The board approved the agenda and minutes and carried routine motions by unanimous votes before taking up substantive items. The superintendent and treasurer recommended the board approve a master electric energy sales agreement with Power for Schools, which endorses Engie as the supplier; the board voted 5–0 to adopt the resolution.

The board then approved a series of resolutions authorizing the filing of original complaints under Ohio Revised Code section 5715.19 challenging the auditor’s valuation for multiple parcels. The resolutions were read as a single generic resolution and then voted on parcel by parcel; each parcel motion passed 5–0. The parcels named on the record included 281520, 2806844, 2816596, 2813137, a set of four parcels listed as 2810066 and related numbers, 2816520 and 2816801, and 2815908 and 2815659.

The board approved a change order for the Green Primary renovation project — Bulletin 1 — to replace exterior windows, add new window shades and exterior signage at a cost of $654,563.77. The motion to approve the change order carried 5–0 after board members and the contractor described the work as an alternate the district was now able to fund from the project budget.

Separately, the board approved “Amendment 2 for Sol Harris Day” in the amount of $467,178 to be paid from the district building fund (fund 004); the board voted 5–0 on that motion as recorded on the meeting transcript.

Other actions on the record included approval of the financial statement and payment of bills for February; acceptance of a donation of $857.46 from Mr. and Mrs. Josh O’Farrell to the varsity boys tennis team; and approval of the consent calendar. Every listed motion carried on a 5–0 voice or roll-call vote as shown in the meeting record.

Board members and staff presented students of the month for Greenwood, Green Primary School (GPS), Green Intermediate School (GIS), Green Middle School (GMS) and Greene High School (GHS), recognized staff through the Green Schools Foundation spotlight program, and noted several staff retirements and student athletic and academic honors.

Students of the month named on the record included Nicolette Motice (Greenwood, kindergarten), Elena Wallace (Green Primary School, first grade), Violet Roberts (Green Intermediate School), Mitchell Dreher (Green Middle School), and two Greene High School seniors, Aubrey (granddaughter of Deborah Richardson, heading to Kent State University to study Spanish education) and Drew (student leader and Kent State-bound computer science aspirant). Presenters gave short descriptions of each student’s activities, interests and the reasons they were chosen.

The board recognized staff members Brock Bronson (Green High School), Melissa Crossman (Green Intermediate School, fourth grade language arts) and Gregory Hoffmeister (drama/theater; noted as a newer staff member) as part of the Green Schools Foundation’s Spotlight on Staff program. The district also announced retirements: Mary Lynn Rockwood (35 years of service), Dave Meadows (22 years) and Linda Magoo (recorded as completing her 28th year on the record). The board offered public thanks to each retiree.

Board members and staff also highlighted athletic and academic achievements: Greene High girls basketball player Jenna Slates was named Federal League player of the year and coach Alicia Manning was named Federal League coach of the year; Green Middle School’s academic challenge team finished 7–1 for the season; Green High School cadets earned national drill team honors, with Billy White and Jeffrey Lou winning national titles in individual categories; Green Primary students raised more than $21,000 for the American Heart Association; and other district students qualified for state-level competitions in swimming and academic tournaments.

The board used the recognitions time to remind families about upcoming events (an alumni celebration in April and school tours in March) and kindergarten registration details for students who will be 5 by Aug. 1.","The board recognized students of the month at Greenwood, Green Primary, Green Intermediate, Green Middle and Greene High School, spotlighted staff nominated by the Green Schools Foundation, and acknowledged retiring employees and athletic/academic accomplishments.",{"_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},6122040,"Board approves Green Primary window replacement; district says projects on budget and sites will be staged to limit disruption",339,1615000,1954000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2696142-3c79247bd38ecc25e31f0f07257000d3&start=1615&end=1954","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2696142-3c79247bd38ecc25e31f0f07257000d3/thumbnail_1615000.jpg","/articles/6122040/Ohio/Board-approves-Green-Primary-window-replacement-district-says-projects-on-budget-and-sites-will-be-staged-to-limit-disruption","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6122040-1699793bf1096adfd2da1fa29613bdcb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771027350&Signature=IMMxtqrT2myba4vnCH6klpeEfksjwoPIZR5~LyBiEECvNyzDVWIs~7JgRvzJaabDTnfTyiWhUV90DVO-WPaarW6GBF5cab9pb6ql3oxSQQZ40NFApdnQr1dokbn22mN7aJPyvYxb22ZIANqykkM43j9FvUs-zm8LFlfg7~X2XM1XrXnXjZ-~kUtR-XD3BG2vX~-C-9OcUBXkn~Owof4ai-aAFZdDTVLJQconQLtAJ9l2z-fdtXeoNGymSxreUoyjh4LK~SV7LwA3nqd~nhIjmFfeTtIowhvjF7LVr9O8g0MUdCvsipj6CoBi6G629xa5NFMlT-E4fdonvhZfGeGs-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Green Local Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a change order for the Green Primary renovation at its March meeting, allocating $654,563.77 to replace exterior windows, install new interior shades and add exterior signage.

District staff and the construction representative said the items were previously bid as alternates and were added back into the project now that the budget allows. Derek, the contractor representative on the record, told the board the project will use new laminated-glass window units — the glazing is manufactured with laminated safety features rather than applying a film to existing windows — and that the upgrade will bring the older building up to current energy-code and safety standards consistent with the district’s other new buildings.

Board members and administration said the district remains on budget for the broader construction program. The administration reported that site work is restarting as weather improves and that renovation of the new preschool wing (Area D) will begin next week. The record also shows the board approved another building-related item recorded as “Amendment 2 for Sol Harris Day” for $467,178 out of the building fund (004); the motion carried 5–0.

District leadership said the GPS renovation will begin next week (coinciding with spring break) and will extend through the end of the school year and into the summer. Board and administration representatives said they are coordinating with Hammond Construction and Sol Harris (both named on the record as project partners) to minimize disruption during the school day, including segregating active work zones from student-occupied areas and requiring background checks for workers who will be on site.

The board recorded that ribbon-cutting events for the new elementary and middle-school buildings are planned: an August 21 ribbon cutting for the elementary and an August 22 event for the middle school, both tied to the start of the 2025–26 school year. Administration said exact times and community-notification details will be provided as the projects progress.

Board members who spoke praised construction progress and emphasized minimizing student disruption and ensuring safety while crews are on site.","Board approved a $654,563.77 change order to replace exterior windows, add shades and signage at Green Primary, and administrators said other building work and alternates are proceeding on schedule and on budget; GPS renovation work will start next week.","actionData","errors"]
