The Yellow Springs Board of Education has decided delay the start time for village schools by two hours on Wednesday, Jan. 8, due to cold weather and icy conditions.

All three tracts are zoned agricultural and are beyond Yellow Springs’ urban service boundary — that is, beyond the reach of municipal utilities. They are subject to the provisions of Miami Township’s zoning regulations, which require minimum lots of three acres and lot frontage of 300 continuous feet. 

From ongoing facilities improvements, transfers of school property to incoming and outgoing educators — 2024 was a great year for education in Yellow Springs.
