The YS Board of Education held its first meeting of the year Thursday, Jan. 8, during which three new board members — Paul Herzog, Kristi Nowack Myers and Kim Reichelderfer — were sworn in.
With the new board members came the election of new board leadership, with Amy Bailey appointed as president and Nowack Myers as vice president. The school board also elected a new day and time for its regular meetings moving forward: regular meetings will now be held on the second Wednesday of each month, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Having settled this first-of-the-year business, Superintendent Terri Holden later opened discussion about another proposed timing change: a later start for Mills Lawn students and an earlier one for YS Middle and High School students beginning next school year.
The proposal, researched and compiled by Assistant Superintendent Megan Winston, laid out the district’s preliminary case for start time changes beginning in the 2026–27 school year, when the facilities project is slated to be completed. Next school year, the Mills Lawn campus will host students in kindergarten–fourth grade, while students in grades 5–12 will attend YS Middle and High School.
The proposed new timing schedule would shift Mills Lawn students, who currently attend school from 8 a.m.–2:30 p.m., 15 minutes later, establishing a schedule of 8:15 a.m.–2:45 p.m. According to the proposal from Winston and Holden, shifting the day will allow Mills Lawn teachers more time to arrive ahead of students.
“The current issue at Mills Lawn is that in the morning, students arrive [at the same time as] teachers,” Holden said. “If you’re a teacher, it’s really hard to get in your room at the same time students are there. This would help us with supervision.”
At the middle and high schools, Holden cited a need for an earlier end to the day for students: Because students and teachers dismiss at the same time, there’s often not adequate time, she said, for “collaboration, planning and student support.” For that reason, district leaders aim to shift the middle and high school day from 8:30 a.m.–-3:30 p.m. to 8 a.m.-–3 p.m.
Nestling the Mills Lawn school day within that of the middle and high schools, according to the proposal, would also help align staff schedules during each school day: with fifth and sixth graders moving to the East Enon Road campus, several Mills Lawn employees — including music, art, physical education and counseling staff — will need to travel between campuses to engage with the middle school’s youngest students.
Holden also cited middle and high school athletics as a reason for the proposed time change. Because middle and high schools in neighboring school districts in Greene County all begin their days between 7:20 a.m. and 8 a.m., YS Middle and High School athletes are sometimes excused early from class so that they can compete in away games. According to the proposal, there have been 23 early dismissals for middle and high school athletes this school year.
The proposal also noted that changing start and end times at both campuses could enable the district to consolidate its student bus routes, with students from both campuses riding together.
“We know that we have had driver shortage issues, like every other district around for a couple of years,” Holden said. “This will help reduce our bus mileage, allow us to run fewer routes and allow us to use the few drivers that we have more efficiently.”
Over the last three decades, start and end times at Yellow Springs Schools have changed a number of times. One of the most significant changes was made in the fall of 2006, when the district lengthened the school day for Mills Lawn students, shifting from 8:30 a.m.–2:45 p.m. to 8:10 a.m.–2:50 p.m. The same year, middle and high schoolers moved to a later start, with the middle schoolers shifting from an 8:05 a.m. start to an 8:50 a.m. start, and high schoolers from an 8:15 a.m. start to an 8:55 a.m. start, with all students at East Enon Road dismissed at 3:25 p.m. The current schedule for both campuses was adopted in fall 2020.
The 2006 timing change, as reported in the News that year, was two-fold: Then-principal of Mills Lawn, Christine Hatton, cited a need for more instructional time in “not only the core subject area but also in the ‘specialist’ classes, including music and art.” For the middle and high schools, then-Principal John Gudgel cited studies showing that adolescents often naturally fall asleep later and wake up later, and perform better academically with more rest; he also noted that the top “discipline problem” at the time was tardiness, which he said was often the “direct result of students oversleeping.”
Holden pointed to the 2006 change, particularly at the middle and high schools, when presenting the proposal.
“I know prior to my arrival, the district did a lot of study about what’s best for start times for adolescents, for their development, for their sleep patterns,” she said. “We are aware of what the research says, so we’re not asking to start at 7:20 or 7:45. We’re asking to split the difference.”
Holden also said that some district parents may have concerns about younger and older students riding the bus together; to that end, she pointed out that there had been 11 reported behavioral incidents on district busses since August 2024, with 73% of those incidents involving students in grades K–6 and 27% involving students in grades 7–12.
“We want to have a discussion that is data-based, where we acknowledge that sometimes it’s scary, but we can also acknowledge that it may not be as we perceive,” she said. “There’s a false narrative that older students are bad. … We think our older students can model appropriate behavior.”
