Strong support for new school buildings in Poland, survey shows

POLAND

Nearly 59 percent of people who live in the school district could support a plan to build new schools.

That’s one of the takeaways from a recent community survey to which 1,448 people responded.

The school board commissioned the Ohio School Boards Association to conduct and analyze the survey in an effort to gather more information about why 62 percent of voters in November voted against a bond issue to finance construction of a new school, and about what kind of facilities plan the community would support.

Although Superintendent David Janofa cautioned that the survey does not provide definitive answers, he called it a “useful tool” in school officials’ planning process.
