Community prepares to say 'good bye' to beloved principal

Madeira City Schools will be closed Monday, May 1 for the funeral of Chris Flanagan, an elementary school principal who died unexpectedly. The district canceled classes Tuesday, April 25 — the day after Flanagan's death — to give students and staff time to process his passing. Now, they plan on celebrating his life with a "Route of Remembrance" starting at 8:30 a.m. Monday.
