Nov. 5 Election Location
For the Nov. 5 election, Bainbridge Township voters in precincts C, E and H cast their ballot at Gardiner Center, not Kenston High School as was the location in previous years.
ALICE Safety Training
Sgt. Frank Chickos, of the Bainbridge Police Department, trained new staff in methods to keep students safe and about ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate.
ALICE is the training method utilized in the Kenston Schools that teaches techniques that can reduce injuries and casualties in the event of an active shooter. ALICE differs from the lockdown/shelter-in-place approach previously used by many districts across the country. ALICE is part of Kenston’s emergency operations plan.
ALICE empowers staff and students to make informed decisions about how to best ensure their own safety during an active shooter event, especially before authorities arrive on the scene or when they are not immediately available.
Five-Year Financial Forecast
State law requires all public schools to file of a five-year financial forecast with the Ohio Department of Education twice a year in November and May. The forecast requires districts to evaluate their general fund for potential long-term outcomes when making current decisions about new initiatives and fund existing programs and services over multiple years. The multiyear budgeting process lends itself to meeting both short and long-term goals while maintaining financial solvency.
The general fund is the largest district fund. General funds are primarily unrestricted and are used for the day-to-day operation of the school district.
The forecast represents a series of assumptions or estimates of future economic, legislative and market conditions. It is a “snapshot” of variables known or assumed at a particular point in time. Due to the uncertainties and changing nature of school finance and economic factors, this forecast is fluid and subject to change. Contact Paul Pestello, treasurer, with any questions. The forecast is posted on the district webpage.
