Schools

Senate Bill 22 limits health departments to providing advisories and recommendations only. Return-to-school plans and what the learning environment will look like this year is a decision of local school boards. Medina County Health Department is working closely with all schools through the superintendent to advise on local conditions. Each school will be making a decision on what’s best for their district.
