Facilities director Mr. Strickland described a Bissell Nature Park concept that would include a learning pavilion, amphitheater, walking paths, natural meadows and a cross‑country trail; the district plans to partner with area organizations for grant funding and to transplant native plant species from the proposed new school site. He also described an NFC (National Fitness Campaign) fitness court idea for Wilcox with weatherproof surfacing, parkour equipment, integration with fitness apps and opportunities for corporate sponsorships.

Separately, a principal-scribe student advisory group from Dodge presented unfiltered student recommendations for a new building: larger, brighter classrooms with soundproofing; improved playground surfacing instead of mulch; consistent basketball hoops; expanded field space; operable windows with screens and ceiling fans; quieter heating and cooling systems; larger lockers and more food choices in lunch. Students also suggested a school garden and clearer hallway directions for newcomers.

Strickland said project boards are on display in the lobby and that Tiger Legacy Project details are on the district website; he noted roofing and paving costs will pressure the facilities budget this summer. Board members expressed support for the concepts and noted potential grant and community partnerships.","Facilities staff presented concepts for Bissell Nature Park and a Wilcox fitness court; a student principal-scribe committee offered ideas for classroom size, playgrounds, HVAC and lockers for a proposed new building.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6117005,"RBC Middle School staff highlight student clubs and programs boosting engagement",590,3600000,4190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731223-6d396c8e178d644b84ff17569d3bfd6e&start=3600&end=4190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731223-6d396c8e178d644b84ff17569d3bfd6e/thumbnail_3600000.jpg","/articles/6117005/Twinsburg-City/School-Districts/Ohio/RBC-Middle-School-staff-highlight-student-clubs-and-programs-boosting-engagement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117005-63928b844c12a3ead53c530c4d4b3dcf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207450&Signature=jjFYvqCltO4X6~hO~fwF3lpYkcdSvjPE0jkUP95CnIt3cXx-DcaTBcJ3Glwl38jI2Ab6l1lleJThBEKwabMmD98aO485ZGWypghhhp4lZKB32-jipCxMaRFSz7sUrbZjcQuvuLl2aJP8ZjZCOOquNIE85myYWZTxjzh2XEZKk4r5s2O9ZfHS2hy1U2Ae2WR-KmsxZLPo-hmO8xGaM~~9T7G4NgERHQZfxQPMDjxRCXBnjvQVUXkzTwZFS5aawyDLvtWGiga~Zfoabe4leBhyPHkEAGCBI5qxrqa7TfP2zXeyqnZP5pLjRIBrtkxWaf7Jh2pmbdrBXeBomyMEbIQVSA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","RBC Chamberlain Middle School staff told the Twinsburg board that a broad mix of extracurricular and in-school groups are helping students connect to school and build skills.

Assistant principal and presenters listed student groups that meet before, during and after school: a reading-and-writing festival, STEM club, student government (28 members), the Crayola crew (a morning art/wellness group run by a counselor who is an art therapist), a celebration club that organizes events, a girls’ group, Power of the Pen (competitive writing), a spelling-bee club, performing-arts ensembles, and athletics. Staff said these groups improve attendance and engagement for students who may not connect through core academic classes.

Dean of students and club leaders described Fit Club (morning workouts) and Tiger Men on a Mission (a leadership group of about 15 boys). Mr. Sanders said Fit Club sets a positive tone for the day and creates informal mentorship and conversation time; three student leaders summarized the program and recited the “seven daily habits of highly effective people” they practice in the group.

The school reported increased participation in performing arts and athletics and said some activities require schedule adjustments because of growth. The board received the presentation during the culture-and-climate update; presenters characterized the programs as part of the district’s MTSS and school engagement work.","RBC Chamberlain Middle School leaders described dozens of in-school clubs and programs — from Power of the Pen to Fit Club and Tiger Men on a Mission — as strategies to connect students and improve attendance and behavior.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6117009,"Twinsburg high school students teach Spanish to elementary pupils in new partnership",661,2315000,2976000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731223-6d396c8e178d644b84ff17569d3bfd6e&start=2315&end=2976","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731223-6d396c8e178d644b84ff17569d3bfd6e/thumbnail_2315000.jpg","/articles/6117009/Twinsburg-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Twinsburg-high-school-students-teach-Spanish-to-elementary-pupils-in-new-partnership","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117009-0bf94440c9b2c8c402332eb4667b3c1b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207450&Signature=jq0DtV9nJavPqOHjXKt7gSxCRxaqHnglkwLvrX9qoSTT0jGqFuQt1JpRQmUDfC47EwfZyEe4bQPETRL86PfRlEbdatoW1oyTWVXYaIFt81ZhDEKdGpLunuh31R9U0afTHpQlOe8xT8thRs9xs1VzixIsxAy7LP5epSOhc1xBQMDBQ84M015LpjdWqQMItK03TpWdE8mZZKUR3COgZX~EMftNQVOpUr5KNmSxJD3M1WYHCcj17w2IVbRv7Z0S-4l24CxxDfjEk6DdOPFPQWpLPZGm-aiCiaqrbXWPlHZNtJHTRof8cnljBTgH1FbRH4oyQsX74rrnl5xq999pWnUkFQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Twinsburg High School Spanish students have begun quarterly visits to Samuel Bissell Elementary School to teach basic Spanish vocabulary and cultural activities, district staff told the Board of Education.

