SAFETY ALERT JANUARY 18, 2012
This is a safety alert from Superintendent John Edgar. A student was approached Wednesday morning by an adult driver in Logan Elm Village. The Pickaway County Sheriff’s office is investigating the incident.
All schools will review emergency safety procedures before dismissal today and we ask you to review them again tonight with your children and be extra vigilant near all bus stops.
Below are listed some basic safety precautions to talk over with your children. Thanks for your assistance.
- Don’t approach or talk to individuals in vehicles that you don’t know.
- Be aware of your surroundings as you walk to and from your bus stop.
- If possible, always walk with a friend or family member.
- Know where to go for safety.
Elementary RestructuringThe Board of Education at their regular meeting held December 12, 2011 voted unanimously (5-0) to restructure our elementary schools effective for the 2012-13 school year. This decision was reached after deliberating for 15 months and holding 12 parent meetings this fall to help select the best option to save $400,000 annually, address declining elementary enrollment and continue providing an “Excellent with Distinction” education. We are grateful to all of the parents and staff who voiced their opinions and helped the Board make the following decision: Students assigned to grades K-4 who would have attended Salt Creek will be divided among the three elementary schools. Many of the details of the restructuring will be planned in the next few months. When issues are identified, studied and solved, we will post information on the district and school websites as well as send newsletter updates home with the students. These issues include but are not limited to: elementary attendance boundaries, school starting and ending times, busing schedules, staff assignments and program changes.
