Safety
With all of the changes taking place, total separation will be complete between the schools and the construction sites very soon. We ask that the schools remind their staff and students that the construction areas are off limits. Safety of all staff and students is priority one and is discussed with our workers during their orienations.

With the traffic pattern changes the CFD Station #19 and #24 along with Worthington Fire & EMS remind us that in the events of an emergency situation that exact instructions are given to the 911 operator on how emergency vehicles should enter the facility. This applied to both schools and the construction sites.

Effective Monday morning, May 10^th, we will close the fences circling the construction area and put into effect the new traffic and parking patterns for OSD.  Attached is the Traffic & Parking at OSD site map showing the new traffic and parking plans for you to keep and study.

   For OSD's Neighbors:
   As Superintendent of the Ohio School for the Deaf (OSD), I feel it is important to communicate with you about the new school and residence buildings being built on our campus.  By now, you have seen the arrival of heavy construction equipment and have noticed the removal of trees that are in the "footprint" of the new school and residence buildings.  Simultaneously, Columbus Gas Company has been clearing brush and scrub trees from the right-of-way over the path of their gas line that parallels the OSD/OSSB property line and in the reserve area.

   The OSD Staff and students have been involved in a long process of designing the new school and residence buildings.  We at OSD are very excited about our new school and residence buildings for our current and future students! You can learn more about the Ohio School for the Deaf and the new facilities being built by visiting our web site:

   www.ohioschoolforthedeaf.org

   Another convenient way to keep you informed about our progress would be through e-mail updates.  If you would like to receive regular e-mail updates on our new construction, please send me an e-mail requesting that your name be added to that distribution list.  Please send an e-mail to Corbett@osd.oh.gov to be added to this list.

   If you have any questions or concerns regarding the building of our new facilities, feel free to send me an e-mail or to call me at 728-1556.

   Sincerely,

   

   Edward E. Corbett, Jr.
   Superintendent
