The Kings Local School District joins more than 700 school districts throughout Ohio to celebrate January as School Board Recognition Month.
Our school board members are civil servants who shoulder critical responsibilities and often make difficult decisions for our District. They serve as a link between the community and classroom and are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools.
We would like to thank Stacie Belfrom, Deb Cowan, Dan Egan, Peggy Phillips, and Rona Walter for caring about our children and giving so much to our community.
At Tuesday, January 19 Board of Education Meeting, the five Board Members were recognized with certificates and cards made by students in Miss Pagan, Mrs. Clements, Mrs. Westley, and Mrs. Thomases classes. Thank you, Kings Board of Education. Your dedicated service is recognized and appreciated!

Social-Emotional Health Tip on Sleep |
|
Kings Social & Emotional Health Coordinator, Kim Sellers offers parenting tips during a pandemic.
Parenting has reached a whole new level of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and many parents are without their usual ways of knowing how their kids are actually doing—especially when it comes to their mental health. Brightline offers a free, online COVID-19 Behavioral Health Indicator (COBI) to equip you with information about the potential impact of the pandemic on kids’ behavioral health. It will take you about 10 minutes to complete, and your responses can then help you to have a conversation with a healthcare provider. Take it here.
