Vinton County Middle School and Vinton County High School students and staff were evacuated on September 14th in response to a bomb threat that occurred on the campus. A School Messenger call went out to inform parents/guardians and request that they pick up their children. In addition, buses were called in for regular route transport. Buckeye Hills students and elementary students remained in class throughout the day. Law enforcement and explosive detection canines completed a sweep of the campus buildings. Once the two buildings were determined safe to re-enter, briefing sessions occurred with staff at each building. In addition, all personnel were praised for their teamwork and efficiency in this evacuation and early dismissal process. Students were permitted back into the facilities this afternoon to get their items from classrooms and lockers. School administration and law enforcement are currently investigating the threat. School will be in session Thursday, September 15 districtwide.Respectfully, Mr. Brooks VCLSD Superintendent

Vinton County Local School District has a seat at the table for the next two years with the Ohio Department of Education, thanks to Spanish Teacher Gildy Smith. She recently learned she was chosen to be a member of the Ohio Teacher Leader Liaison Network for Cohort 4! The cohort is composed of innovative and prestigious teachers from across the state of Ohio. Forty five Ohio teachers were selected for the committee to engage with the Department on topics related to current and future education initiatives that support Each Child, Our Future: Ohio's Strategic Plan for Education. As an OTLL she will gain knowledge and skills related to trust-building, communications, feedback and use of data as well as acquiring understanding of state government roles and processes related to education.The cohort will meet eight times each year – two in person and six virtual. In June, the ODE holds a Teacher Leadership Summit in Columbus, where teachers can learn from other Teacher Leaders and give presentations on topics related to education or successful programs in their districts. This is a tremendous opportunity for Señora Smith, and really, our entire district.
