Parent Survey Results for 2020-21

  • Planning for the 2020-21 school year is based on guidance from national, state, and local resources. The parameters for planning are based on the current draft of the health/safety requirements developed by the Ohio Department of Education.
  • Although much of what is being developed/shared at the state level is just guidance for local districts, at this point in time, the direction has been that our local decisions must adhere to the parameters set in the health/safety requirements.
  • As those parameters evolve, so will our plan.
  • I have and will continue to advocate for reasonable/practical restrictions and local control of decisions that are in the best interest of our students, staff, families, and community.
  • Currently, 1,275 parents have completed our survey.
