Welcome to the Columbia Local School District

 

 

HISTORY OF COLUMBIA SCHOOLS FACILITIES

 

A little over 200 years ago, Bela Bronson opened his log cabin for schooling. For the next 85 years, Columbia’s children would be educated in seven schools scattered throughout the township, including a sandstone building on Osborne Road, brick buildings on South Boone and Akins Roads, and in 1877, a 30 foot by 40 foot brick building on the southeast corner of West River and Royalton Roads, costing $6,000. The upstairs was used as a school, the downstairs as the Town Hall. This building is destroyed by a fire “of suspicious origin” in 1895.    Read More...

 


Special Board of Education Meeting

At a Special Board of Education meeting held on February 6, 2010, your Board of Education declared the necessity of submitting to the electors of the Columbia Local School District the single question of the issuance of school facilities improvement bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 and the levy of an additional 1.25 Mill tax to provide funds for the acquisition, construction, enlargement, renovation, and financing of general permanent improvements. 

 

Please continue to check this website for updates.  Information will be posted on this main page as well as in the Raider Resources and Treasurer's sections.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call Superintendent Graig Bansek at 440/236-5008.

FREE OR REDUCED-PRICE SCHOOL MEALS

Children need healthy meals to learn. The Columbia Local Schools offer healthy meals every school day. Lunch costs $2.50 at Copopa Elementary, and $2.75 at Columbia Middle and High Schools.

 

Your children may qualify for free meals or for reduced-price meals. Reduced price is 40¢ for lunch.

 

Children in households getting Food Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Ohio Works First (OWF) and most foster children can get free meals regardless of your income. Also, your children can get free or reduced-price meals if your household income is within limits on the Federal Income Guidelines.

 

Applications for free or reduced-price meals are available from all school offices. If you have any questions or need help, call Pat Cieslak, Secretary to the Superintendent at 440/236-1213.
