💙 Update for Our Ewing School Families 💙

A letter is being sent home with students today to help address some of the uncertainty surrounding the future of Ewing School following last week’s vote on our replacement levy.

Please know that things will remain as they are for the remainder of this school year, and our Board is meeting to discuss options for the future. Our goal remains to keep children learning, growing, and receiving support in this building — even if the program is not operated by WCBDD moving forward.

As decisions are made, we will continue to communicate openly with our staff, families, and community. We deeply appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued trust during this time. 💙

Ewing School is closed on November 10th and 11th.

The Patrol is proud to be part of Ohio’s Blue Envelope Program, a statewide initiative designed to support individuals with developmental disabilities during traffic stops and emergency situations by enhancing communication and reducing anxiety.

Participants carry a blue envelope containing key documents and information about their condition. This allows troopers to quickly understand how to best interact with the community member.

Each packet includes:
🔹 A blue envelope for documents and accommodation notes
🔹 A car decal to alert first responders
🔹 A program overview brochure

These envelopes are available for free through your local County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

💙 Our Commitment Continues

While the results of yesterday’s election mean that our replacement levy did not pass, we want to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to learn about the issue, ask questions, and cast a ballot.

Though this outcome presents challenges ahead, our mission remains the same — to support people in living, learning, working, and participating fully in our community.

We will now focus on identifying the best path forward as we remain dedicated to finding thoughtful solutions.

Thank you again to our staff, volunteers, families, and community partners who stood beside us throughout this effort. Your dedication truly embodies what makes Washington County special. 💙
