The Fairborn City School District Board of Education convened on April 4, 2024, to discuss key financial reports and administrative matters. The meeting began with the presentation of a monthly financial report and a proposal for the sale of outdated musical instruments, which were deemed no longer valuable for use. The board unanimously approved both items after a brief discussion.

Following the financial updates, the board recognized Ruby Strode for her 32 years of service as a clinic assistant at Fairborn High School. A motion to pass a resolution in her honor was made and approved without any objections.

The meeting then transitioned to business-related discussions, including a significant change order regarding furniture costs for the high school project. The board noted a reduction in costs, which would allow for reallocation of funds towards the middle school project. This change order was also approved after a brief inquiry about its implications for future funding.

The board acknowledged several donations to the district, including contributions from local individuals and organizations, which totaled over $3,000. These donations were recognized as vital support for the district's educational initiatives.

As the meeting progressed, the board entered a work session to discuss the selection of architects for the upcoming middle school project. Four firms submitted qualifications, and the board planned to interview the top candidates on April 19, 2024. Two board members were designated to participate in the selection committee.

The meeting concluded with plans for an executive session to address personnel matters before adjourning. Overall, the board's discussions reflected a commitment to fiscal responsibility and community engagement in supporting educational programs.
