Strongsville Schools Discuss Online Start To School Year

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Strongsville Schools leaders are considering the county board of health's recommendation to start the school year online.

The Cuyahoga County Board of Health also recommended halting all extracurricular activities, including sports, because of their ability to rapidly spread COVID-19 among students. Strongsville Superintendent Cameron Ryba said he will be discussing the recommendations with the district's athletic conference.

Ryba said he is also set to take part in a meeting between school superintendents and board of health officials.

"I will provide an update on Sunday as to next steps the district will take due to these recommendations," Ryba said in an email to the community.

Strongsville Schools officials continue to discuss reopening plans for the 2020-2021 school year. The district recently decided all students would have to wear face coverings while in buildings or on buses.
