Wadsworth schools to have graduation, prom answers in coming weeks

Monday’s announcement from Gov. Mike DeWine included all schools in Ohio will remain closed the rest of this academic year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the Wadsworth School District, this means the remote learning plan will continue through May 28, the end of the school year.

“Now that we know how the rest of this school year will progress, we will communicate with you in the near future on items that include the following,” Superintendent Dr. Andy Hill said in an email.

– Alternative date(s), beginning in June, for commencement and prom. Whether we will be able to move forward with the alternate date(s) will be dependent on further guidance from our Governor

– Details on refunds for items like spring sport participation fees

– A process, which will adhere to current safety measures and that will need to be approved by the Medina County Health Department, to allow students into our buildings to pick up personal belongings and to return items once the school year is over.
