Staff Spotlight
Name: Gregory Rogers
Title: Township Administrator
Years of service: 21

Township Administrator Gregory Rogers recently had the honor of attending the Reserve Component National Security Course, located at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. Rogers is an active reservist in the U.S. Coast Guard and holds the rank of lieutenant commander.

The intensive two-week seminar is offered to officers who are selected by their service because they demonstrate potential for positions of increased management and leadership responsibility.

“This course provided an outstanding perspective on strategic decision making that is beneficial to both my military career and in my role as township administrator,” Rogers said.

The board of trustees would like to congratulate Greg on this accomplishment and thank him for his service to both the country and the township.

Back to School Road Safety
Source: National Safe Routes to School
School is back in session. Taking simple precautions on the road can help keep children safe:

  • Do not pass a school bus on an undivided road in either direction while it is loading and unloading children

  • Do not block the crosswalk with your car. It forces pedestrians into the path of moving traffic

  • School zone flashers blinking? Stop, pay attention and yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk or intersection

  • Slow down anywhere children might be walking

  • Maintain a safe distance following a school bus and give it space while stopped. The area 10 feet around a bus is considered the most dangerous for children
