OLIVE TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Jun 4, 2025) – There are two new members of the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District Board of Education.
During a Monday meeting, delegates from 10 of the 11 public school districts that make up this regional educational collaborative voted to give Rick Dernberger another full six-year term on the panel, along with choosing Jennifer Cymbola of Jenison for the other six-year term. Grand Haven’s John Siemion was tabbed to complete a partial term through mid-2027, while former state lawmaker Amanda Price failed to secure a seat. Dernberger and Siemion were unanimous choices, while Cymbola secured seven of the 10 votes ahead of Price.
The meeting came about a month after voters approved an 18-year renewal of the OAISD Special Education levy, raising it to 1.94 mills, with 59 percent of the vote.
