What happens during the
summer at Perrysburg schools?
Do you ever wonder what
happens in the Perrysburg
Schools during the summer?
Many people assume the district
shuts down operations
during the summer months,
but in fact many important activities
take place during the
summer to make sure the
schools are ready for students
and teachers in the fall.
Athletics, Summer
School and Use of Facilities
by Outside Groups–Summer
physical education class at the
high school; practice and conditioning
for volleyball,
wrestling, lacrosse, cross
country, baseball and basketball;
band camp and facilities
rentals by outside groups such
as Perrysburg Youth Summer
Theatre keep the buildings
bustling all summer.
Deep Cleaning–To minimize
the disruption during the
school year, major projects
like stripping and resurfacing
the gym floors are scheduled
during the summer months.
Food Service–planning
menus and getting nutritional
information on all foods pursuant
to new federal mandates,
purchasing food, hiring
and training staff, submitting
state reports.
Human Resources–after
retirement notices and the like
at the end of the school year,
summer is when the district
does a lot of its interviewing
and hiring. Staff levels remain
roughly the same as last year,
but due to attrition, the district
is in the process of filling 35
positions, including adding
and consolidating data between
the human resources
and treasurers’ offices. Other
HR summer projects include
updating and revising required
employee training and
staff development.
Permanent Improvement
Projects–summer is an
ideal time to make repairs and
perform regular maintenance
on our facilities. This summer
the following projects are in
the works that were paid for
by a permanent improvement
levy voters approved in 2010:
•High school parking lot
sealcoating and crack repair
•Frank Elementary circle

where it belongs.
A one-mile kids fun
•High school baseball and
softball fields-Phase II
Registration–All summer
long, the board’s central office
is open to register new students
and to work with families
who have questions or
concerns.
Strategic Planning–Summer
is when the administrative
team looks over the
previous year to measure
progress on our strategic plan,
using administrator evaluations,
student achievement
data and this year’s inaugural
annual stakeholder survey.
The central office staff prepares
the strategic plan update
and recommendations to present
to the Board of Education
in August to help shape goals
for this coming school year.
