The Top Tiger program selects a student from each building monthly; students receive certificates and community-sponsored perks, and the district foundation supports related activities. Superintendent Dr. Selico explained the award in front of families and students: \"The Top Tiger is an award given by our Board of Education, who you just heard so much about, to students from each building each month,\" she said.

Diane Clements, a 23-year educator in Cuyahoga Falls, was recognized for two decades of service and leadership as an intervention specialist and mentor. In brief remarks she said, \"I've been an educator here in Cuyah Falls for 23 years... I'm very proud to be a Black Tiger and, proud to live in this community of Cuyah Falls.\" Colleagues cited her individualized instruction, mentorship and work on building and district leadership teams.

Why it matters: The recognitions are an annual part of board meetings that showcase classroom work, community partnerships and volunteer support. The Cuyahoga Falls Schools Foundation and local sponsors provide scholarships and event support, the foundation's vice president said; the group reported awarding more than $150,000 in scholarships annually over its history.

Next steps: The board said it will present a second round of appreciation items at the next meeting when students who were out for inclement weather are available to participate.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cuyahoga Falls City Schools BOE Meeting 1/22/2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the Jan. 22 meeting the board recognized students from each school with Top Tiger awards and presented a staff Shining Star award to Richardson intervention specialist Diane Clements for long service and student advocacy.","taxTitle","Cuyahoga Falls City, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",58172,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6050520,"Treasurer—riefs board on December finances; trustees ask to monitor athletic and food-service funds",3416,3587780,7004640,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3462325-a967581403606095fad05a4bac367905&start=3587&end=7004","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3462325-a967581403606095fad05a4bac367905/thumbnail_3587780.jpg","/articles/6050520/Cuyahoga-Falls-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Treasurerriefs-board-on-December-finances-trustees-ask-to-monitor-athletic-and-food-service-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6050520-dc110bba1d1e884da46880941488956a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205266&Signature=KoPaBIN~Bk0AlygX64ZKewkzVgmXueVpVbB3xeawFeIu8AUq5Uw9HO~Btj2ntA3-f1kD~KwTEr6r02PAa392om13bDr2ZYt0Rvs38K84okE6TFFr6pYi98pMNA0DWH~Vq1fbVu9ESDMxz8ojVTi4unKSV31rB4locf4b1PPkDnIJHLOqTyMH9LN-hT5KPxg796rcEpEGva46sFyT2Mb5zg4DIoKdP9fBcFLONmYLLLznR7aT3glFZ76Twp7X767kmOHA~yGeLaEQUzNorejJmKcGqR~Ghk0zR85ZSyDWCFq-EIj9PT9sSbmO8rsFYdn7Cjcuwq2j~Eaj55k6Ji653A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cuyahoga Falls Board of Education on Wednesday approved the treasurer/CFO's consent items, including the December investment schedule and monthly spending report, while trustees asked finance staff to monitor activity accounts that showed tight balances.

Treasurer Christy Stokoi told the board December is typically a low cash-flow month and noted a one-time insurance payment reduced available cash. \"In theory, that's about a million dollars higher,\" she said, adding that construction-related funds performed well despite a seasonal dip in general operating cash.

Trustees flagged the athletic activity fund, which appeared in the red for December but may have timing differences due to receipts posted in batches, and asked the treasurer to provide typical spring-season spending averages and confirm whether any transfers from the general fund would be likely.

Food service and revenue: The treasurer said food-service receipts increased with a late November/December remittance but cautioned that salary and benefit cost increases and higher food prices are pressuring the fund. Board members requested more detail from food-service leadership and finance staff about the impact of any proposed meal-price changes and the fund's cash position.

Other consent items: The consent agenda included federal grant appropriation adjustments, contract updates (including a three-year agreement with Cintas for services) and a set of donations from community partners. Trustees approved the superintendent's personnel and contract items as presented.

Vote: The board approved the treasurer's consent agenda and the December investment schedule by roll call vote; later votes on the superintendent's consent agenda and other consent items carried unanimously.","The treasurer/CFO presented the December investment schedule and monthly spending report, noting seasonal cash flow lows, construction fund activity and near-zero balances in some activity funds.

The board heard a series of clarifications about the one-year license during the meeting but voted to delay a final decision to the board's Feb. 12 meeting so staff can provide additional information about signage language, towing procedures and other safeguards.

Why it matters: The proposed arrangement would generate $12,000 in base payments in the first year ($1,000 monthly and $1,000 annually for maintenance) and a $4,000 contribution toward cameras, district officials said. Trustees expressed support for district revenue and improved cameras but said the public-association risks and details of enforcement need to be clearer.

What was proposed: Under the draft license, the brewery would use a portion of a newly built parking lot on campus in the evenings and weekends. The company agreed to insurance coverage of $2,500,000 per occurrence and a $5,000,000 aggregate. The district's carrier asked that the brewery maintain higher limits than the district carries.

