New KCH Administrator Looks To The Future

Kosciusko Community Hospital's new chief executive officer said Monday it's too early to tell what, if any, weaknesses the hospital has that need to be addressed. He's still meeting with management and physicians and learning about the hospital. "Until I get input and comments" from the hospital board and staff, "I couldn't tell you what the weaknesses are," said Michael L.Mullins, 38. He said he doesn't see many weaknesses and he gives credit for that to former KCH CEO Wayne Hendrix, who retired July 1. A thorough review of the hospital needs to be performed first, Mullins said, and then he, the advisory board and the medical staff can "carve out a vision for the hospital together." Mullins grew up in El Paso, Texas.His father was in the military, so his family moved around a lot, he said.

Wawasee Assembles Data Base Of Test Info

SYRACUSE - Wawasee Schools has turned piles of data into easily accessible information, Superintendent Dr.Mark Stock said Tuesday during the regular school board meeting. "What I'm excited about this year is that we're actually using most of the data," data technician Robert Cockburn said."We're getting it into the hands of the teachers." Previously, individual data collected from ISTEP tests and district-wide assessments was stored in each student's file.A teacher's ability to see patterns or deficiencies in multiple students was limited because of how widespread the information was. Now that information is charted in easy-to-read graphs.Teachers can look at a three-year summary of how their students did on various tests.This information also is broken down to show how students did in accomplishing particular learning goals and in achieving academic benchmarks set by the district.
