GALION — The Galion City Schools Board of Education declared Tuesday, Dec. 15 “Galion City Schools Excellent Pandemic Response Day” during the regular December board meeting.

The proclamation aims to recognize the tireless efforts of Galion City Schools staff, students, and families who have made the 2020-2021 school year possible.

“We are extremely proud of all our district staff for their dedication to our students’ educational, emotional, and social needs during this pandemic,” Board of Education President Grant Garverick said. “We also need to recognize our students and their families for going above and beyond, and for their unwavering support for the district during these challenging times.”

The proclamation specifically recognizes the individual efforts of Galion’s first-year superintendent Jennifer Allerding and her leadership during this unprecedented time in the district’s history.

“Mrs. Allerding has done an incredible job during this pandemic,” Garverick said. “She has dedicated many hours to ensure that our students, staff, and families have access to the information and resources they need to be successful. We are very lucky to have Mrs. Allerding as our superintendent.”
