The board accepted resignations including Jamie Carter (girls varsity basketball coach) and Josh Arthur (boys basketball coach). Terry Tansel was recognized as leaving after 12 years to become a principal at another district. The superintendent recommended promoting Devin to the district role of lead technology specialist supervisor and recommended Kevin Pfefferly to serve as assistant superintendent; both personnel actions were included in the board's motion and approved.

The board also approved continuing, limited and supplemental teaching contracts, administrative contracts and classified contracts per the district's standard procedures. The superintendent noted the contract progression rules for certified and classified staff and said supplemental contracts are renewed annually.

Separately, the superintendent reported that both union contracts (AWEA and OPC) were negotiated using a hybrid interest-based approach and that both unions had approved the contracts; the board voted in favor of the A-through-J block of agenda items, which included those collective-bargaining agreements.

Board members moved and seconded the motions and carried the approvals by roll call. The superintendent reminded the public the district expected to graduate approximately 319 seniors at BGSU on May 31 at 10 a.m.

\"PBIS is just that, is making sure that the emotional safety is just as important as the physical safety,\" one district presenter told the board while introducing the program and its tiered supports.

Presenters from Monclova, Waterville Primary, White House Primary, Fawn Timbers Middle School and the high school described coordinated practices:

- Monclova Dean Jill Bigelow said staff spend substantial time \"pre-teaching\" expectations and that the school has reduced office referrals by about half since starting PBIS in 2014-15. \"Every student at Monclova knows that they have to be respectful, be responsible, be safe in all areas of our school building,\" Bigelow said.

- Waterville Primary counselor Jillian Cowell described daily routines such as \"morning meeting,\" \"quiet time\" and interactive modeling that teachers use to teach and re-teach expectations. She said responsive-classroom practices and classroom-based supports are the district's most effective preventive measures.

- White House Primary Dean Michelle Daymayer highlighted use of ClassDojo for positive communication and regular tier 2/tier 3 behavior meetings to monitor students on plans.

- Fawn Timbers principal Matt Smith described a house system and an expanding \"General Way\" ticket program; the district tracks positive-ticket distribution and uses ticket redemptions and quarterly rewards to reinforce behavior. Smith said tickets passed out across the district rose substantially over recent years (the district reported roughly 6,700 tickets distributed in an earlier year and rising thereafter).

- High school counselor Lauren Morawski said the high school pairs PBIS with restorative practices and tiered team meetings (MTSS and at-risk teams) to support students who need more intensive intervention.

Why it matters: PBIS is an evidence-based, multi-tiered framework that many Ohio districts use to set common expectations, teach behaviors proactively and reduce disciplinary referrals. Presenters told the board PBIS aligns with the district's portrait of graduate competencies and provides both small-group interventions and schoolwide recognition programs.

Board members thanked presenters and said they would continue to support staff efforts to refine and expand the program.","A districtwide presentation described Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) at Anthony Wayne Local, showing building-level practices from preschool through high school, examples of classroom and campus expectations and data that school leaders say show fewer office referrals and rising numbers of positive-behavior tickets.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6062858,"Treasurer: tax settlement adds about $1.9M but district remains tight; board approves bus, track and roof bids",449,2226000,2675000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3275407-25b9b471ac4e99c01810d0ca56c796a3&start=2226&end=2675","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3275407-25b9b471ac4e99c01810d0ca56c796a3/thumbnail_2226000.jpg","/articles/6062858/Ohio/Treasurer-tax-settlement-adds-about-19M-but-district-remains-tight-board-approves-bus-track-and-roof-bids","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062858-26b8faea65192c848fe620cf4aa1ddcd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770926961&Signature=kMuVXVJI6Wc5wL52fXaInxD0RQ5dbOYWGqxUhtxMmtC0Wl~~e~rtsBYadkQF~eOIIDH~D9UGA8bs0omWImQgiLr4kxMDDgiekphZ1tlBAwdUsrx75OATXvRrxDUDyX5vf0hOdWOuEG9-R3uXR6qbX1Jbq~No3LEvDRRW72ccUGnfcY3EHo~w64dcEqxJA9Om9cJ1V7kTnhskA66QTGq3uVJQiTIq1u0lWqU9ifhUdJUxyaPjwhSQWymkLjIQgWVpQeb3yImVseOblOz91NCrh5VrGwlQicCuBKVP9~TXnUi-cDUFkLiITPeuV~51KIUiQNPbUV1ySDGFeJkyKkDgxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Anthony Wayne Local School Board meeting, Treasurer Carrie presented the April financials and the district's five-year forecast, and the board approved the treasurer's recommendations — including bids for buses, a track replacement and a roof project.

