It is the objective of the Office of Business and Operations of the Cuyahoga Falls City School District to support the instructional efforts of the teaching staff in every way possible.  We intend to provide efficient and effective school bus transportation services to our eligible students.  We work diligently to provide a safe and secure environment to our students and staff.  We mean to provide healthy and tasty meals to our students so they can concentrate on their studies while in our classrooms.  We intend to maintain our facilities in a manner that will maximize their support of the educational process while minimizing expenses.

It is our goal to do these things in a cost effective manner, to use taxpayer dollars prudently and to respond to the needs of our students, staff and citizens.  Your thoughts, comments and suggestions for improvement in our operations are always welcome.  Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

I encourage you to visit the web pages of our departments.  Information is provided that will answer many of your questions.  If you desire to have other informational items added to a particular department’s web page, please contact the Supervisor directly.