Winston added that the district aims to respond to questions and concerns from parents about the proposed plan, and asked that folks reach out to district leadership via email at communications@ysschools.org.
“Respectfully, I ask the community to use the email address and ask questions through that [email address] versus going to social media, where that can fuel emotions and we don’t have the capacity to reply and to address those concerns,” she said.
A board work session, set for Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 6 p.m., will focus on discussing the proposed school start and end time change and bussing plan. The school board noted that there will be time for public comment during the work session.
In other school district news:
• As was decided at the December regular meeting, the school board appointed two of its members — Nowack Myers and Rebecca Potter — to serve as legislative liaisons to the board, keeping an eye on state and federal legislation that might affect YS Schools.
• Mills Lawn Principal Becca Huber welcomed new music teacher Colleen Green to the district. Green has 16 years of experience behind her, having spent seven years teaching elementary school music and five teaching middle school choir and general music, both in Indiana. For the last four years, Green has been a mental wellness behavior consultant for the Montgomery County Educational Service Center.
“I feel incredibly privileged and grateful to have been invited to join such a warm and welcoming and arts-focused community,” Green said during the meeting. “I’m so excited to get back into the music classroom.”
• Mills Lawn Student Council representatives London Sylvester, Clover Stephens and Dahlia Espinosa gave a brief presentation on leading a recent food drive effort at the school. Over the month of December, students donated 1,497 food items, which were collected by the Student Council and delivered to the YS Food Pantry at Central Chapel AME Church. A concurrent food drive at the middle and high schools collected more than 800 food items.
The results are in from one of the longest-running, civilian-led scientific initiatives — the annual Christmas Bird Count.
Flocks of keen-eyed hikers, veteran birders and pedestrian ornithologists fanned out across 48 Greene County sites on Saturday, Jan. 3, with a straight-forward mission of logging every bird they saw.
This year, participants spotted a total of 10,493 individual birds from 67 unique species.
That’s the most species participants have found in one year, said local count organizer and Glen Helen Executive Director Nick Boutis.
It was a big year in Greene County for some species — a “veritable red-hot sapsucker winter,” Boutis noted. For the third year in a row, counters spotted a merlin, which is a relatively uncommon falcon for the area. Other novel birds included a herring gull, a red-breasted nuthatch, a fox sparrow and two bald eagles.
Unsurprisingly, the common grackle, European starling, American robin and Canada goose were the most frequently spotted.
This was the 126th year of the bird count, which is organized by the National Audubon Society. Glen Helen began participating in county efforts in 2010, and has been coordinating local efforts since then in collaboration with the Beaver Creek Wetlands Association, Greene County Parks and Trails and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
The 51 birders who participated this year were spread out from individual backyards with bird feeders to large areas like the Glen, which Boutis explained was divvied up between five search parties.
Boutis said the year’s high count could be explained by several factors:
• A growing number of skilled observers in Greene County;
• A growing quantity of healthy protected areas in Greene County, thus providing adequate habitat for a greater diversity of wildlife;
• Owing to that increase in wildlife, there’s more to see in the natural world, thereby drawing more people to look for birds and other wildlife; and
• From that boon in public interest, so grows the interest in protecting natural habitats, which in turn leads to the growth in the abundance and diversity of birds.
“Lather, rinse, repeat,” Boutis said.

With a few strokes of a pen, it became official Friday, Jan. 9: Yellow Springs Development Corporation purchased the downtown buildings at 252 and 254 Xenia Avenue.
In doing so, YSDC assumed ownership of two vacant storefronts — most recently Yellow Springs Hardware and the Yellow Springs Toy Company — as well as the six residential apartments on the second stories of the two properties.
YSDC, a quasi-governmental nonprofit and community improvement corporation, bought the adjoining properties from the trustees of the estate of the late Bob Baldwin for $630,000 — money loaned to YSDC from Yellow Springs Community Foundation.
As previously reported in the News, YSDC members sought to purchase the buildings in the interest of economic development in the downtown corridor, and to maintain local control over their fate — that is, beating out-of-town buyers to the purchase.
What’s next for the properties — specifically what will occupy the ground floors — remains to be seen, YSDC representatives told the News earlier this week. What is certain, though, is that the six tenants upstairs are not in imminent jeopardy of losing their apartments, despite the change in ownership.
“Nor are their rents going up,” YSDC Executive Director Lisa Abel said.
