BUCYRUS—On Monday evening, the Wynford board of education held their monthly meeting.
The board accepted longtime teacher Barb Huber’s retirement effective at the end of this school year. “She’s had a good career here with Wynford Local Schools over the years, and we certainly congratulate her and wish her the best,” Wynford’s new superintendent, Forrest Trisler, said.
The district will be implementing Handle with Care for the upcoming school year. “In the event that any of our students would be affected by some kind of traumatic event outside of school hours, law enforcement would notify our SRO (student resource officer) as well as members of the district so that someone could get a message out to the staff of the building that the child is in that just says, ‘handle with care,’” Trisler said.
“Then all the staff knows that in the event that something traumatic happened at the student’s house the night before, and if the child was struggling at all, that student needs to be handled with care and sent to the school counselors or to a teacher that they have a really close relationship with.”
The elementary release schedule will be running on a trial period for the next two weeks. Those students being picked up will be released at 3:10 p.m. and those riding the bus, whereas last year, the schedule was the opposite. A diagram for both pickup and drop-off can be found on the school’s website.
The board approved a purchase order to Nick’s Lawn Service LTD for the football field painting services. The company will paint the lines on the field with a “robot” with a GPS on the back to help paint “laser-straight” lines. School staff members will still paint the numbers and the practice field.
The next meeting is September 12 at 5:30 p.m.
