Good morning, Kent.
🎓 Education
Brittany Dye was approved by the Board of Education as Crestwood’s new Athletic Director on July 8 and returns from Hiram College to lead local sports programs.

🏛️ Government
Brimfield Township is seeking a new fiscal officer as John Dalziel retires on Aug.
1 after 19 years in the role—he said his growing business needs required more focus. A committee of township and county officials will review three applications to select an interim officer until April 2028—candidates must run for election in November if they want to continue.
Ohio will have a two-week sales tax holiday starting Aug.
1 and ending Aug. 14, when nearly all items costing $500 or less—including food, clothing and electronics—will be tax free; online orders that meet the criteria will also be exempt. Officials say the extended holiday will help families get ready for back-to-school.