Overseeing the living situations for the tenants and collecting their rents on behalf of YSDC is a newly hired property manager, Kimberly Wattermann, who said she intends to disturb the ongoing rental agreements as little as possible.
“I think we all have the best interests of the tenants at heart,” she said.
Wattermann has been a property manager in the Dayton area for 35 years. Locally, she has managed rental agreements for dozens of homes in Yellow Springs over the years, and she also manages some student apartments near Wright State.
Wattermann added that, should YSDC renovate its properties so extensively in the future that the tenants would need to temporarily vacate their apartments, she would directly assist in rehoming those six individuals.
“Since I’ve been doing this so long, I’ve been through most scenarios you can imagine,” she said. “But this is still a unique situation. I think I can help, provided I have direction from YSDC.”

According to the findings of a number of site surveys and evaluations, the buildings will require considerable repairs and renovations.
Ahead of Friday’s purchase, YSDC sought the following consultations: a structural engineering survey, asbestos evaluation, architectural assessment, fire safety report from Miami Township Fire-Rescue, environmental impact study, as well as surveys on the buildings’ roofs and electrical and plumbing systems.
Taken together, these studies were what Abel and other YSDC members have, up to this point, referred to as their “due diligence” phase of the project.
While the two buildings are in a “prime location and have historical relevance to the community,” the architectural assessment notes, they have nevertheless “suffered the consequences of continuous deferred maintenance over a long period of time.”
According to county records, the three-story brick building at 252 Xenia Ave. was built around 1853, and is one of the oldest buildings in Yellow Springs. The adjoining structure at 254 was built sometime in the following decades; a Yellow Springs insurance map from July 1895 depicts both buildings in their current locations.
The architectural assessment — penned by Earl Reeder Associates — continues: “A successful restoration would require a measured approach, beginning with correcting the most serious liabilities.”
Those include rectifying:
• Structural issues with the buildings’ foundations — particularly in the corners, and as evidenced by cracks in walls, bowing bricks and warped floors in the upper levels due to overloading;
• Asbestos in the plaster and flooring;
• Old “knob-and-tube” electricity circuits, with exposed wires and outdated panels;
• Undersized water service lines;
• A deteriorating and leaky aluminum roof;
• Out-of-code egresses from the residential spaces;
• Standing water in the basement;
Additionally, the fire report found that the buildings were not in compliance with code on eight counts, including broken or outdated exit signs, an insufficient number of alarms and amount of lighting in hallways, as well as a fire escape that doesn’t fully reach the ground.
It’s a daunting list of to-dos, but Abel remains steadfast.
“There’s nothing in these reports that we find insurmountable,” she said. “Sure, there are some nights when I lie awake at 3 in the morning wondering how this will all work. But then there are these moments when I get so excited about the opportunity we have here to bring something really cool to Yellow Springs — that we can make this work.”
YSDC Board President Michael Slaughter was inclined to agree with Abel — fixing up old buildings is just a part of living in Yellow Springs, he said.
“That’s just how it is here,” Slaughter said. “And you don’t see folks tearing down their old homes, do you?”
Slaughter said that, at an earlier stage in the buying process, YSDC had approached the Baldwins with an offer lower than the asking price, owing to the extensive anticipated repairs. The Baldwins declined the offer with the intention to sell the buildings “as is,” and YSDC’s purchasing agent — village resident Shelly Blackman — advised YSDC members against continuing to pursue a lower-cost sale. According to Slaughter, repeatedly asking for a lower cost could have spurred the Baldwins putting the buildings up for auction.
But that didn’t happen, and now, with the keys in YSDC’s hands, some of the needed improvements are underway.
Recently, YSDC members have installed more fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and brought in additional fire extinguishers. Soon, there will be more hall lights and better exit signs. Also brought into the mix is village electrician Paul Larkowski, who was recently tasked with replacing the old “knob-and-tube” wiring.
Meanwhile, YSDC is still actively searching for a project manager — a paid position that, according to the job listing, will “lead the predevelopment process, including due diligence, planning, financial analysis and stakeholder coordination.” The project manager’s work will ultimately “culminate in a development recommendation and construction readiness.”
Beyond making structural improvements and complying with codes, there’s still the tailor-made renovations needed for whatever eventually occupies the downstairs retail spaces. Past suggestions from inquiring villagers have included a local history museum, a visitor’s center, another hardware store, a gathering space, a unique retailer and more.
For now, nothing is determined and anything is possible, Abel said.
“We have quite a bit of flexibility,” Abel pointed out. “The two-year bridge loan from the Community Foundation also buys us a good amount of time to hear more from the community — What do you want? What do you not want? We have two years to figure that out before the foundation collects their note.”
