NHS Walking Track Open to Public

The Norwood High School walking track will now be open for use to Norwood residents, Principal George Usevich wrote in a recent announcement.

Anyone wishing to use the facility must fill out an application form and submit information for a CORI background check.

"CORI requests are a routine procedure by the school department for all personnel, including those who act as chaperones for various activity," a letter from Usevich reads. "Our student athletes will be using the high school facilities into the evening each day as residents are also accessing the walking track."

Applications can be delivered to any school office in the district, including the Superintendent's office.

Once residents have been cleared they will be issued a photo I.D. pass that must be worn while on the walking track. The track will be open from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. on weeknights.
