The Trojan Stars program, presented by a school staff member, recognizes one student per classroom for demonstrated positive behavior and social-emotional skills. \"Teachers at this time, please select your Trojan Stars student, send them down to the gym so we can recognize them for their outstanding behavior,\" the presenter said. Students received a small \"brag bag,\" had their names added to a wall of fame and were featured on school announcements.

The board then recognized 15 retiring employees from across the district, which the presenter said collectively represent 398 years of service to Troy City Schools. The presenter read biographical notes for each retiree, noting employment start years, roles (classroom teachers, bus drivers, food-service staff and administrative aides) and years of service for each person acknowledged.

District staff also briefed the board on recent hiring. Several new hires were introduced or named on the agenda: Carrie (last name given on the agenda) and Angus Crite were described as recent graduates joining the junior-high staff; Jacob Wheeler, a Troy High School graduate returning from other districts, will be an intervention specialist; and Courtney Wright will join as an intervention specialist (her husband, Brandon Wright, was noted as the district's new athletic director). The district said several one-year contracts and administrative renewals were included in the personnel exhibit.

Why it matters: PBIS recognitions reflect classroom behavior and social-emotional learning priorities; retiree acknowledgments document workforce transitions and years of service; and hiring updates indicate staffing choices for next school year.

Clarifying details included that 15 employees are retiring with a combined 398 years of service; several new hires are recent graduates or district alumni and are targeted to junior-high and intervention roles; and some hires are one-year contracts or internal position moves to be processed through standard seniority and hiring rules.

Board members offered public thanks and best wishes to retirees and welcomed new staff appointments.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Troy Board of Education Meeting May 5 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board heard a student PBIS presentation recognizing weekly Trojan Stars, honored 15 retirees representing 398 years of combined service, and reviewed recent and pending hires across the district including several new teachers and intervention specialists.","taxTitle","Troy School District, School Boards, Michigan","taxId",13577,"location","Michigan","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6562137,"Votes at a glance: Troy School Board approves consent items, personnel actions and programs",1612,1520000,3132000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3280424-e1048f6a5bff5edf5c4dcc9cc60039fc&start=1520&end=3132","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3280424-e1048f6a5bff5edf5c4dcc9cc60039fc/thumbnail_1520000.jpg","/articles/6562137/Michigan/Votes-at-a-glance-Troy-School-Board-approves-consent-items-personnel-actions-and-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6562137-4821d25e3d682f0fce17c95d8bc44cae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156040&Signature=OaDYReI8pSZgB90Ogl8Xttyc~ORA4xuFoGlK3rMqA~jUtk-Y3brYxMc-ygnVq2TGQopg087wLcFzHpFUxIV5gYXHo-9g3iBxwEeOK2jGNpH9zBFrgdKltNsh3F56O0i4HNcZIxAq~ho07tzSryH4VebqLNnYCnz6HOq59DgoKgOjj-BCj4k1U9BLLa1rX7BhWje4aofMdaaOtXXi0u8Zeq6Dy-4~CciQdcD0cj0rnq7gOMSHoPMIgZlzl8uemOSn0025lhLtL4XkcDm4ly8D88g8c2fTYa38~OX0FvTScAI6NBXOvxypZ4pgQrz2iztCHNZ~EyyroXu1oy92QMNRPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the meeting the Troy School District Board of Education approved a series of motions, most by voice or roll-call vote, covering minutes, financial reports, personnel items, programs and other routine business.

Key outcomes recorded in the meeting minutes included approval of the minutes from the regular meeting on April 14 and a special meeting on April 29; adoption of the financial report; acceptance of gifts totaling $1,492 for May and cumulative fiscal-year gifts of $183,188.81; approval of the five-year financial forecast; award of 350 diplomas; approval of the federal lunch program (free and reduced-price meals) and related fees; approval of a girls' volleyball trip to Miami University in Oxford; acceptance of personnel recommendations (Exhibit F); and approval of then-and-now purchases under Ohio Rev. Code §5705.41.

Several motions were moved and seconded on the record; roll-call votes for many items were recorded as unanimous among members present. For example, the motion to approve the five-year forecast passed by roll call with all present voting yes. The board also recorded routine approvals for the financial report and various consent items.

Why it matters: these approvals advance routine operations, staffing and extracurricular opportunities for the district and finalize budget items and purchases for the coming fiscal year.

The most detailed portion of the meeting was a presentation of the forecast, during which the financial presenter said the district used a conservative approach given uncertainty in pending state legislation. \"With the governor's proposal, his proposal with cost estimates received there, if that was to be approved as presented, we could potentially see upwards to $2,200,000 less over the next biennial budget,\" the presenter said. The presenter added the district had instead kept state-aid estimates \"pretty well flat\" while awaiting action in the Ohio legislature.

The forecast presentation explained the district is projecting continued growth in income-tax revenue and used the current year's higher collections as the starting point for the next five years, escalating that baseline at 1.5% annually. \"Income tax continued growth,\" the presenter said, adding the district this year was about $1 million ahead in income-tax collections compared with the prior year, an amount not previously projected.

Why it matters: the forecast informs decisions about operating levies, staffing and capital priorities. Board members noted the district will likely seek a renewal for an operating levy in a March primary (moved from May in a primary year), with contingency plans to run again in November if necessary.

Board discussion touched on expenditures assumptions (3%–5% increases in salaries and benefits in later years), possible changes to teacher-retirement contributions, and capital needs. The presenter said benefits increases in the forecast assume a maximum increase the board could realize in union agreements of 5%, and noted the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) has discussed raising employer contribution rates but offered no concrete proposal: \"They're just saying, look. Looking at phasing in an increase,\" the presenter said.

Board members also reviewed near-term capital work. The presenter described summer projects including high-school roof replacement work starting this summer, replacement of a main trunk line to the new front entrance, and additional roof-line work at administrative offices and the kitchen. \"We'll probably be divided over the next two summers, and then this structure will be completely reroofed,\" the presenter said.

Board members praised the conservative planning. \"Thank you for your prudence in setting us up that way, Mister Price,\" one board member said during roll call support for approving the forecast.

Clarifying details in the meeting included: the district is projecting income-tax growth starting from the current year's stronger collections and escalating at 1.5% annually; the governor's proposal to change state funding could reduce district revenue by an estimated $2.2 million under one scenario; benefits assumptions include a potential 5% increase tied to union agreements; and several roofing and capital projects are scheduled this summer and next.

Looking ahead, the board said it will continue to monitor state budget negotiations and hold a work session in early June for any updates before finalizing planning for next fiscal year actions.","School officials presented a conservative five-year financial forecast that assumes continued income-tax growth, flat state aid pending legislative action and possible future increases in retirement contribution rates; board members discussed timing for an operating levy renewal and capital roofing work for the summer.","actionData","errors"]
