The Week in Reflection: 11/15

The Circuit Goes to Columbus

On Monday, Chardon High School teachers, students, and administrators drove down to Columbus to present at the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA). The presentation was a highly engaging demonstration of the growth of Chardon High School's Circuit of Success program. 

For nearly an hour, our students and teachers engaged the purpose, intention, and values of the Principles of Leadership, Communication, Innovation, Problem Solving, Global Awareness, and Entrepreneurship/Networking.

The patrons in the audience interacted in the presentation--sharing out with the guests in ways that our students interact with each other. The presentation unveiled the best of what we instill in our students: communication skills, confidence, poise, and critical thinking. 

The feedback was extremely positive. One superintendent stated that he has gone to OSBA for the past twenty years and our presentation was the most engaging, and insightful presentation that he has ever attended. 

We are so proud of the growth, positive feedback, and community engagement that this program has bestowed upon our students at CHS. Over the last several months, Mr. Kovach as worked with intentionality to align our Circuit of Success to the Ohio Means Jobs Readiness Seal.  By the end of this year, all students in the Class of 2023, and 2024 will have earned this state recognized seal for graduation!

Dear Eighth Graders and Eighth Grade Parents,

We are so excited about our trip to Washington, D.C.!  There is so much to look forward to, and spring is a beautiful time of year to be in our nation’s capital.  School-sponsored tours are essential elements of our academic programs at Chardon High School. Our eighth-graders will have the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. on a curriculum-based overnight field trip from May 4-6, 2020. 

The following are the guidelines for this trip.  The cost of the trip is $445. This includes all meals (except lunch Monday), lodging, and guided experiences.   Payment plan: first payment November 15th ($245), second payment February 7th ($100), and third payment March 13th ($100) or full payment on November 15th.  Payments can be made on Infinite Campus or a check (made out to Chardon Board of Education) through the CHS business office.  All school fees (including athletic fees) must be paid prior to the second trip payment date February 7, 2020.  

While every effort will be made to honor room requests, CHS reserves the right to assign hotel rooms and bus assignments.  Violation of our core values may eliminate eligibility for the trip. If a student’s eligibility is removed, any payments made to the tour company will not be refunded.  Students and parents understand that all school rules and Chardon Local School District Board of Education Policies and Procedures are in effect. If there are any disciplinary issues on the trip, the administration reserves the right to require your child to be picked up at the parents’ or guardians’ expense.

We know how excited everyone is for this awesome trip, and we really appreciate your respect for these guidelines.  By signing below, you will indicate your intention to follow them.  

Please complete the information below by November 4, 2019, and return to Mr. Higham.  Once this form is submitted, the cost of the trip will be added to your child’s school fees account on Infinite Campus.

This document can be viewed in detail here.

We will hold a mandatory information night for parents on November 18, 2019, at 6:00 pm.  At this meeting, we will be distributing a tentative itinerary which will highlight many of the places that we will visit and more specific information regarding the needs for this trip. The itinerary is located here.

​CHARDON HIGH SCHOOL 2019-2020
 
This year AC4P, NHS, Interact,  and the Actively Caring Leadership class will raise funds for the 20th annual Jeremy's Kids Christmas fundraiser. This fundraiser is in memory of Jeremy Mizen, the 6-year-old son of teacher Rob Mizen, who died in a car crash on Christmas Eve in 1999. Instead of dwelling on their horrible loss and having this tragic event destroy their lives, Mr. Mizen and his wife decided that they would instead celebrate Jeremy’s life focusing on the positive aspects of his life.
 
AC4P, NHS, Interact, and the Actively Caring Leadership class will use the raised funds to support less fortunate families in the Chardon Community. Many local families are struggling financially with giving their children gifts on Christmas. Every year the students of Chardon High School have joined together with the community to make sure relief was available to these families. 
 
Thank you for your generosity.  
 
Please make checks payable to Chardon Local Schools. ​ (memo: Jeremy's Kids)+

A Message from Dr. Hanlon

Chardon Schools’ Facilities Advisory Committee Makes Recommendations Concerning School Future Bond Issue and Facilities Planning

Dear Chardon Schools Stakeholder:

The Chardon Local School District’s Facilities Advisory Committee met on Thursday, November 7, 2019, to discuss the results of the November 5th election and the failure of the proposed bond issue for the construction of a new 6-12 facility along with other locally-funded initiatives.  The proposed issue failed by a margin of 44% for the issue and 56% against the issue.

The Committee acknowledged a divide within the community over the issue of new school facilities.  In order to meet the needs of the district’s students, it will be important to work to unify the community around a vision of a future capital improvement plan.  Recognizing this, the recommendation from the committee is to not place another bond issue request on the March 2020 ballot.

Additional recommendations from the committee to the Board of Education include the following:
  1. The district should reboot the planning process from the starting point of the enrollment projection and facilities assessment completed by the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission.


  1. The focus of the planning process should continue to consider a variety of viewpoints from across the Chardon community to ensure that divergent perspectives are represented in the recommended master plan that results from repeating the planning process.

Again, the committee values the perspective of the Chardon community and recognizes that the only way to successfully address the significant school facility needs that exist in our community is through a process that brings everyone together around a common goal.

I will share these recommendations from the committee with our Board of Education on Monday, November 18, 2019.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Hanlon, Jr., Ph.D.
Superintendent
