Community & General Information
CRESTVIEW LOCAL SCHOOLS HONORED
Crestview Local Schools has been named one of the most cost-effective school
districts in the state when it comes to providing administrative services.
The district was presented a certificate of achievement for efficiency by Ohio
Education Matters, a public policy research organization.
―The taxpayers and residents of this community should be proud that their district
takes seriously the best use of resources to benefit children,‖ said Andrew Benson,
executive director of Ohio Education Matters.
The recognition Crestview received stems from a report issued by the organiza-
tion this year as part of a study of K to 12 education called Ohio Smart Schools. Of
the more than 600 districts in the state, the study found Crestview was one of four
districts to be among the most efficient in both school-level administration and central
–office administration. Treasurer Tina Bennett said the district was pleasantly
surprised by the recognition. ―We’re always looking for ways to cut costs,
Bennett said. ―Reductions in non-instructional areas we feel are preferable to areas
that are going to affect students in the classroom.‖ - Written by Bryan Bullock,

Elementary Lunch Price Increase
Due to requirements in the Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, we
will be raising the price of an Elementary
lunch from $2.25 to $2.30 for the
2011-2012 school year. Lunch prices
in the Middle & High Schools will
remain at $2.50.
EZpay – Last year, many parents
took advantage of paying for school
fees and lunches by using EZpay, our
on-line payment system. All you need
is your student’s 6-digit ID number,
click on the EZpay link on the
C r e s t v i e w w e b s i t e a t
(www.crestviewschools.net) and you
can set up an account. Even if you
don’t pay for lunches or school fees
using EZpay, you can still set up an
EZpay account to view your student’s
lunch account balance or view their
lunch history. You can obtain your
student’s 6-digit ID number by contacting
the Food Service department at
419-895-1700, ext. 5008 or by calling
the secretary in your student’s building.
NOTE: There is a convenience
charge of $2.00 each time you use the
EZpay system to make a payment.
Charging Lunches – Our guidelines
for lunch charges will remain the
same. Only a complete lunch may be
charged – no ala carte items may be
charged. Students in the Elementary
are allowed three charges; Middle
School two charges; and High School
one charge. When a charge is paid, a
student is then eligible to charge
again.
Free & Reduced Meals – Free and
Reduced applications will be sent
home with your children on the first
day of school. They should be available
on the school web site in early
August. If you are direct certified,
you will receive a letter from the Food
Service Department during August
and you will not need to fill out an
application even though one will still
come home with your student(s).
