a Retirement Open House held on May 27 from 3:30 – 5:00 pm for Deb Shotts and Jill Butler.
The community, former and current co-workers, past and current students, and their families are all invited to stop by to share memories and well wishes.
Oldiges also announced the launch of the Learning Logan County Summer Day Camp for youth ages 12 to 17 who receive services from the board.
The first session will take place on June 4 from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
Camp activities will include field trips, business tours, skill development, and training sessions designed to build confidence, independence, and real-world knowledge.
RSVP is required to attend the sessions.

Moyer reported that he is in the process of applying for a couple of grants for the Logan County Board of DD Foundation that can be utilized to assist individuals served.
Staci Nichols, Human Resources Director, reported on staffing updates, including three open teaching positions.
Interviews are currently being conducted to fill those positions.
The board reviewed and approved new position descriptions for two roles following the resignation of Hannah Boy, Therapy Services Coordinator.
Rather than replacing the position directly, the management team recommended restructuring the role into two separate positions to better support the preschool’s needs.
The board approved the creation of a part-time Occupational Therapist position (four days per week) and a Preschool Manager position.
Those interested in applying may contact Nichols at [email protected].
