The year 2020 has been strange, at times sad, and mostly difficult for everyone.
The impact from the COVID-19 pandemic has meant changes for people not only in their everyday lives, but in their professional lives as well. Around the country, those working in education watched schools shut down in March, and then spent months planning for students to return to in-person learning this fall.
As the calendar turns to 2021 on Friday, a trio of area superintendents are hopeful next year will be better than the previous one. With the announcement by Gov. Mike DeWine, adults who work in schools in Ohio will have access to the COVID-19 vaccine early in 2021 as part of Phase 1B, their hope is even greater.

PAULDING â The Paulding Exempted Village Board of Education was presented information about remote learning during its meeting Tuesday evening. The board also was given an update on the Panther Virtual Academy, and an update about how students are using grant money to learn about engineering.
Superintendent Ken Amstutz shared that students at Paulding Middle School and Paulding High School will participate in remote learning from home on Monday and Tuesday, while students at Paulding Elementary and Oakwood Elementary will continue with in-person instruction those two days.
For middle/high school students, they will operate on a two-hour delay both days, with instruction beginning at 10 a.m. Teachers will be in their classrooms from 8-10 a.m. to answer questions via phone calls and emails prior to the start of classes at 10 a.m.