Mrs. Johnson and Spanish teacher Mr. Santiago described a pilot partnership in which Spanish 2 students deliver lessons, read bilingual children’s books and lead games for second- and third-grade classes. Mr. Santiago said the program gives older students a chance to “showcase their work, reinforce their learning, and their presentational skills.”

Elementary teachers reported visible benefits. Johnson described a pupil who moved from Argentina and, within weeks, helped teach a lesson to her classmates; staff said the experience “made her feel celebrated and recognized.” High‑school volunteers told the board the work reinforced inclusivity and gave them classroom leadership experience.

The district presented photos and short student remarks during the culture-and-climate update. Teachers and presenters said the program will continue quarterly and that the district hopes it will grow across additional classrooms; staffing and scheduling were described as operational matters to be managed by participating teachers and the high school Spanish program.","Twinsburg High School Spanish students visited Samuel Bissell Elementary for quarterly lessons; district presenters said the program reinforces high-school students’ skills and helps elementary pupils connect with language and culture.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6117014,"Twinsburg board backs move to standardize MTSS across district",2461,2199000,4660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731223-6d396c8e178d644b84ff17569d3bfd6e&start=2199&end=4660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731223-6d396c8e178d644b84ff17569d3bfd6e/thumbnail_2199000.jpg","/articles/6117014/Twinsburg-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Twinsburg-board-backs-move-to-standardize-MTSS-across-district","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117014-db8a9226af4e197c8793bb92b0545cb5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207450&Signature=bOZVYru0lLti1n9gJG2hp3sNyNDZpvn5dF~1de8sLJjQROmJW29f~DAT~2lvAN5kqkI-1eoCg4tnvOip7I1hd3iHWo95uadSySvaCywXdh2AcJQl2aDmnmBfbMVvBBfLNDUjiNM~rP2s4MESNYgxu5sLZZU~QzfMWMfAx~MuqgO2bo7MfojY3k8Y0vWGCYBSHW~Rvl~eK~TiN-9O8DQJDJo3czY8F4gd9HZDExa1NMCP49qgEZBqMwiK3Zwndfq4KyuIuRxvlLr3T8K7iiFe0Z3MJudQRhqp7nm2hDQDWucW7nAosKvCZpaQe~4GQxg1sLD4Qgr0N3-G2jDqJkbqSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Twinsburg City School District Board of Education voted unanimously to revise a 2024–25 strategic-plan action step to require a consistent, districtwide Multi‑Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) process.

MTSS coordinator Julian Walker told the board that “MTSS is a structured program and it's a proactive framework for all students” and described tiered academic, behavioral and attendance supports being aligned across buildings.

The change to the culture-and-climate action step directs the district to implement a consistent MTSS process “as measured by the MTSS end-of-year audit.” Walker said staff surveys and building reviews informed the plan: 140 staff responded to a district survey and about 35% reported MTSS was already working well in their building; inconsistency in vocabulary and practice was the most-cited challenge.

Walker outlined immediate steps: quarterly principal meetings to review MTSS, a districtwide list of MTSS vocabulary, and a guidebook for teachers to be completed by the end of the school year. She also said future work could include a parent-facing MTSS guide, available in print or on the district website. Mr. Bandiera, who oversees culture and climate, framed the goals as prevention-focused: early data review and evidence-based interventions to reduce later referrals.

The board approved the strategic-plan revision by roll call 5–0. The revision was presented during the strategic-plan update and was recorded as action item J.6 on the agenda.

Board members asked for continued updates; Walker said she has met with each building and will bring the draft vocabulary and guidebook back to the board for review.","Board accepted a strategic-plan revision directing districtwide consistency in its Multi-Tiered Systems of Support; MTSS coordinator reported a district survey and a timetable for a common vocabulary and guidebook.","actionData","errors"]
