Poland/Lowellville...a few questions... (Youngstown, Beavercreek: city hall, school districts, live)

[finallygreen]

Hello,

I've asked a few questions here about the area recently, as I was preparing to move there. Well now my family and I have arrived, and although we're quite happy, we're still running into some 'unknowns'. Hopefully some of you here will be kind enough to help us out

1. We THINK the kids will be in the Poland school district, but we won't be sure until we go to enroll them. We're wondering whether or not either of our potential school districts (Poland or Lowellville) have a mandatory dress code?

2. Garbage...as in....how and when is it collected here? If it makes a difference, we're technically in Lowellville.

I know there was a few more, but that's all I can remember for right now....

I think the better question would be, "Does Lowellville provide trash pick up, or do you have to hire your own?" I don't know the answer to that. If you have to hire your own, the big ones around here are BFI, Waste Management, and Allison Brothers.

Allison Brothers are local boys from Ellsworth Township.

You could E-mail the schools direct to find out their exact rules, and where their boundaries are.

I would think your realtor would know this information.

Without knowing exactly where you are, its tough to say, which district you're in or the garbage situation.

As for the dress code thing, as far as I know, (from knowing people who went to school there), there isn't. I think some Youngstown city schools have done that, but none in the suburbs that I know of.

What about calling your city hall? They are usually helpful in knowing which direction to point you in.

I am curious about Poland as well. I heard it is quite an attractive little town. Where are they located in direction to Youngstown? And how far are they from the city?

Its about 5 miles SSE of down Youngstown. Its a nice town, but its fairly "suburbanized" but its not like Boardman.

Thats fine, as long as its historical districts are intact. I went through Boardman once, and the traffic was a nightmare, might have been because it was a Saturday night, but I went to the Shops at Boardman Park and went into the Panera Bread there, and couldn't get out of the parking lot for a good 10 minutes, the traffic on Rt. 224 was horrible.

Yeah, you'll have that....224 during peak times (rush hour, etc.) is pretty nasty. I lived in Los Angeles for a good many years, so I'm OK with it....the Mrs. not so much

I won't have the answers about the school until tomorrow (got sidetracked today finding the kids' birth certificates/etc.), but I can answer the garbage issue now (in case anyone searches for this info later on). Here in Lowellville, you have to essentially hire a company to come and take your garbage (as South Range indicated earlier). I went with the one that seemed popular on my street, and they're charging me $50 every 3 months. The cost includes the use of their own lid-attached garbage can...which is kinda cool since those can cost $30 or more right there.

In another thread you were asking about fishing lakes. Since you are in Lowellville, you may be interested in joining the Lowellville rod and gun club. They have a really nice facility on Quarry Rd.

They are probably the most active club in the area. They put on fish fries, dinners, and all kinds of kids programs. I believe they may be having a chicken dinner this weekend.
