Education Insider: Ohio State holds stadium seat for POW-MIA

From this season on, every Ohio Stadium sellout will come with an asterisk: The black chair in the first row of Section 3AA isn’t for sale. It will remain empty, as a tribute to prisoners of war and service members missing in action.

Ohio State University officials recently unveiled the chair, emblazoned with the POW-MIA logo. Officials chose the location, where ROTC members sit during games, for its visibility.

Ohio State currently has more than 2,000 military and veteran students.

Hamilton Local Schools near Obetz gained a new Board of Education member Monday night. Jeffrey Sewell, a lifelong district resident and well-known volunteer in the schools, was sworn in to finish a term that will expire on Jan.
