  • THE POLAND SCHOOLS December 4, 2017 - Update
    THE POLAND SCHOOLS December 4, 2017 - update To: All Personnel Re: Snow Delays/Closings From: David Janofa, Superintendent 1. With winter weather approaching, it is appropriate to review the districts’ policies and procedures in the event it is necessary to delay or close schools due to hazardous weather/road conditions. 2. Should the school district exceed the maximum numbers of calamity days per negotiated agreement, makeup days would be added at the end of the school year. The first makeup day would be Thursday, June 6 and additional days would be consecutively scheduled week days. Teacher report day would be the weekday following the last makeup day. 3. Decisions to delay or close schools will be made in most instances between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. Any change in the normal school schedule will be announced to staff, students, and the public through these methods: . TV Channels: 21, 27, 33, and 62 . Radio Stations: 570 AM-WKBN, 1390 AM-WNIO, 93.3 WNCD, 95.9 FM-WAKZ (KISS), 98.9 FM-WMXY, 106.1 FM-WBBG, 101 FM-HOT, and Y103 FM. http://www.poland.k12.oh.us/ or WKBN.com or WYFX.com or Polandbulldogs.com . “All Call” computerized phone notification to parents/employees 4. Should a delay be implemented, here are some important procedures to remember: A two hour delay means all schools simply start two hours later. Students’ hours for example would be: High School would start at 9:45 a.m. instead of 7:45 a.m. Middle School and McKinley Elem. would start at 10:35 a.m.

  • Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.
