5 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 8 THE PLAINFI ELD COMMUNI T Y SCHOOL CORPORAT ION day. It’s been a huge help for helping us provide those early stages of education for kids in our community. Plus, we are fortunate in that we have several other opportunities for kids. If they don’t come to us, there are ample opportunities for kids to enjoy the preschool process.” When COVID-related restrictions took a toll on the schools, the Town of Plainfield stepped in to help. “When the COVID hit,” said Olinger, “we had always been a one-to-one district for middle school and high school. But we were not for elementary, so when the pandemic hit, and we knew kids might have to be home and be home for a while, our town stepped up and provided laptops for every one of our elementary students. Our kids were able to function at home during that time.” Plus, the Town has agreed for the next few years to provide free laptop computers to kids in kindergarten through grade 12. This, said Olinger: “Is a huge help. They have always supported us, and we are very grateful for that.” Tutterow spoke of the school district’s vision.
