Kasparzyk said a referee, identified in his remarks as Alan Radlinski, suffered a seizure during the Southview-Walsh Jesuit game. Kasparzyk said the trainers responded immediately, retrieved a defibrillator (which was not used), summoned first responders and assisted until emergency medical personnel arrived. He said firefighters and an ambulance arrived on the field and transported Radlinski to Flower Hospital.

At the meeting Kasparzyk told the board he later learned Radlinski died \"on the last day of the season.\" Dr. Motley thanked Kasparzyk for bringing the account to the board and said she would find the trainers to convey the board’s gratitude.

Kasparzyk recommended the district post the trainers’ names or photos on the district website so the community can formally recognize their response. Board members thanked him for attending and for sharing the account.

The remarks were delivered during the meeting’s public-comment period and did not prompt any formal board action during the session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Meeting - March 17th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Toledo resident commended Southview athletic trainers for their immediate response to a medical emergency at a March 15 lacrosse game.

Southview High School

The board recognized Southview students who scored 26 or higher on the ACT and presented awards to members of the Southview boys basketball team and coaching staff. Coach Springs was named cardinal-division coach of the year for 2025, and Jaron (Jeron/Juwan) Witcher was recognized as the NLL player of the year for the cardinal division. The board called each listed player and coach to the podium to receive certificates.

Dance and other athletics

Southview’s dance team, which attended the OASSA state and UDA national championships, and Northview’s dance and cheer teams were recognized for recent competition results. Northview swimmer/diver Madeline Horton was noted as the 2025 OASSA state diving champion and a first-team all-NLL selection in the Buckeye division. Northview’s dance team placed fourth in hip hop and sixth in both pom and contemporary lyrical at the 2025 OASSA State Dance Championships; coaches and team members were called forward and received certificates.

The board applauded the students and coaches and noted that recognition is one of the most enjoyable parts of the role. Certificates were presented and the board recessed the recognition segment to continue the regular meeting.

Names cited during the recognition segment (as read at the meeting) included Jaron Witcher, Antonio Smith, Dalen Selman, Trent Riggs, Maxwell Powers, Dylan Morrow, Maurice McArthur, William Maisies, Jonathan March Jr., Adam LaPla, Brandon Ingram Jr., Damien Clay and others on the Southview roster; dance team members and coaches including Heather, Kara Zielinski and Alyssa Koller were also listed by the board for Northview and Southview.","The board honored student-athletes and teams from Southview and Northview high schools at its March 17 meeting, presenting certificates to athletes and coaches for high ACT scores, conference honors and state-level dance/diving results.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6125450,"Sylvania Board approves consent agenda, accepts $10,000 VFW donation and adopts religious release-time policy",2312,352000,2664000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2677075-d23b91c147d2e46338c96996299b1d92&start=352&end=2664","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2677075-d23b91c147d2e46338c96996299b1d92/thumbnail_352000.jpg","/articles/6125450/Ohio/Sylvania-Board-approves-consent-agenda-accepts-10000-VFW-donation-and-adopts-religious-release-time-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6125450-bef73ec7dc60f755141e44cf20d5e7d3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153452&Signature=DEk5L9gxinNNn8N8mlrE0Mb96eFDax7Ino8k5R~lUTfeqZ2C-V8Di6pt2HLrHNTo7GrW3IfuI7k2m-rhhnzp0GUst~-bO8vHpXQF8RQxUBcfLboNbrL9h1cdHSrBzIenazLDg6Hvpumtvh74a2ve~yljLd1W19p3r5XXfilvv3t~e-SyNBkvwpUodMlK58s5ZwYzwBXId1PzYF-yUNbd8G6rUyT5vjJg1c5qMGqseYYNBKb8brg0ul4AqeVRIrxjO~NmdHfMlfKqWhKUfwsKJxAV432PzGqqKZ6unEy7dVQq2savQCKoj~JF35uxKYRln3~C1Hnt68kbxnDCRZY7Cw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sylvania Board of Education on March 17 approved a slate of consent items, accepted a $10,000 donation to Northview High School from VFW of Ohio Charities (VFW Post 28 98) and adopted a revision to the district policy permitting release time for religious instruction during the school day.

Board members voted to approve minutes, the treasurer’s report for the month ending Feb. 28, the annual Lucas County rate resolution and a series of commercial property valuation resolutions listed on the agenda. The board also approved two field trips: an overnight camp trip for Stranahan students and travel for junior high students to the Science Olympiad state finals. Classified new hires, nonteaching pupil-activity contracts and athletic volunteer appointments on the consent agenda were approved as presented.

The board accepted a $10,000 donation from VFW of Ohio Charities (VFW Post 28 98) designated to fund a flagpole at Northview High School. Dr. Motley, superintendent, described the gift as “very, very generous.”

The board approved a policy revision on religious or release-time instruction at second reading, clearing the change for adoption. A package of policy revisions was presented for first reading (electronic equipment/devices and related items); board members discussed overlap between sections and asked staff to clarify definitions and which items the district supplies, but took no action on the first-read policies.

The board moved into executive session near the end of the meeting for the purpose of employment of public officials; the board announced it would not take action following that session.

Discussion vs. decisions

Board members raised questions about electronic equipment and device policies during the first read, noting apparent overlap between sections and that the district requires some student-purchased items (for example, calculators and Chromebook fees). Board members asked staff to clarify definitions of “electronic equipment” and “devices,” and to specify which items the district will provide. Those clarifications were requested but no policy action was taken at first reading.

Implementation and next steps

Staff will return clarified policy language on electronic equipment and devices at a future meeting. The board’s lobbying trip to the state capital later that week was reiterated by the superintendent as part of district advocacy on school funding tied to the governor’s proposed budget.","At its March 17 meeting the Sylvania Board of Education approved multiple consent items, accepted a $10,000 donation from VFW of Ohio Charities for Northview’s flagpole, approved two student field trips and adopted a policy revision allowing release time for religious instruction during the school day.","actionData","errors"]
