A trial program at Shawnee schools is giving students the chance to have their teeth looked at by a dentist, without having to take a step out of their school building. The schools, along with Smile Programs and Ohio Dental Outreach, are offering a program this year, where professionals come to the school and offer a dental exam to students. 

A former Shawnee schools employee was indicted by an Allen County grand jury for theft of more than $56,000.

In the wake of several school shootings just this year - training staff to prepare for such a situation is becoming a more common practice, and Shawnee Schools is no exception.
