Superintendent Dr. Wade Lucas, Ed.D., Treasurer Rebecca Jenkins, and guests Representative Andrew Brenner and Delaware County Auditor George Kaitsa discussed the state of the school district and important issues impacting the district at both a local and state level. After the presentation portion of the program, a question and answer session followed, with all members of the panel answering various questions from community members.

In this community message, Superintendent Wade Lucas, Ed.D., invites the community to attend a public forum on Monday, November 14 rom 7 until 9 p.m. at Olentangy High School, 675 Lewis Center Drive.  Audience members will hear about the state of the school district and get a chance to ask questions of school officials and local lawmakers.

One of the things that makes Olentangy such a great district is the fact that our residents are more than willing to donate their time and expertise. We have dozens of community committees, parent-teacher organizations and booster groups that do everything from giving us a business perspective on our financial data to creating special learning experiences for students.

I recently received a nice summary from the Diversity Committee on its activities and achievements, and I thought I’d share that document with you. This group of dedicated, hard-working individuals is a perfect example of the amazing of support our district receives from the community.

I’ll close by expressing my gratitude to all of you who have donated, are donating or plan to donate some of your time to our students. I know we all have trouble finding the time to fit everything in these days, and your generosity is greatly appreciated!
