Warren City School leaders announce esports pilot and drone-league competition at new Student Recreation & Wellness Center
Summary
Superintendent reported the Student Recreation & Wellness Center will host a district-only pilot year of student activities, including an Esports competition on Nov. 23 and a Trumbull County drone-league event planned for April 12 tied to a regional grant.
At the Oct. 22 meeting the Warren City Board heard details about programming at the new Student Recreation & Wellness Center, including a district-only approach in the center's first year and two upcoming competitive events.
Superintendent Mr Shyro said the district will not open the center to outside organizations during the first year but will host student-centered activities tied to curriculum and extracurricular goals. He announced an inaugural Esports competition set for Saturday, Nov. 23, and said teams will include representatives from the TCTC (Mahoney County Career and Technical Center), Champion, Corland/Curland, Liberty, Mineral Ridge and Youngstown East.
Shyro also said the district is piloting a drone program and will host a Trumbull County drone-league competition on Saturday, April 12, using the center's small and large gyms and under a grant coordinated through the Trumbull County Educational Service Center.
The superintendent highlighted that the center now has a second Esports lab and spectator space, enabling live viewing of matches, and that the district plans to use the facility for other activities such as golf-simulator winter training and youth clinics.
Board members thanked staff for programming work and noted staff and community partners (including Mr Nicholson and others mentioned in the meeting) are coordinating schedules to maximize student access.
No formal board action was taken specifically on the event announcements; related facility and grant matters were included separately on the consent agenda.
