The Poland Board of Education voted on Dec. 19 to approve the hiring of Dr. Ronald Chordas to develop a five year-strategic plan for the Poland Local School District.
The plan seeks to create a vision for the future of Poland Schools. It will identify short- and long-range goals, and the necessary strategies to meet those goals.
Chordas is an instructor at YSU who teaches strategic planning, and evaluation and fiscal management for nonprofits. His Youngstown firm, Chordas Studios, has lead similar community-involved strategic plans for the Diocese of Youngstown, the United Way of the Mahoning Valley, Ursuline High School, and the Rich Center for Autism at YSU.
The Board of Education is seeking community members to participate in the strategic-planning process. For more information, contact Larry Dinopoulos via email at

“The Board is determined to provide our students with the best in curriculum, staff, and school facilities,” said Board President Richard “Beau” Weaver. “We believe this plan will help everyone remain focused on the needs of the district, while continuing to be cognizant of the type of school district our community and taxpayers desire.”
