The Madison-Plains Local School District (MPLSD) continued making headway in its work to fill vacant positions on Thursday evening, June 24, at a special Board of Education meeting.  Hiring was the main focus of the meeting, as the Board took action on several positions within the school district, but a few other items of business were also part of the meeting.  

The District made one administrative hire at the meeting, that being Mr. Thomas Dinuoscio for the position of assistant principal for the junior/senior high school.  Dinuoscio joins the district after having been at Northeastern Local Schools for the last six years, where he has served as the instrumental music director at Northeastern High/Middle School, as well as South Vienna Elementary School.  Prior to his time at Northeastern, Dinuoscio taught at Springfield City for a year.  He also taught at Mt. Gilead and Cardington Lincoln.  

The Madison-Plains Local School District (MPLSD) held their regularly scheduled board of education meeting on Tuesday, June 15, 2021.  Along with numerous other items, the district hired a number of new staff members for the coming academic year.  Of particular note, the district hired two new administrators.  Newly hired are Mr. Kyle Huffman, who will serve the district as its junior high/senior high school principal, and Mr. Matthew Welsh, who will serve as the district’s athletic director.  

Huffman joins the MPLSD team with sixteen years of experience as the high school principal at Triad Local Schools.  Prior to serving as a principal, he was a social studies teacher, also at Triad, for seven years.   MPLSD Superintendent Chad Eisler said, “We are excited to have Mr. Huffman join our team.  He is a veteran administrator, and his knowledge and experience in leading a building will be a benefit to our staff and our students.  He is a student-centered and compassionate leader who puts the needs of the students at the center of his decisions.”

Dear MPHS Senior Families,

Good afternoon!  As noted in previous communication, a decision on the location of commencement was to be made by noon today, Thursday, May 27, 2021.  I have been watching the forecast all week long and regularly checking for updates.  As of this morning, the forecast for tomorrow, Friday, May 28, 2021, calls for significant chances of thunderstorms and rain through the afternoon and evening hours up through the start time of commencement, which is at 7:00 p.m.  As such, we will need to have commencement indoors in the gym at MPHS.  

As a reminder, with commencement being indoors, graduates will be allowed to have four guests attend the ceremony in person.  We have planned to also provide a live stream of the ceremony so that other family members can watch at home.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Go Eagles!

Chad Eisler, Superintendent
Madison-Plains Local School District
