Galion City Schools is implementing several new student safety measures.
Beginning Monday, April 20, revised Board Policy 5514 will allow pedal-powered bicycles on campus only with a helmet and while staying on sidewalks. Students may drive if they have a valid license and a valid high school parking permit. E-bikes, scooters, e-scooters, and similar devices will no longer be permitted or stored on campus as of Monday, April 20.
On Tuesday, May 5, students in grades 3 through 8 will participate in a 45-minute Safe on the Move lesson focused on pedestrian, bike, and e-bike/e-scooter safety. This will become an annual lesson moving forward.
Also on May 5, free bike helmet fittings and free helmets will be available during lunch for students in grades 3 through 8 who need them.
These changes are designed to help keep kids safe.

"You may notice Galion looking a little more PURPLE this month! 💜
In honor of the Month of the Military Child, many amazing local businesses have teamed up with Galion City Schools to help “Paint the Town Purple” and show support for the children of our military families.
Be on the lookout for purple decorations, windows, signs, and displays throughout town as businesses show their appreciation for the strength and sacrifice of military kids.
And mark your calendar for Purple Up Day on April 22 — we invite everyone in our community to wear purple and join us in celebrating military children!
Want to join in the fun? Here are a few decorating ideas! 💜
Use symbols like flags, stars, ribbons, or words like strength, resilience, and service in your displays. You can decorate windows, create signs, or even use chalk on your sidewalks to show your support. Just a few fun ways to participate!
If you spot a purple display around town, snap a photo and share it! 📸
Tag us and use #GalionCitySchools and #PurpleUpGalion so we can see all the support across our community!"