Board concerns and staff responses: Board members asked whether vehicles left overnight could be towed, who would perform towing and whether posted signs could appear to endorse alcohol near school property. Superintendent Dr. Selico and legal/operations staff said the district controls signage approval and described a standard police-initiated towing procedure for abandoned vehicles; they also said the district would perform regular plowing and would negotiate language to limit perceived association with alcohol-serving uses.

Board action: Trustee Anthony Gomez made a motion to postpone consideration until the Feb. 12 meeting to allow staff to gather the outstanding details; the motion was seconded by Trustee Schaefer and passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

Next steps: Board members asked staff to coordinate with the brewery on specific sign language, confirm the towing protocol with the police department and provide written guarantees about insurance placement and any operational restrictions before the February vote.","Trustees postponed a vote on a one-year license to allow Missing Mountain Brewing Company to use a school parking lot, citing unanswered questions about insurance limits, signage and vehicles left overnight.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6050522,"Cuyahoga Falls school leaders outline four-year strategic plan focused on ‘‘culture of caring,’’ facilities and instruction",4584,2172650,6757560,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3462325-a967581403606095fad05a4bac367905&start=2172&end=6757","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3462325-a967581403606095fad05a4bac367905/thumbnail_2172650.jpg","/articles/6050522/Cuyahoga-Falls-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Cuyahoga-Falls-school-leaders-outline-four-year-strategic-plan-focused-on-culture-of-caring-facilities-and-instruction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6050522-7e6ff6da0e62a877a339f6fa3c75137a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205266&Signature=no1NUFsxz8YO~MLHKj3MnOZIVRNWCVgI5Gr08A8Jr15k1ahV6aXniZC0CiEln2jr8e~-ECd2DODuiX31KvuC~Pmt-VzRDjbQjIjAgjjece7uq7mqed0b0I1TiNoiBc4q3jFps5z8Emw4JrYahj4IfmgwuTEcHKo7kFH4kYyrPAU4QNx~gcg1ikN0LvJhNIEBW4q~7ydi3CK-DjtNezvVzGtc-uf62MK7PIjeruz~8yHVNpj84uZgO~XicCw69Q~-2JcrFsA5LHhzTsidcvW-2YsbjUt3t83VjnZn8tIG9Y~pmW~FF1D6Da1xhEPndHU2HjGy~KPVAdxKTtkDg-ysmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cuyahoga Falls City Schools administrators on Wednesday outlined a draft strategic plan that they said will guide district work through about 2028, centering goals on a \"culture of caring,\" financial stewardship and student achievement.

The plan, developed by cabinet members with input from the Summit County Educational Service Center, sets three headline goals administrators abbreviated as C-F-S: create a culture of caring, facilitate the financial future and steer student achievement, district leaders said.

At a presentation to the Cuyahoga Falls Board of Education, Superintendent Dr. Selico said the plan is intended to be a fluid, multiyear framework: \"At the heart of our mission is the commitment to create an environment that fosters growth, opportunity, and success for all,\" she said. The district engaged a consultant from the Summit County ESC and stakeholders during the fall, she added, and administrators translated that feedback into goals, measurable objectives and action steps for board consideration.

Why it matters: Board members said the plan will shape budgeting, staffing and facilities decisions around the new 6-12 campus and other capital priorities. Several members asked for a dedicated work session to dig into measurable targets and timelines before adopting the document.

What administrators presented: Under \"culture of caring,\" officials said they will sustain the Black Tiger Family Center, expand support for student physical and mental health, improve attendance and enhance threat-assessment and emergency reunification procedures. Mr. Elder, the lead presenter for that goal area, invoked Maslow's hierarchy of needs in explaining the approach, saying basic physiological and safety needs must be met before students can engage academically.

On facilities and finance, the treasurer's team proposed a five-year capital-improvement plan, a public-facing annual facilities report and a capital-planning committee to set priorities and recommend dedicated revenue options. \"A big action step here is creating that five-year capital improvement plan,\" Treasurer Christy Stokoi told the board.

Instruction and student achievement priorities include expanding universal screening and progress-monitoring within an RTI/MTSS framework, deepening teacher clarity and assessment practice, continuing state-aligned literacy work, and strengthening programs that prepare students for employment, enlistment or postsecondary education.

Board response: Board members praised the breadth of the draft but asked for greater specificity on measurable targets, how district-level strategies tie to classroom differentiation and how personalized instruction will be implemented alongside MTSS. Several members urged a separate work session to review objectives and performance measures before a formal board adoption vote.

Next steps: Administrators said the plan will remain a working document; they will return with revisions and recommended metrics. Several board members asked staff to schedule a focused work session so trustees can provide more detailed direction and approve final measures.","District administrators presented a draft four-year strategic plan that centers on student wellbeing, facilities planning and instructional improvement and invited board feedback and a follow-up work session.","actionData","errors"]
