This month, we’re proud to celebrate School Board Recognition Month. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated board members—Mr. Frank Vacha, Mrs. Kelly McCarthy, Mrs. Marci Saxon, Mr. Jeff Grigsby, and Mr. David Hanes—for their commitment to our schools and community.

Governor Mike DeWine signed Ohio’s Senate Bill 288 into law on January 3, 2023, mandating that school districts notify parents about the required curriculum on child sexual abuse and sexual violence prevention.

The district plans to provide the instruction between now and the end of February. Parents can view the content before it is presented to students here. Parents can opt their child out of the presentation by completing this Google form Parent Opt Out by January 6, 2025. Building Principals will send out messages with dates before instruction in the classroom.

We firmly believe that open communication and collaboration between school and home are vital for the well-being and success of our students. We encourage you to engage in meaningful discussions with your child about these important topics and reinforce the knowledge and skills they acquire through this instruction.
