Expect School-Community Survey Coming to Residents In Early May
These are unprecedented times as our nation, state, and the Clintonville community respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation has also challenged our staff as we have done everything in our power to provide at-home learning opportunities and meals for our students.
Going forward, we anticipate some challenges will continue. As you are probably aware, a referendum to update our buildings failed to win voter support in 2017. Our schools are still in need of a significant investment to update aging building systems, address code compliance issues, and improve the educational areas. The School Board feels this is a good time to consider investing in our schools because interest rates are at historic lows, and there may be future federal stimulus funding available for “shovel ready projects” once the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
The school district is committed to developing a plan that reflects the needs of our students and the priorities of our taxpayers. Therefore, we are asking for your "voice" in the planning process. When surveys arrive in early May, we are asking residents to please take 5 to 10 minutes to complete this survey! A paper version of the survey will be mailed to every household in the District, and for your convenience, we will also provide a link to take the survey online. Please encourage all adults (eligible to vote) in your home to take the survey. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Cellcom’s Working From Home Tips
The coronavirus pandemic presented challenges for everyone, personally and professionally. While we work to maintain a sense of normalcy, our circumstances for a typical work day have shifted. Thankfully technology can assist with keeping us connected while we adjust to our new working environments. Here are some tips:
Use your phone as a hotspot –
It’s likely you aren’t the only one trying to use your home internet connection at a given time. Streaming classes, video conferences, and accessing the applications you need simultaneously can challenge your bandwidth. Consider using your phone as a hotspot to leverage your mobile data as needed. In your settings under connections, tap on mobile hotspot to broadcast Wi-Fi from your phone.
Tablets as a second screen –
Staying in touch with coworkers and clients is likely involving more video chats than ever before. A 4G LTE tablet can be a great way to engage in video calls while maintaining full visibility of your laptop screen for documents. With built-in connectivity, it also offers flexibility to work away from your Wi-Fi connection as needed.
App security –
Working from home might require new applications for management of your workflow. When incorporating an app into your business, it’s important to look at the privacy and security it offers. What’s good for a consumer solution might be a risk when customer or business financial information is involved.
Mobile device management –
Managing smartphones, tablets and computers for your off-site workforce may now require more remote tools, like mobile device management (MDM) software. Utilizing an MDM software can let you monitor, manage and secure devices regardless of operation system. Deploy apps, exchange documents, and make sure software is up-to-date on all company-owned devices. Learn more at www.cellcom.com/mdm
We all have a powerful need to stay connected, both personally and professionally. Ensuring you have that reliable connection is Cellcom’s role during the pandemic. We’re closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our customers, our communities and our team members and will continue to adapt and respond to the evolving circumstances. Learn more about our response at www.cellcom.com

Spring Cruise Carshow
The Spring Cruise Car Show Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the 19th annual event, originally scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2020 from 5-9 PM. We discussed postponing the event until later in the summer, but with the uncertainty of the coronavirus and its spread, it would be too difficult to select a date, advertise and get the word out in time to make the event worthwhile.
As most of you know, the car show was originally started to help raise funds for the Beat the Heat, cops and kids youth program that we had in our community for 22 years. With the discontinuation of that program in 2015 just prior to my retirement, the decision was made to continue with the car show and use the profits for two $1,000 scholarships for Clintonville High School students seeking an education in an automotive/mechanical related field. We still intend to provide those scholarships for the 2020 graduates if the school district provides candidates for them.