\"We did see an increase of roughly $1,900,000,\" Carrie told the board, noting that the tax settlement reflected half a calendar-year payment because taxes are collected on a calendar-year basis while the district operates on a fiscal year. She said she included a projected $3,400,000 in the five-year forecast to reflect expectations of being brought back up to the 20-mill floor, and that the district's highest cash balance over the forecast is about $3,700,000.

Carrie warned that the district is one of 16 statewide that fall below a 10 percent cash balance on June 30, and said the forecast assumes no additional state foundation changes beyond what was known at the time of the presentation. She also said the district's insurance renewal came in at a 15 percent increase and that union contract increases and other line items had been built into projections.

On formal actions, the board approved the treasurer's recommendations by roll call. The approvals included:

- Awarding a bus purchase to Cardinal Bus Sales for $403,790 (trading in five buses; buying three new buses).
- Awarding a track replacement contract to Henry W. Bergman for $826,812.03, the low bidder from the April 30 bid opening.
- Awarding the Monclova roof replacement to Bill Jackson Roofing for $847,088.08, the low bidder from the May 1 bid opening.

Carrie described those projects as permanent-improvement-funded and said the funds come from an established PI (permanent improvement) levy. She also presented a resolution to pursue a potential bond refunding for the district's 02/2017 A and B series, noting the bonds become callable on Dec. 1 and that refinancing would be pursued \"only if it makes sense\" based on interest rates.

The treasurer said the board would consider a second part of the refunding resolution in June if market conditions warranted. She also described a school donation agreement with LCR (identified as Kaufman Engineering Systems) related to a Waterville/Monclova project and a proposed urgent-necessity resolution to award a Waterville Primary HVAC renovation and energy-savings contract to Trane because equipment lead times require early purchasing.

Board members asked for timing and scope details: a staff member estimated the Monclova roof work would cover all but one section of the building and put the roof at roughly 60,000 square feet. Operations questions about project timelines were answered by facilities staff who said contractors committed to the timeline to avoid interrupting the school year.

The treasurer moved to approve her recommendations; the motion passed on a roll-call vote (Baden, Hapkemeyer, McKnight, Miller and Stamm all voted yes).","The Anthony Wayne Local School Board approved the treasurer's financial recommendations, including contracts for three buses, a track replacement and a Monclova roof replacement.

Josh Williams, majority whip in the Ohio House, told the Anthony Wayne Local School Board on May 20 that under an uncapped version of the state's \"fair school funding formula,\" the district would have lost about $1,300,000 in the first year and about $1,400,000 in the second.

\"If we would have got rid of the caps and guarantees, Anthony Wayne would have lost $1,300,000 in the first year and $1,400,000 in the second year,\" Williams said. He added that some districts could have lost as much as 72 percent under an uncapped approach.

Williams said leadership in the General Assembly agreed that \"not 1 school will lose a single dollar in this budget cycle,\" and that baseline guarantees were the starting point for adjustments. He said the Senate's version of the budget still had work to do and that he hoped it would increase funding for some districts.

Williams described his work on school funding in the legislature and recalled reviewing legislative service documents and the formula in detail. He also recounted his personal background in education policy, including starting and serving as board president for a charter school in Toledo before winning his statehouse seat.

Why it matters: school funding formulas determine how state education dollars are distributed among districts and can create large winners and losers when statewide caps or guarantees are removed. Williams told the board he reviewed a spreadsheet showing district-by-district impacts under an uncapped formula and used that to press for protections for districts such as Anthony Wayne.

Board members thanked Williams for attending and for the district-specific attention he said he had given the Anthony Wayne schools. Williams told board members he remains available to the district and provided his personal contact information for follow-up.

What the board heard next: Williams said he had discussed the district's funding situation with a district official (\"Ms. Johnson\") and again acknowledged disparities he saw between Anthony Wayne and larger nearby districts. He asked the board to reach out if it needed further assistance as the budget process moved through the Senate.

No formal board action on state funding occurred during the meeting; Williams' remarks were presented as information to the board and community.

","State Rep. Josh Williams told the Anthony Wayne Local School Board that under the state'proposed \"fair school funding\" formula without caps and guarantees, Anthony Wayne would have lost roughly $1.3 million in year one; leadership instead preserved baseline funding and the district should see a modest increase.","actionData","errors"]
