LEETONIA The Leetonia school district is now offering a before and after school care program for elementary students.
Schools Superintendent Dennis Dunham this week told the school board the program is a free service offered for students in grades kindergarten through six for parents who need assistance before and/or after school hours. The program is available 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 to 6 p.m. weekdays.
Dunham noted the current only requires a coordinator, but an aide will be available if numbers increase.
The board then approved Mike Frenger as program coordinator for the remainder of the school year, effective Jan. 14 at $25 per hour and Rick Davis as aide.

Village of Leavenworth cancels annual holiday festivals to reduce large crowds and COVID-19 exposure
This year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Leavenworth is not holding their annual in-person and popular holiday festivities, but instead offering virtual experiences.
LEAVENWORTH, Wash. - The Village of Leavenworth, tucked away in the Cascade Mountains, is internationally known as the Christmas Town. Several thousands of people make a trip to the Bavarian-themed town as part of their holiday traditions. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how Leavenworth and its people celebrate the season.
LEETONIA Students will be on remote learning through Martin Luther King Day.
Superintendent Dennis Dunham reported Thursday night instruction will be remote when students return Jan. 4. Students will not return to face-to-face instruction until Jan. 19.
Dunham said the remote learning is out of caution from community spread of COVID-19, which is expected to increase after the holidays.
“We understand how critical it is for students to have face-to-face instruction and routine,” Dunham said. “This is being done out of a sheer abundance of caution.”
Also at the meeting, Dunham said he conducted a study of the K-12 campus facility’s efficiency regarding instruction of students. He reported he has recommended several changes in the use of facilities that will be put into place over the next couple weeks.
