The mild declines in listing price and price per square foot suggest a gently cooling market, though values remain steady compared to earlier this year.

Looking Ahead
With stable pricing and a slower seasonal pace, Bedford’s real estate market remains balanced as the year winds down. Buyers may find more time to compare homes, while sellers who remain flexible can still attract strong interest heading into winter. Contact Keisha Wagner for more information.

Bedford, OH – November 20, 2025 – “The Bedford Education Association has no confidence in the vision, leadership, and direction of Superintendent Cassandra Johnson. Events over the past several years have solidified the need for a change in leadership.” That was the resolution presented at the Bedford Board of Education meeting Thursday following a unanimous vote by the Bedford Education Association (BEA) Executive Board on Monday. The full BEA membership voted on October 23 to authorize the Executive Board to take this action if it became necessary. This is the first time the Association has ever voted “No Confidence” in the administration.

“We understand the enormity of this vote and did not arrive at the decision hastily,” said BEA President Trish Duncan. “Our Association wants nothing more than to work together with Dr. Johnson to deliver the high-quality education our students deserve, but the lack of support and visibility from Dr. Johnson central office have been profoundly disappointing. It is unfortunate that Dr. Johnson chooses to ignore the history of this excellent school district that was built in a spirit of successful collaboration with BEA.”

This vote is not intended as a lack of confidence in our teachers, other district staff, our students, or our entire community, who the members of BEA vehemently support. The vote of No Confidence is prompted by the continued over-the-top disciplinary actions
against Bedford educators, numerous contract violations, as well as many situations leading to fruitless labor-management discussions, all of which take valuable time away from BEA members’ most important focus: student learning.

“A number of staff have expressed to me their interest to move districts, retire or just quit due to the stressful and unprofessional work environment created by Dr. Johnson’s leadership, as well as the constant fear that the slightest honest mistake will lead to
months-long investigations and ultimate ‘resign or be terminated’ outcome,” added Duncan. “The disconnect and lack of support from the superintendent coupled with an anxiety-ridden workplace is disheartening to our staff and distracting from our mission of meeting students’ needs.”

“The actions and decisions of this superintendent have led to an all-time low in staff morale and have undermined the quality of working and learning conditions in the district. These conditions are not sustainable if we are to continue to deliver the highest
quality instruction to the students of this community,” Duncan said. “It is time for a change.”

Those who knew Counciman Asbury describe him as a constant source of strength—someone who made everyone feel valued, listened to, and supported. Whether offering advice, lending a hand, or simply sitting with someone through a difficult moment, Councilman Asbury had a rare way of making people feel like they mattered.

His loss has left an immeasurable void for his family. To help them navigate the emotional and financial challenges ahead, a GoFundMe fundraiser has been created. Community members wishing to donate can do so here: https://gofund.me/a6d0b2d9d. Two messages were posted on the fundraiser page—one from his daughter, Shannon, and another from family friend Tori Welms, who organized the fundraiser—each sharing their love, gratitude, and reflections on Councilman Asbury’s life.

Tori wrote about Councilman Asbury’s deep commitment to his family and to the Bedford community, describing him as a devoted husband, proud father and grandfather, and a loyal friend whose sincerity and support lifted everyone he knew. She encouraged the community to come together in support of the family as they face the difficult path ahead.

Shannon expressed her appreciation for the overwhelming support their family has received. She noted that service details are not yet available and that any arrangements will likely remain private for immediate family. For those asking how they can help, she explained that contributions will assist with essential expenses and support Councilman Asbury’s wife, with any remaining funds benefiting his grandchildren—“the absolute lights of his life.” She added that her father would likely enjoy being remembered with “a glass of bourbon and some nice BBQ.”

Shannon and Tori also shared that the Bedford Neighborhood Watch will hold a candlelight vigil for Councilman Asbury on Sunday, November 23rd at 6 p.m. in Bedford Square. They have invited the community to join, writing that Councilman Asbury “loved the community that he grew up in and then came back to,” and that throughout his life—as a volunteer, auxiliary officer, and city councilman—“he always worked towards keeping Bedford safe and making the community a beautiful place to live in.”

The Bedford community joins the Asbury family in honoring Councilman Asbury’s life, lifting them up in love, and remembering a man whose kindness, service, and loyalty will not be forgotten.

Below is the official statement from the City of Bedford:

Statement on the Passing of City Councilman Jeff Asbury

BEDFORD, November 15, 2025

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Councilman Jeff Asbury. The Bedford community has lost a dedicated public servant, a thoughtful colleague, and an advocate for the residents of our community.

Throughout Jeff’s years of service as a community volunteer, auxiliary police officer, and member of City Council, he worked tirelessly to improve the lives of residents and to ensure that every voice in our city was heard. Jeff approached every challenge with professionalism, integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the public good.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing Jeff and working alongside him. We are forever grateful for his commitment to public service, and the lasting impact he leaves on our community. We honor his memory by continuing the work to which he was devoted.
