Oswego School District Considering Moving Offices Into Leighton, Relocating OHS Main Office
The Oswego City School District’s central offices will likely relocate into a section of the Leighton Elementary School, pending the sale of the Education Center. The plan would also include relocation of the high school’s main office to make room for the technology department. “Certainly we’re not going to take a loss on the sale of the Education Center. If we don’t find a happy balance where we net a significant amount of money, we’ll hold on to it,” Superintendent Dr. Dean Goewey said.

Supermodified Semi-Finals a Factor in Oswego Speedway Track Championship
The return of Oswego Speedway’s Novelis Supermodified semi-final features will play a role in the 2016 point chase, as the extra added 15-lap qualifiers will award points this year toward the overall driver’s championship. In 2015, the semi-finals were run merely as a line-up dash, with the winners starting on the front row for the main event. This weekend however, the races will award championship points, with the top 12 finishers re-handicapped into the night’s 45-lap main event as was done for so many years at the Steel Palace.
