Public Participation Request Form
The Fairport Harbor Exempted Village Board of Education values its engagement with the community and believes that providing an opportunity for public comment during Regular Board Meetings supports that engagement and provides transparency. Though proving an opportunity for public comment is not a requirement, we would like to continue this practice even while meeting virtually or in-person. In the spirit of maintaining this opportunity for our public to participate in school board meetings, interested persons may submit written public comments via this electronic form prior to the Board meeting. The Board will collect the public participation information up to one hour before the Regular Meetings for inclusion in the meeting.

The 2021-22 school year is underway. Even though the start of the school year has always been a time of anticipation, enthusiasm, and excitement, this year was special! I am happy to report that FHEVS is back to in-person learning and off to a great start. There seems to be an extra element of energy and momentum present at McKinley and Harding. I want to give a big THANK YOU to our staff for all their efforts to start this year in a smooth, efficient way. Teachers have worked hard to get their rooms organized and ready for our students. Office and custodial staff have also worked extra hard in getting the buildings clean and ready for a great school year.
School Districts across the country have been placed in the middle of a difficult and vigorously debated issue with respect to mask mandates at school. Every day, we receive phone calls and emails from parents and community members offering different, often opposing, views about masking in our schools. It is important to note that as of now, local and state health officials have not issued an order requiring face masks in schools, as they did last school year. Various local, state and federal health agencies and officials have recommended, though not required, masks to be worn in schools. Fairport Harbor Schools are following suit and recommending but not requiring masks.

Volley for the Cure was started to bring awareness to beast cancer. The goal is to not only pack the stands with PINK in order to encourage awareness and early detection for all women, but to also give back and support one of our Fairport families. This years event holds a special place in our hearts of our Skipper Volleyball family.
We will be having baskets to raffle off, a 50/50 and much more. Tickets to purchase baskets and 50/50 are open to everyone (even if you are not planning on watching the game).
We are accepting donations towards our raffle baskets at this time. Shirts will be available to order soon. Please share this event with friends and family so we can make this the best Volley for the Cure yet!

Harding High School English teacher, Susan Tenon, was selected to participate in the NEA Foundation's Global Learning Fellowship, a year-long professional learning experience focused on educating and empowering students for global citizenship. As one of 42 fellows, she is representing the state of Ohio and will enhance her knowledge and skills to integrate global competency into her daily classroom instruction, advocate for global competency at Harding and the FHEVS district, and help students thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
The fellows immerse themselves in online coursework, webinars, reading and reflection as well as a two-day professional development workshop this fall and a nine-day international field study to South Africa next summer.
In South Africa, they will investigate the historical and cultural context of the country and learn about its education system through meetings with policymakers, business and nonprofit leaders as well as visits to schools to meet teachers, students and administrators.
The fellows will conclude their fellowship with a project that enables their learning to be shared more broadly with educators beyond the program.
**This program is done at no cost to Fairport Harbor Schools**
Congratulations to Heidi Elmore who will replace, Doreen Fischer who retired this year.
Governor Mike DeWine established the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) in August of 2019 to support schools, first responders, and communities in preventing,preparing for, and responding to threats and acts of violence, including self-harm. One of the resources that the OSSC administers is the Safer Ohio School Tip Line. This free service is monitored 24/7 for anonymous reporting and can receive both calls and texts. This tip line allows students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety—whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student.
