Board Update

Good Afternoon:

LAST WEEK IN YOUR SCHOOL BOARD

Wellness Committee Meeting
On, Jan. 25th I attended my first Wellness Committee Meeting. We reviewed our current wellness programs and talked about several possible changes that are happening or being proposed in various buildings as well as the district. The committee is also in the process of developing the district’s wellness mission statement and posting the district’s wellness policy and building wellness goals on our district website. The district is currently looking to partner with the City of North Royalton for a combined wellness program that would be hosted at NRHS that would be for the entire community. The district recently received a $2,000.00 grant from the Ohio Department of Education to hold an evening parent health and wellness academy. Next Wellness Committee meeting will be held on March 10th at 2pm at the Board of Education Office Conference Rm.

North Royalton City Recreation Board Meeting
I am the alternate School Board Representative for the City Recreation Board. I attended on Jan. 26th the City Rec. Board meeting with School Board President Reinhard, who is the official School Board Representative, to introduce myself and to get up speed with things. The Rec. Board discussed various plans for the up coming spring sports season and the efforts by the city’s various recreation clubs to prepare for it.

State’s public schools climb to fifth best in the United States
