Education

Jonathan Alder officials take a break during their special board of education meeting Tuesday afternoon to watch the high school parking lot empty out at the end of the school day. Traffic issues during pick-up and drop-off times were part of the board’s larger discussion around two site options for facility planning.

Five Fairbanks students presented a project three years in the making during the Ohio School Board Association’s Student Achievement Fair in Columbus earlier this month. The project, part of the district’s Authentic Learning approach to education, had students interview and record their peers to learn about their stories and experiences. Students pictured from left are Elli Shaffer, Ava Lahmers, Kendole Crozier, Pamela Bosworth and Leo Bosworth. (Photo submitted)
