Planetarium and Central Gymnasium
As the new Coshocton Elementary School nears completion, the Board of Education has begun deliberations regarding the Planetarium and the Central Gymnasium.  A study is currently underway to investigate the possibility of saving the gym and what it might cost to do so.  A committee has been established to ascertain whether the Planetarium can be dismantled and moved to another location.  It is important to note that the Board of Education has very limited monies to fund either of these projects.  Should it become feasible to preserve on or both of these projects, the bulk of the money will need to be raised through community donations.

Ohio's Third Grade Guarantee

Schools across the state were thrown a curve from the Ohio Department of Education in August when the Third Grade Guarantee was established in accordance with Senate Bill 316, due for full implementation no later than September 30th. This requires that students in grades K-3 be assessed in reading and identified as “on track” or “off track” for grade level success. The legislation requires that beginning with this 2012-13 school year, third grade students who score below a 390 on the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) in Reading will be retained, or held in grade 3 for another year. There are some exceptions for students who have cognitive delays and an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) and for those students with limited English proficiency.  

School Hotline
Coshocton City Schools has implemented a new safety service called School Hotline which allows students, parents, staff and community members to anonymously report potential threats of violence, bullying, gang activity, drug use, sexual harassment or any other potential issue concerning students in the school district. The system is simple to use. To anonymously report a problem to administrators anyone can dial the toll free number 866-484-4634 and leave a message.  
Free Breakfast for ALL Students
The Coshocton City School Board of Education voted at their July Board Meeting to provide free breakfast everyday for ALL students in the district.  Starting in January, a pilot program provided free breakfast for all students on Mondays only.  This program was very successful so a decision was made to expand it to every day of the week for the 2012-13 school year.  The program will be examined at the end of the first semester.  
Emergency Alert System
Parents may subscribe to receive an e-mail and/or text message whenever school is delayed, closed, or there is an emergency early dismissal.  To create an account, please go to the Alerts/News Sign Up link
