THIS STORY UPDATED AT 8:30 P.M. THURSDAY -
Responding to this afternoon’s announcement by Gov. Mike DeWine to close Ohio schools for three weeks, Ada schools sent Ohio Alert messages at 4:57 p.m. this afternoon and again at 8:22 p.m.
The Icon will continue to post those alerts are they are sent. Watch the Icon for further updates. The Alert messages follow:
• Students last day will be tomorrow, March 13 and will not return until at least April 6.
• Materials and instructions will be sent home tomorrow with students.
Following Governor DeWine’s strong recommendation to limit large, mass, indoor events in order to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Ada Exempted Village School District will be making decisions to proceed, cancel, or postpone approaching events based on Social Distancing Protocol and the best information available at the time.
As such, Superintendent Meri Skilliter has made the following decisions about approaching events.
A $21 million project beginning this month will resurface Interstate 75 between Napoleon Road just south of the village of Beaverdam and state Route 235 three miles north of the village of Bluffton in Allen and Hancock counties.
The project also includes the reconstruction of Interstate 75 at state Route 696 in Beaverdam. Traffic will be maintained through the work zone. Work is expected to begin in March 2020 and is anticipated to complete in October 2020.
The resurfacing project between Napoleon Road and state Route 235 includes repairs on the bridge over township Road 33 and the railroad just north of the village of Bluffton.
