The challenge - The Painesville City Local School District was opening to students and staff in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Joshua M. Englehart, Ph.D., Superintendent and Shaun Bell, Director of Operations for the school district developed a reopening policy to ensure they could bring their staff and students back to school in a safe and effective manner.
According to Bell, the 2019-20 school year has been particularly challenging, and while school has been in session since last August, plans for reopening began in April.