Slaughter added: “So, this means we have time to hold more town halls, have more conversations with folks. In a lot of ways, we’re trying to do this project differently than other recent ones that have happened in town. There have been recent happenings where someone comes in, says, “This is the plan,” and they go forward without any community input. We’re trying to do the right thing and involve the village in this process.”
To that end, a second town hall regarding the fate of 252 and 254 Xenia Ave. has been set for Wednesday, Feb. 11, 6-8 p.m., in the John Bryan Community Center. Like the previous town hall earlier this winter, this will be another chance for village residents to articulate their wants and visions for the downtown spaces, Abel said.
Mike Montgomery didn’t plan to be the kind of executive director who stays behind a desk.
“I’m involved in everything,” he said. “I don’t have that corporate structure of a lot of my peers.”
This week, after more than eight years leading the nonprofit Friends Care Community, Montgomery is stepping out from behind the desk one last time, officially retiring from the position Friday, Jan. 9. In speaking with the News last month, he said he had expected to stay in the position “maybe a couple more years,” but that illness within his family has pulled the timeline forward.
“The board has enabled me to retire earlier than I had planned,” he said.
Montgomery’s departure from Friends Care comes during a time when long-term care is getting more expensive to operate, harder to staff and, he said, more dominated by corporations that can centralize services and spread costs.
“Especially on the for-profit side [of long-term care], many of them own not just four or five buildings in Dayton, but maybe 45 buildings in eight or nine states,” he said. “That’s one reason I wanted to be here; I prefer the independence that we have here.”
In his time at the helm of Friends Care, Montgomery said he’s learned that independence can protect something hard to measure: a facility’s ability to respond to the people who live and work there, rather than directives from far away.
“In other places, you might have somebody who comes up with something simple, like menu plans, and they’re out in New York; that might be great food for New York, but, you know, we’re meat and potatoes people here,” he said. “Dictates from outside the community just don’t work.”
As it happens, during his first years as executive director at Friends Care — a position he came into in 2017 after 13 years at the nonprofit, faith-based Grace Brethren Village, in Dayton — food service for residents was one of a number of issues Montgomery tackled to help boost morale for both residents and staff members. In addition to bringing food service back in-house to improve meal quality, Montgomery also worked to stabilize staff levels and hired more permanent staff, as well as overseeing feasibility studies for future expansion and spearheading renovation of the facility’s front entrance to make it more welcoming to visitors.
He also promoted longtime Friends Care employee Hannah Moorman early in his tenure, and for much of his time at Friends Care, she has been one of his closest operational partners. Moorman has been at Friends Care for 13 years, beginning as a licensed practical nurse before moving to management positions. After she received her registered nurse licensure, Moorman said, Montgomery hired her as director of nursing within a few months of his becoming executive director.
“He did not know me from Adam,” Moorman said. “He just said, ‘I see something in you, and I think you could do great things, and you’ve got the heart for long-term care.’”
Moorman said that her position and Montgomery’s have been complementary, and as such, she’s learned a lot from his people-first style of administration — an approach she said she shares — and that both jobs require “a lot of patience.”
“And he has taught me that you don’t have to know everything, and it’s OK to ask questions,” she said. “When there were times I felt like I failed, he told me it’s part of the process and lessons will be learned every day. He allowed me to be able to grow and learn. Keeping residents at the center, which is what I have always done — he’s done that as well.”
Working to maintain a staff who keep residents at the center of their approach has been a consistent during his tenure, Montgomery said, even as wage increases haven’t been matched by comparable increases in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements from the state and federal governments. Though Friends Care has kept on board a number of long-term employees, like Moorman, the rising difficulty of retaining a full staff has been “the biggest change” during his time at the helm.
“In the past, I would always do wage studies against other facilities; now I have to do them against Walmart, against McDonald’s, because everybody’s competing for the same employees,” he said. “Ever since COVID, staffing has been hard.”
Montgomery cited the pandemic as the defining challenge of his career with Friends Care. Though he said protecting the organization’s resident-centered mission while keeping it financially stable in an industry that increasingly rewards scale and revenue has always been part of the job, the pandemic years brought that work into sharp relief, while also presenting a host of other hurdles. He credited Friends Care’s board, which by design draws representation both from Quakers and the broader village population, with helping the facility eventually clear that hurdle.
“We had no COVID cases [during lockdown] for our residents, but some of our staff members had COVID,” he said. “[The board] said, ‘We don’t have to fill a bed if we don’t have the staff’ — if we had been on the for-profit side, they would have wanted the revenue in here from a filled bed.”
