OTTAWA HILLS, Ohio — Ottawa Hills Local Schools treasurer Bradley Browne submitted a revised letter of resignation to the district board of education last week, requesting to move his final day with the district up by over two months from his originally scheduled final date, which he submitted in late September

According to the amended letter of resignation and a board meeting agenda, the Ottawa Hills Board of Education will vote on Browne's updated resignation date during a special meeting Wednesday. Browne was initially slated to serve in his position until Dec. 31 of this year. Per the latest letter addressed to the board, his final day, if approved, will be Oct. 20. A reason for Browne's resignation was not given. 

During the meeting, board members will also vote on a contract for Cajon Keeton, who is expected to serve as the district's interim treasurer. Keeton currently works as treasurer for Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools, the district confirmed. 

"At B-C-S we pride ourselves at being one of the top academic schools in northwest Ohio," Keeton said in a press release. "I am excited to gain experience from another top performing school in Ohio."

In a statement, B-C-S administrators expressed gratitude for Keeton's work and said they would approve a shared service agreement to allow Keeton to remain at B-C-S while also working for Ottawa Hills. 

Board members will also vote on the unpaid leave of absence request of Ottawa Hills Athletic Director Tammy Talmage, who was arrested earlier this month and arrested and charged with three counts of assault, domestic violence and strangulation.
