Ada Community:
We write not to direct an outcome, but to ensure a balanced perspective. Ada Schools has a levy set for our vote this March. However, it is out opinion that the approach to this levy has thus far proven concerning. The levy is being placed on the ballot as a “continuous renewal”. This means that the tax is essentially permanent.
Through an Ohio Alerts message today Ada schools have created a survey for parents related to continuation of free breakfast and lunches to school children off the school campus. The survey regards meals over the next three weeks.
In preparation for that decision and to help with planning, the school asks families to complete the survey as soon as possible.
The school asks that the only persons to complete the survey are those needing meals or are willing to assist if needed.
Ada High School students cleaned out their lockers when school ended today. A new, never-tried learning experience will take place in Ada and in all school in Ohio until at least early April. Students in public and private schools will visit their classrooms from home as Gov. Mike DeWine announced that schools will be closed due to COVID-19 crisis. (Bel Mancuso photo)

As a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC), Ohio Northern University is sharing that the Presidents Council of the Ohio Athletic Conference has voted to cancel all 2020 spring sports seasons, effective March 16 through the remainder of the academic year.
This includes all athletically related activities as defined by the NCAA. In addition, all meetings, practices and other off-season activities for other sports are also cancelled.
The OAC joins other NCAA conferences like the Patriot League and New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAS) in taking this action.
