May 14, 2020
Dear North Royalton City Schools' Community,
May is always a busy time of the year for North
Royalton City Schools, but this year is vastly different than other years. Rather than be busy with
all the end-of-the-year activities, we are instead busy trying to formulate plans and prepare for the end of the 2019-20 school year and start of 2020-21 school year. While this may sound like a normal ending to a year, the issue we have is that there are far more questions than answers. I want to assure the community that as we
receive guidance from the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Health, and begin to formulate our plans for the coming year, we will continue to communicate with you as we have over this period of school closure.
As we say goodbye to the Class of 2020, we wish them much success and know that they will make us proud as they move onto their next steps at college, the military or in their careers. I am sorry their careers with our schools did not end as we all had hoped, but I do know that they have made us proud for the last 13 years and that will continue as they move on to their next steps
May 22 is the last day of teaching and learning for the 2019-20 school year. I want to wish everyone a very safe and relaxing summer. I hope that you find this monthly newsletter informative and a good way to keep you up to date on the happenings of our schools and the Board of Education. I would welcome any thoughts and comments that you have in regards to this or anything dealing with the North
Royalton City Schools. Please call me at 440-582-9030 or email me at
greg.gurka@northroyaltonsd.org.
Sincerely,
Greg Gurka
Superintendent
North Royalton City Schools

Graph 1 compares our monthly operating receipts to the prior year actual for the first 10 months of our fiscal year (July 2019 through June 2020). It further estimates our collection through our fiscal year end. You will notice two large collection points in our fiscal year. These two months are considerably higher due to real estate collection representing over 70% of our revenues.
Graph 2 compares our monthly operating expenditures to the prior year actual for the first
10 months of our fiscal year (July 2019 through June 2020). It further estimates our expenditures through our fiscal year end. You will notice a consistent expenditure pattern throughout our fiscal year due to salaries and wages evenly distributed throughout our fiscal year.
Graph 3 illustrates the current actual accumulative monthly operating revenues and expenditures for the first 10months of our fiscal year (July 2019 through June 2020). It further estimates our accumulative revenues and expenditures through our fiscal year end. You will notice a gradual increase in both revenues and expenditures as we approach our fiscal year end where revenues and expenditures eventually meet.
Graph 4 illustrates our fiscal year to date operating expenditures by category for the first
10 months of our fiscal year (July 2019 through June 2020).
Salaries & Wages represent approximately 60%, Fringe Benefits 24%, Purchased Services 12%, Materials, Supplies & Textbooks 3%, Capital Outlay and Operational Fees 4%.

Celebrating the NRHS Class of 2020
The Ohio Department of Education, as well as Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health have outlined this week more specifically what is permitted for high school commencements. After meetings with our senior student officers, parents, teachers and administration, we all agree that we need to find a way to both recognize and celebrate our North Royalton High School Class of 2020. Although the recognition and celebration may occur at different moments in time, we are committed to do just that.
Our original commencement date was set for Friday, May 29. In order to maintain as much normalcy as possible and to allow our graduates the opportunity to receive their actual diploma and commence from North Royalton High School, we have developed a plan to allow our students to commence during the week of May 26 - 30. Our graduates, dressed in their caps and gowns, will have the opportunity to participate in a structured and controlled in-person ceremony. They will be able to walk across the stage of our Performing Arts Center in the presence of their immediate family** to be recognized for their accomplishments, receive their diploma, turn their tassel with pride, and take a professional picture, all while being professionally videotaped.
After all students have commenced, a first-class, professionally produced movie will be debuted in June for not only the Class of 2020 to watch, but our entire North Royalton and Broadview Heights community. More details will be communicated soon to seniors and their families about the process and signing up for a personalized commencement appointment.
**Due to Ohio Department of Health regulations, no more than 10 people will be permitted in the PAC, which also includes the administration and videographers.
Once again this year, the North Royalton Education Association and the administration provided each senior with a yard sign celebrating their graduation.
In addition, as we know our students would like to celebrate as a class, when it is safe and in the best interest of the health of everyone involved, the District hopes to plan an event, hopefully in our stadium, in conjunction with our students and parents.

"Thank you SO much for joining us! While we had originally planned for an elaborate, interactive, carnival themed event this time around, the show must go on (virtually)! We are so proud of our NAHS students and how hard they've worked this year, and we know they deserve to be celebrated for their efforts! Please enjoy viewing the video slideshow, close up photos of the individual works, explore the pieces our students are selling, and read about the artists themselves! We are so grateful for your support of our amazing students and our art program now and always!"
