(CBSN)
Thanks for your interest in the Campus Based Schools Network (CBDN).
The morning of Wednesday, June 18, 2025 has been set for the annual meeting for the Central Region of CBDN.
IGS Energy, located at 6100 Emerald Parkway, Dublin, Ohio, has offered to host our annual meeting. The meeting will be held in their conference room. We have scheduled coffee/juice and breakfast snacks at 9:00 am and will conclude the program at 11:15 am.
The program will provide an opportunity for networking as well as presentations on best practices in campus-based districts, the availability and use of energy in Ohio schools and the state of Ohio schools’ financing. The meeting will conclude with a review of the CBN mission and vision as well as future opportunities for those interested in learning more about campus-based districts.
We would hope that you and/or a representative(s) of your organization are able to attend. We believe that the Mission/Vision of the CBDN aligns well with that of your organization.
Feel free to text/email me any of the following responses:

A network to explore the nature of school districts with all buildings centralized on a single campus
CBSN PLAN FOR EXPLORING THE VALUE OF CAMPUS BASED SCHOOLS
Nine Founding Members govern the network. Founding Members will establish policy as well as when, where and how often members will meet. The Chair and Vice Chair of the Network are appointed in alternate years by the Founding Members each for a two-year term. A semi-annual Newsletter and website provides communication.
CBSN MEMBERSHIP
All school districts having a governing board are eligible to have members enrolled. There is no cost for membership and membership applications will include the name of the school district, as well as contact information, including phone number and email address.
CAMPUS BASED SCHOOLS NETWORK
Provides a framework for the discussion of geographically centralizing school buildings on a single site. This centralization, coupled with a focus on those attributes which characterize successful schools, provides the backdrop for discussion by those districts that are currently or planning to have all school buildings on a single site.
SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES
• More than 55 million students K-12.
• Over 14,000 school districts and 130,000 school buildings.
• The average school building enrolls a little over 500 students.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL SCHOOLS
• Have exemplary leaders who are effective in promoting achievement.
• Have a common goal and vision developed collectively.
• Have staff members who believe all students can achieve and attain high standards.
• Treat students with respect and provide and meet the students’ individual needs.
• Provide staff with training in line with the school’s vision and mission.
PreK-12 education has become more expensive and academic achievement more elusive. Charter schools, vocational schools, alternative schools, and magnet schools are on the rise as more and more legislators, teachers and parents work together to create additional educational opportunities for all children.
