The East Central Ohio Educational Service Center celebrated the service of Phillip Shumacher during his last board meeting on Monday, Dec. 20. Shumacher has more than 35 years of board service in Tuscarawas County, 31 of those years with the ECOESC.
During his tenure Shumacher was on the board that approved the purchase and remodel of the current New Philadelphia office, which was formerly an IGA, and more recently the new Cambridge office.
Shumacher has seen the ESC through the transition from the county board of education to educational service center, a change that has brought on member districts from four additional counties outside of Tuscarawas.
“I truly feel that our current administration has put together a very good team,” Shumacher said. “It’s all about cooperation.”
He went on to say two of his biggest points of pride as a board member of the ESC are the alternative schools and the information technology services.
