The district submitted an application to bring an Air Force Junior ROTC Program to Strongsville High School. The application was accepted. A site visit was had on Monday and was very successful. There is a waiting list for these programs. Strongsville is now on the list and just waiting for notification as to when we may begin a program with the earliest date being the 2016/2017 school year. Mr. Evans thanked Mr. Ryba and Mr. Smithberger for their support of the program. The District is in the process of updating its website. The transition should be made by mid-July. Mr. Ryba asks everyone to be patient during the transition period. The District is also updating its logo. To parents who have shared e-mail addresses with the District, a survey asking for their feedback on a variety of logo options will be sent out. During the past week, Mr. Ryba and Ms. Pelko met with over 100 staff members in terms of focus groups looking at our vision moving forward as a District. Five areas of focus were: 1. How to engage the community; 2. Facilities; 3. Finances; 4. Teaching and Learning plans; and 5. Future of Technology in the District. In trying to build a connection between the community and the schools, Mr. Ryba would invite anyone interested in holding an informal community or town hall meeting to discuss these five focus areas to contact him at 440-572-7010 or by e-mail cryba@scsmustangs.org.
