A New Home for Chardon Local Schools District Operations
In late 2023, Chardon Local Schools embarked on the design of a new two-building Business Affairs and Transportation Facility, located a few blocks from the high school, to enhance operational efficiency and support student success. This state-of-the-art facility includes professional maintenance bays for buses, workshop spaces for fabrication, a staff meeting area, and offices for various departments.
The two buildings under construction will feature modern equipment and address the many challenges faced by the transportation and maintenance departments, which currently operate in cramped, aging spaces. District mechanics will be able to maintain the $3.6 million vehicle fleet in the new facility that will include reinforced parking spaces, a dedicated driver training lot, and secure fuel access.
The larger operations building houses business offices, a professional development room, a repair workshop, and a storage area. The smaller transportation center is specialized for vehicle maintenance with expansive service bays and a bus lift. The new Chardon Local Schools operations facility will improve the work environment for staff, protect the critical taxpayer investment, and enhance student safety.
The project will ensure that students and community members continue to receive the best possible transportation service provided by skilled, dedicated staff members. The new Business Affairs and Transportation Facility will improve efficiency in a more pleasing environment that will directly support the learning experience and safety of every student in the Chardon Local School District.
