August 24, 2023 — With the launch of the new school year, the Chardon Board of Education is pleased to resume its yearly tradition of hosting a student(s) Pledge of Allegiance leader at regular monthly Board meetings. The BOE welcomed month of August Pledge contest winners Chardon Middle School sixth-grade student Carter Hruska and Park Elementary third-grade student Landon Hruska to the Aug. 21 regular board meeting.
