Key Communicator

Welcome to the Kirtland Schools’ Key Communicator e-newsletter. We hope to use this tool as a two-way form of communication to share the good news going on in our classrooms, and also provide you with facts in the event of negative situations. We hope you will act as informal communications liaisons with the community and let us know what you’re hearing so we can proactively provide you with the facts of what’s happening in your schools. Thank you for your support!                                                      

 


KIRTLAND LOCAL SCHOOLS UPDATE July 26, 2023

The Special Board of Education meeting on July 26, 2023, had three items for the Board to vote on. 

  • Mr. Bob Race was approved to become the middle school principal for the next three school years. Mr. Race demonstrated strong leadership and did an amazing job of leading KMS last school year as the assistant principal. Mr. Race has built strong relationships with students, staff and the community in his first year in the district. He was a strong curricular leader and would do whatever task that was asked of him. We are excited to have Mr. Race as the principal at KMS! 

           

 
  • Mr. Victor Puskas was approved to be the next principal at Kirtland High School. Mr. Puskas was a science teacher at Chagrin Falls High School for seven years and then was the assistant principal at West Geauga High School for the past two school years. He went through an extensive interview process including a final round interview with 16 people that included teachers, an administrative assistant, guidance counselors, administrators, parents and students.  The committee collectively was excited and in agreement that Mr. Puskas was a great choice to be our next high school principal. Future announcements will be coming regarding opportunites for students, staff, parents and the community to meet Mr. Puskas.

          



 
  • The Board approved a change order for $3,417.60 to relocate the play clock as its current location was blocking the view of the scoreboard from the playing field.
