“Environment where students are willing and supported to take

risks. . .”

What is a public conversion community school?

• When a school district converts a building and or a program to community (charter) status.

• This releases the school from many of the state mandates and allows for the educational plan to be better tailored to the students' needs.

• Schnee Learning Center is an open-enrollment school Tier 1 school that is sponsored by the Cuyahoga Falls School District.

What are some benefits of Schnee Learning Center?

• Students work at their own level pace when working Plato Labs and during a shorter school day.

• The shorter day allows students to adjust their schedules for work purposes.

• There is no homework. • Students may qualify to participate in extra

curricular activities within the Cuyahoga Falls City School District.

• Students who graduate from Schnee Learning Center receive a high school diploma.
