Grants in Action | 2026/2027 School Year

Every school day, Perrysburg Schools’ transportation team plays an essential role in helping students arrive safely and ready to learn. The Transportation Department has grown significantly since its facility was built in 1991; however, the size of the physical building makes it difficult for the 55 employees to find space to relax, enjoy lunch, or connect with colleagues between routes.

Recognizing the importance of supporting those who care for our students, Director of Transportation Stefanie Fliter proposed a creative solution through a Perrysburg Schools Foundation grant: transforming an outdoor area into a welcoming gathering space for transportation employees. The project includes tables and seating that invite personal connections, a shaded pavilion, and a blacktop pad to create a comfortable, accessible place for staff to take breaks, recharge, and build connections with their coworkers.