Moorman said Friends Care’s goal during COVID was to keep residents safe, and that both she and Montgomery stood firm behind that goal.
“It made us one of the last 64 facilities in the country to get COVID,” she said. “We didn’t lose people to COVID.”
Though Montgomery said he looks back on the worst of the pandemic with a sense of pride at keeping residents safe, when he was in the thick of it, it was one of the most difficult times of his life.
“I’d always loved this work,” he said. “And then once COVID hit, I felt like I became a police officer: ‘You can’t come in the building. Are you wearing your mask? Do you have your vaccines? Did you wash your hands?’”
And though staffing and supply shortages were part and parcel of the pandemic experience, he said, the most painful task was telling families they couldn’t come visit their loved ones.
“One of my hardest days was the visitor ban,” he said. “That was my worst day, because I had to tell people, ‘You’re not allowed to see your mom.’ That’s not what I signed up to do.”
And yet, he said, those same months deepened his connection to the residents and staff. With families kept out and staff stretched thin, he said, the work became more personal — sometimes literally, as staff stepped into roles outside their usual duties.
“I really got close to our residents, because I was out passing out meals and helping on the floor,” he said. “We became their family.”
He pointed to a tradition he said reflects Friends Care’s culture: “When somebody passes away, here, they do what’s called the ‘walk of honor.’ All our staff line the halls. And especially during COVID, because I got so close to them, when they passed, it really hit home — not that it didn’t before, but by that point, I was their family; it was the same with all the staff, not just me.”
Montgomery’s respect and visibility are also what Friends Care board members say they’ve heard about, consistently, from residents, families and staff. Diane Chiddister, the longest-serving current board member, said Montgomery’s approach has been defined by “a lot of caring and attention and the Quaker value of respect for the individual.” She said residents have noticed that he has been present on the campus and willing to listen.
“That wasn’t always the case with previous directors,” she said. “Respect for residents and staff is just Mike’s style.”
Kristine Hofstra, who joined the Friends Care board in October 2024, said Montgomery has been “passionate about the care of the residents and really keeping morale up within the staff, making them feel supported.”
With Montgomery’s departure, Friends Care will move into an intentional transition period. An interim executive director is set to take over from Montgomery temporarily; Chiddister said the interim director was recommended by AQORD, a senior services network created through a merger between the former Mennonite MHS Association and the Quaker friends Services Alliance, and that the board will launch a search for a permanent replacement during the interim period. Hofstra added that the board hopes the interim director will “bring a fresh perspective” and help the board “hone a solid strategic plan.”
“When you’re used to how things have been run, and especially if they’ve been run well, it can be difficult to hear new ideas, but I think it will open up new energy,” she said. “It’s hard to see Mike go, but we’re optimistic about the future.”
Moorman agreed: “I think working with someone that I don’t have a relationship with yet and fresh eyes is going to be a really good thing for us — and good for me,” she said.
Moorman’s role during the transition is also shifting. Last year, she stepped down as director of nursing to complete the residency required for state licensure as an administrator, and she said she will work closely with the interim executive director during the final months of that program. At present, her title is assistant director of nursing, and the former assistant director has stepped into Moorman’s former role as director.
Ultimately, Moorman said she aims to apply for the executive director position once the board launches its search, though she pointed out that following in Montgomery’s footsteps is by no means a foregone conclusion.
“The board wants to do their due diligence,” she said. “I’ve never been an executive director before, which I respect. … But there isn’t really anything in this building that I’ve not done.”
Looking ahead at retirement, Montgomery said he and his wife plan to spend part of each coming year in Florida, where his wife’s father lives.
“He’s a snowbird, so we’ll come back up here and he’ll live with us during the warm months,” he said.
And though he doesn’t intend to return to a full-time position, because Montgomery maintains his administrative license, he said there’s the possibility that he might serve temporarily as an interim director at another long-term care facility in the future.
“But honestly, I feel I’m at a place where I’m OK with retirement — I think I’m ready,” he said. “I think I’ll spend some time being a kid again, playing golf and softball and running marathons.”
As he prepared for his final day at Friends Care, transferring login credentials and accounts out of his name, Montgomery described it as the kind of place he wants to see thriving — and still independent — a decade, two decades from now.
“If you value what Friends offers you here,” he said, “start supporting us now.”
And he said he knows what he’ll miss most: “I’ll miss the people. Without a doubt.”
The News will follow-up with board members on more of what’s ahead for Friends Care in a future issue of the News.
