What Eastwood Local Schools does

Eastwood Local Schools is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Pemberville, Ohio, serving approximately 1,400 students across four schools: Eastwood Elementary School (K-5, opened August 2017), Eastwood Middle School (6-8), Eastwood High School (9-12), and Eastwood Preschool (ages 3-5, operated in partnership with Wood County Educational Service Center). Founded in 1958 through the consolidation of five predecessor districts (Luckey, North Troy Twp., Pemberville, Webster Twp., and Union Local), the district spans 105 square miles across seven Wood County communities (Dunbridge, Luckey, Lemoyne, New Rochester, Pemberville, Scotch Ridge, and Stony Ridge). The district's product portfolio centers on standard K-12 instructional services, dual enrollment college credit programs (15 courses through Bowling Green State University and University of Findlay, with approximately 50% of Class of 2017 graduating with some college credit), Career Tech through Penta Career Center, gifted education, special education (ages 5-21), and a 5-star-rated integrated preschool program.

The district operates a unified technology stack across all K-12 classrooms: a 1:1 Chromebook program for every student, Schoology as the learning management system (adopted August 2017 for grades 3-12), GoGuardian for device monitoring and student safety, Clever for single sign-on, and Google Workspace for Education. Supplemental instructional tools include STAR Math, Accelerated Reader, IXL, Edpuzzle, BrainPOP, Gizmos, Quizlet, and Screencastify. Administrative systems include DASL ProgressBook (SIS), FinalForms (enrollment and forms), PaySchools Central (payments), SameGoal (IEP management), Red Rover (enrollment data), Remind (communications), and Finalsite (web platform). The district is fully compliant with FERPA, COPPA, CIPA, and Ohio Senate Bill 29, with signed Data Privacy Agreements for all digital resources.

As a political subdivision of the State of Ohio, Eastwood Local Schools is funded primarily through state foundation aid, local property taxes, and federal grants, with ancillary revenue from food services, athletics, and facility rentals. The district is governed by an elected five-member Board of Education (Randy Rothenbuhler, President) and led by Superintendent Brian Hughes, with a Treasurer (Monica Leppelmeier) and a team of directors overseeing Curriculum, Technology, Student Services, Food Services, Athletics, and Transportation. As of 2026, the Board has approved initial resolutions to place a facilities project on the November ballot, which would include construction of a new grades 5-12 building and renovations to the existing high school campus, alongside several senior leadership refreshes including new building-level principals and a Director of Curriculum.
