Spartan Nation,
First and foremost, I want to thank the Boardman community for its support and for believing in our students and our schools. We recognize that this support comes with a great deal of trust and responsibility, and we do not take that for granted.
At the same time, yesterday’s results do not eliminate the financial challenges facing Boardman Local Schools. We still have difficult work ahead of us, and we will continue to make responsible decisions with the resources our community has provided.
We must also continue advocating at the state level for meaningful school funding reform. Our communities deserve a fair, predictable funding system that allows us to provide the educational opportunities our students deserve without placing an ever-increasing burden on local taxpayers.
We are grateful for your support. Today, we get back to work for our students and our community.
Go Spartans!
Superintendent Neifer

Our little West Boulevard voters in Mrs. Bennett and Miss K’s class had an important decision to make today… Which cookie is the BEST: Chocolate Chip or Oreo?
After casting their votes and counting the results, we have a winner… OREOS!
We love finding fun ways to introduce our students to voting, making choices, and learning about the election process! ❤️🤍💙

Sneak Peak of the Homecoming Band Performance! It takes practice, but also it was so much fun as dozens of alumni attended a 90 minute practice Thursday with the current marching band!
More than 300 alumni are expected, and there will be another run through a few hours before Kickoff on October 2. The Band's alumni will join them for halftime.
Seeing this in person is the BEST way--but you can also watch on BSTN's livestream of tonight's game.
West Boulevard students enjoyed their first Big/Little Spartan afternoon on Friday!! They got to know each other better while coloring and chatting about their favorite things.
🎉 What an amazing way to start the school year! 🎉
Boardman Subaru surprised our teachers at Boardman Glenwood Junior High with a $15,000 donation and school supply kits! ❤️📚✏️

What a great performance from the Boardman Spartan Marching Band today, as they helped kick off Opening Day at the Canfield Fair.
Section leaders played the National Anthem at the Opening Ceremony, where Spartan Alum Bernie Kosar was among the dignitaries on the stage.
The Traditional Band Show at the Grandstand was filled with wonderful music from 14 bands across the Valley-- and in this "100th Anniversary Year" of the Boardman Marching Band- we could not be more Spartan proud!!

The students were called out of class thinking they might be in trouble, but instead Superintendent Chris Neifer, Mr. Cardillo, and members of the Boardman Board of Education were waiting with certificates honoring them for earning perfect scores on this year’s state math assessment.
Congratulations to Jensen, Emilia, Subhan, Jack, Kevin, Connor, Steve, and Charley on this outstanding achievement! Kudos as well to their proud teachers: Mrs. Snyder, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Paulini, Ms. Mohl, and Mrs. Hughes.
