The Board’s duties include the following:

Board members are elected at large for four-year terms. A member may serve unlimited consecutive terms.  

 

Board members are elected according to a schedule that staggers their term expiration dates. Officers serve a term of one year, and may be re-elected.

The Board sets meeting dates in January for the entire calendar year.  All meetings are held on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm unless otherwise noted.  Meetings will be held at the Administration Building, 633 Brady Avenue, unless otherwise noted.

Notification of the meetings are sent to local newspapers. The public is welcome. Residents of the Barberton School District may address the Board on school matters during time set aside for public participation at the Regular Board meetings.

 

Mission: Meeting each child where they are at and growing them year to year until they are on one of three pathways - Enrolled, Enlisted, Employed. 

 

The Board of Education determined in 2019 that there was a need to continue the strategic planning process that would lead the school district through the years 2020-2025. There are many uses for district funds that are not optional when running a school district, but there are also programs, staff and facility improvements that are optional, and the community should be given the opportunity to voice an opinion.

 

At the heart of this plan are the students of Barberton. The Barberton City School District feels strongly that they are entrusted to provide the best educational opportunities to its students, as evidenced in the Beliefs, Mission and Vision Statements.

 

The Board of Education would like to thank all of the dedicated staff, students, parents and community members who gave their time and talents in order to complete this plan. We welcome further comments and suggestions from them and other stakeholders who were not involved in the original process. Please email these comments to Superintendent Jeffrey Ramnytz or send to his attention at Office of the Superintendent, 633 Brady Avenue., Barberton, OH 44203.
