Welcome to the Citizens For Better Schools informational website. This website was established as a means to inform the citizens of North Ridgeville about key issues regarding our city schools, provide them with a way to interact and to ask questions.

Strong schools are one of the key foundations needed for a strong, vibrant community.  Another key foundation is an informed public and by providing another source of information and discussion about the schools, we hope to contribute to your understanding through straight talk.

What Is A Quarter Auction?
Each vendor provides 4 items to be bid on (which they receive ALL proceeds from) and 1 item to be donated to NRCBS (which they will receive ALL proceeds from---NRCBS will accept more than one donation, too!).  Each item up for bid will be displayed.  The program will outline what items are up for bid with a description and the retail value.  Additionally, the auctioneer will give a brief description, retail value and how many quarters are needed to bid.  Guests will give their bids (quarters) and hold up their numbered paddles.  If you have more than one paddle, you must place a bid for each one.  When all bids are collected, the auctioneer will draw a numbered chip from the container.  If the number on the paddle matches the number on the chip drawn, the guest wins that item.  If a matching numbered paddle is not held up, the auctioneer will draw again, until we have a winner.  Once we have a winner, all chips will be placed back in the container and go to the next item to be auctioned.
