Why WELL?

“By the time a student graduates high school, they will have spent more than 15,000 hours in a school, which is the second longest indoor exposure time after their home. For K-12 students, this is a time of critical physiological, social, and emotional growth and development, [when they are susceptible] to many indoor conditions including indoor air pollution, mold, elevated noise levels, radon, asbestos, inadequate lighting and more”

“Our goal is to make our buildings and facilities as conducive as possible to the health and wellness of our students and staff in the district...there is nothing more important to parents than the health of their children...the kids walking the halls of those schools are the future of Orrville. That really makes this an easy decision.”

— Jon Ritchie, Superintendent, Orrville School District
