Thank You, First Responders

On Sept. 1, during the Kenston versus Chagrin Falls football pregame, the Kenston Board of Education, along with trustees from Auburn and Bainbridge township, recognized the first responders who serve Kenston.

They are members of the police force, sheriff’s department, fire and emergency services. They are the first people on the scene of a fire, accident or health emergency. Their contributions cannot be measured, and the schools and entire community are stronger and safer for their continued sacrifice and service.

The 2023 Tailgates are sponsored by Bomber Elite, Kenston Athletic Boosters, Kenston Community Education, Musical Arts Association of Kenston and The Bomber Hangar (Kenston PTO).

Safe School Hotline

The Ohio Department of Education has partnered up with Ohio Homeland Security to offer all Ohio school districts a safe and secure tip line. The tip line can be anonymous, or callers have the option to leave contact information. Any threatening information or suspicious activity will be assessed by the Homeland Security team to determine the level of the threat. If it’s determined to be a high-level threat, they will communicate directly with local law enforcement and the school district.

Information that is only school-related such as bullying, social media issues or other school-related information will be routed directly to the school administrators to address.

Safer Schools Ohio tip/text line: 844-SAFEROH or 844-723-3764.
