NEW WASHINGTON, OHIO (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW) — The Buckeye Central Board of Education met Tuesday night for its monthly meeting. The meeting opened with this year’s Bitty Bucks — students from the Buckeye Central preschool program — who sang a song for the board and created fairy gardens with members.
Joe Wiles has again been approved for the high school’s Purple Star designation. The district will hold the designation from 2026 to 2029 and will reapply in 2029.
