Board to endorse feasibility study for rural health grant to explore on‑site services
Summary
Access Family Services proposed partnering with the district to apply for an Ohio Department of Health rural health transformation grant to study feasibility of on-site health services for students and families; superintendent will provide a letter of support and the partner will perform stakeholder outreach and a feasibility study.
The superintendent told the board that Access Family Services has asked the district to partner on an application for a rural health transformation grant through the Ohio Department of Health to explore whether the district could host an on‑site health care site for students and families.
She said the partner would perform stakeholder outreach and a feasibility study to determine if the district has the capacity and community need for a long-term health site and requested a letter of support so the partner could pursue the grant. The superintendent stressed the feasibility study would determine scope, eligibility and next steps if the grant were awarded.
Why it matters: An on-site health service could increase access to primary and routine care for students and families in a rural area where many currently travel to neighboring towns for care.
Next steps: Superintendent to provide a letter of support and coordinate stakeholder engagement if Access Family Services proceeds with the grant application and feasibility work.
