Avon Community School Corporation August 27, 2020

Avon School Resource Officer Chosen as Indiana SRO of the Year Officer Dan Rukes from the Town of Avon Police Department was selected as the Indiana School Resource Officer of the Year by the Indiana School Resource Officer Association (INSROA). He was presented with an award last month during the INSROA Conference. The ACSC School Board also recognized Officer Rukes with a Commendation at a recent meeting. As we mentioned in a previous issue, ACSC launched its own Police Department this year. With this transition, Officer Rukes elected to continue serving as an SRO for our district this year to assist our new officers. We are grateful for the strong relationship between the Avon Police Department and our new School Police Department to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

Important Message Regarding Oriole Gold Cards

For the past several years, Avon Community Schools has been pleased to offer the Oriole Gold Card to our local residents who are 65 and older. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, our event venues now have much lower capacity for individuals to watch sports and fine arts performances. Therefore, ACSC has suspended the use of Oriole Gold Cards for the 2020-21 school year. We remain hopeful that we will once again be able to offer and honor Oriole Gold Cards next year. We appreciate your understanding.
