Rhonda Crawford, board president, read a proclamation recognizing Damon Hoody, a Twinsburg High School senior who also attends the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center, for earning first place in the Business Professionals of America national competition in network administration using Cisco. The proclamation notes he competed against 44 state finalists at the national conference in Orlando, Florida.

Hoody accepted the recognition and thanked family and educators. “CVCC has been instrumental in allowing me to get to nationals,” he said, adding that discipline and late-night study helped him prepare. “I just like to thank everybody, especially my parents for being there for me when I needed the most.”

Later in the meeting, Michael Sedlak, the district’s director of human resources, announced Jean D. Maclady as the 2025 Twinsburg City School District Support Staff of the Year and Abigail Todd as the 2025 Teacher of the Year. Sedlak described Maclady’s work coordinating media-center programs, student-centered clubs and district communications and described Todd’s work with students with moderate needs, including writing and co-securing a grant from the Gar Foundation to launch an authentic learning café that gives students hands-on experience with orders, sales and operations.

The board recessed briefly after the awards and then continued with its business.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Twinsburg Board of Education Meeting - May 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board presented a proclamation to Twinsburg High senior Damon Hoody for winning the Business Professionals of America national championship in network administration and announced Abigail Todd as the district teacher of the year and Jean D.

The board accepted certified, classified and supplemental personnel recommendations as listed in the meeting exhibits and voted to renew contracts for the district’s administrative team. The roll-call votes recorded unanimous approval (5-0) on both the personnel recommendations and the administrative renewals; motions were moved and seconded under consent agenda procedures.

Superintendent Catherine Powers introduced members of the administrative team whose renewals were recommended and asked the board to approve their contracts. Administrators introduced included Reggie Holland (principal, George G. Dodge Intermediate School), Michelle Louden (assistant principal, Twinsburg High School), Alex Popovich (curriculum supervisor), Michael Sedlak (director of human resources), Marcia Spuss (special education supervisor), Tracy Abbott (transportation assistant), John Summers (maintenance supervisor) and others identified at the meeting.

The board also approved a memorandum of understanding with the Twinsburg Education Association regarding the employment of Julianne Walker as the district MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) coordinator for the 2025–26 school year.

During the meeting the board honored the district’s retiring employees. The superintendent read a list of retirees and noted the class of 2025 retirees “combined 844 and a half years of service,” thanking them for their long service. The board held a photo opportunity and presented small gifts to the retirees.

Minutes for prior meetings were approved and other routine consent items (facility-use agreements, donations, and an overnight trip for the academic challenge team) were included on the consent agenda and approved by the board vote.

The board recessed for a short break and later entered executive session to consider the employment, discipline and compensation of public employees under board policy.","The Twinsburg board approved personnel recommendations including continuing-contract recommendations, renewed several administrators' contracts, approved a memorandum of understanding for an MTSS coordinator, and honored a large class of retirees who together reported more than 844 years of service.",{"_32":87,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":88,"_40":89,"_42":90,"_44":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6230804,"Twinsburg board adopts resolution opposing key provisions of Ohio House Bill 96",354,5914000,6268000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3441959-eec1c959df77aa31a39cd3fe81054233&start=5914&end=6268","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3441959-eec1c959df77aa31a39cd3fe81054233/thumbnail_5914000.jpg","/articles/6230804/Twinsburg-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Twinsburg-board-adopts-resolution-opposing-key-provisions-of-Ohio-House-Bill-96","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6230804-ef5636413e651b13a68e5beba82cd2fe/orig.mp4?Expires=1770212034&Signature=godUULMoM5El8YcHoGbyEtUHCa43RZBAUrNLOOVP5OOC-CP1b-k~VhckoCjtkow1DuG3n18joBszkZZM1QqoGlw5Li6Kuj13tLOXp1IwCWTU6XOGLltCqFuIaeQV3K5eqoLMMGnspEAwZ5zXMtLF~n36rVkBDHrZZpDJ63SoanK14FBtIEHGyCOilk~aGHysxhVsO~uhI0PEVDRFy965zkv8GUvdR~NwgX00~uu6BIxTZI~FxJdljrg2wyJE5TmoCWopN3TWUcJNdZJVJZfgCp1PM3Ky5NdMnRycoQfPoR-wMh8jOLXM4UUEOVvdEuFdz5nNWXt6hWS8fYmKYegSQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Twinsburg City School District Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution opposing certain provisions of Ohio House Bill 96 at its regular meeting, saying the bill would undercut the Fair School Funding Plan and local financial control.

The board’s resolution instructs the treasurer to send copies of the resolution to state leaders and urges the Ohio Senate and governor to fully fund and phase in the Fair School Funding Plan using updated cost inputs. The resolution passed on a 5-0 vote after a motion by Ms. Davis, seconded by Ms. Travis.

The resolution cites Article VI, Section 2 of the Ohio Constitution and Ohio Supreme Court rulings as the basis for the state’s obligation to provide a “thorough and efficient” system of public schools. It says the version of HB 96 under consideration would “replace the formula with a flat funding guarantee,” introduce a statewide cap on district carryover balances, and expand voucher and other programs in ways the board says risk destabilizing district budgets and shifting costs to local taxpayers.

Rhonda Crawford, president of the Twinsburg Board of Education, urged residents to contact state lawmakers. “I respectfully request everyone. Please reach out to our state legislator and provide opinions about 96,” Crawford said during the meeting as the board discussed the resolution and earlier advocacy steps the district had taken.

Board member Ms. Egan also encouraged public attention. “I urge our residents to just pay attention to what’s going on at the state level with funding,” she said during debate, asking listeners to contact legislators and stay informed.

The motion to adopt the resolution was moved by Ms. Davis and seconded by Ms. Travis. The roll call vote recorded Ms. Hamilton, Ms. Egan, Ms. Travis, Ms. Davis and Ms. Crawford voting yes; the resolution passed 5-0.

The resolution directs the treasurer to distribute copies to Sen. Christina Roegner, the president of the Ohio Senate, the governor, members of the Ohio General Assembly and other stakeholders.","The Twinsburg City School District Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution urging the Ohio Senate and governor to fully fund the Fair School Funding Plan and to reject provisions of House Bill 96 that would cap carryover balances and alter the funding formula.","actionData","errors"]
