Please understand that campus environments have been utilized all over the state for a very long time.
Perhaps not so much in Cuyahoga Falls or the immediate area, but the reality is many, many districts incorporate a campus model for several reasons.
One of the reasons is to provide educational opportunities for kids.
Currently, we have three buildings on different sites with staff who are attempting to collaborate in an effort to provide opportunities for kids at their cognitive level.
In the past, students in a particular grade were predominately prescribed the same measures in terms of educational delivery; for example, the vast majority of 8th grade students took 8th grade math.
Today, for example, 8th grade students take everything from 8th grade math to geometry and do
so in mass. Additionally, having 7-12 staff on the same campus allows for
great flexibility.
o The notion that 12th grade students regularly harass or otherwise corrupt
7th grade students simply hasn't come to fruition in more than 20 years
of administration mostly spent in campus settings.
In fact, it is generally the opposite; older students tend to serve as role models, especially if the
culture of the campus is designed to enhance the philosophy...very much the same as our 5th grade crossing guards take great care and concern for the Kindergarten students.
