As the days start to get shorter, colder and leaves start to change colors and fall to the ground we continue each and every day to provide services to 200 plus individuals with developmental disabilities here in Defiance County. We are off to a pretty good school year even though we have had a couple instances where individuals/students and staff have tested positive for COVID. We have worked with our local Defiance County Health Department and they have continued to provided great support and assistance to us. We are truly grateful though that we are back to 5 days per week having our individuals/students coming to school.
We continue to encourage all visitors to our agency to adhere to our mask mandate as we want to make sure as much as possible to keep everyone healthy and safe. We all need to do our part to stop the spread of COVID. If you are not yet vaccinated, consult with your health care professional. If it is right for you, PLEASE GET THE SHOT! Remember to follow the recommended preventative measures; social distancing, stay home when sick, avoid large crowds, wash your hands, and wear a mask when appropriate!
We also continue to need substitutes for the Good Samaritan School anywhere from bus drivers, bus assistants, instructors, instructor assistants, and custodians. So if you are interested in working for us and enriching the lives of our individuals/students please stop in and complete an application.
We at the Defiance County Board of Developmental Disabilities/Good Samaritan School continue each and every day to work towards our mission which is “to enrich the lives and meet the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and their community throughout their lifetime.”
We also encourage feedback from each and everyone of you so if you have a moment please take time to complete our survey and the link to it is:

Hope you have a Happy Fall Season!!
