Family & Civic Engagement Team Developed

The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Board of Education recently approved a policy to establish a Family & Civic Engagement Team. The Ohio Department of Education, through House Bill 1, has mandated that every district implement a Family and Civic Engagement Team, so as to enable families and communities to work together to support students in our community.

The Team is charged with developing a five-year plan to work with our county and state resources. The team will be led by Kristen Romito, Coordinator of Media & Community Relations. Thanks to the following people for being on the District’s Family & Civic Engagement Team:
