Callahan said the superintendent recommends an agreement with Auxilio Services Inc. to provide and manage people‑transportation for field trips at $78 per hour plus $0.90 per mile with a three‑hour minimum when vehicles are available. He also said the district recommends an agreement with Rightway Transportation for athletic and general student field trips at $85 per hour.

Callahan described a proposed lease with Norfolk Southern Railway Company for real property located at Mile Post B 189.7, described in the draft as a six‑year term. The draft lease dates in the presentation contain an apparent typographical error for the contract end date; Mr. Callahan did not read a corrected end date on the record and the board will consider the final lease language at the subsequent meeting.

Callahan said a proposed three‑year agreement with Connect would lock in core services fees at no increase for the contract term; core services listed include Munis Financial ERP subscription, internet services, data center infrastructure and cybersecurity, with additional services for Infinite Campus and IEP Anywhere Plus.

Finally, Callahan said the board is being asked to approve a facilities use agreement with Cuyahoga Community College for its Tri‑C Aspire program. The college would rent two classrooms (rooms 104 and 106), a reception area and designated office space at the Taft Center for Innovation for one year from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 billed quarterly at $7,500 per quarter for a total of $30,000.

These items were presented as proposals for the board’s consideration at a future meeting; no votes were taken on June 2.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","06-02-2025 Lakewood City Schools Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board was briefed June 2 on five proposed contracts to be considered at the next meeting, including two transportation contracts, an IT services agreement, a lease involving Norfolk Southern and a Cuyahoga Community College facilities rental.","taxTitle","Lakewood City, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",60760,"location","Ohio","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},6218174,"Board hears finance report: investment income up, appropriations and Lakewood Public Library budget on schedule",201,1479000,1680000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3629612-e7dc4790404e41778ec969763a008204&start=1479&end=1680","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3629612-e7dc4790404e41778ec969763a008204/thumbnail_1479000.jpg","/articles/6218174/Ohio/Board-hears-finance-report-investment-income-up-appropriations-and-Lakewood-Public-Library-budget-on-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218174-a0aeb778a25f0cc4227967d25d45650e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770991599&Signature=m2U2X3iIMlOSO27YTIXxvt8RFpHIF3Y~KLUwDVyZLQnAZoK84nBjcalvQZv3lyxsCICfRiD~zIH4fvgLGrfaa53iFFcXVqKnPtMv52BmFfNcrCR2l324Wix1IZm9rBgq8v241q~u-VGP5s0vXVUxaOUcEG9Snasx4Ozd2sLj2s2z40SapJjoBqkl10NglR~F~E2YSlJMi667NhUMkiUk9TKsar2XChllR2pfVrOwnkFCIlUF9G29Yxhr-2J4IPCJqv~-NmC-VBq9H0lfkB6XaKx~ZvdGCUvn7e3~MKQzdr~LLxo-yVY3-vGjK6DOS6ab3jSTiGS3ARk6416Zfl1yFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the June 2 meeting, board member Clark Sutton delivered the finance report, saying April investment earnings for regular board funds totaled $233,559 and year‑to‑date investment income reached $2,722,837.

Sutton said the district’s general fund receipts and expenditures for April were reported (receipts roughly $1.9 million and expenditures roughly $6.8 million as stated in the report) and that the district shows a positive revenue variance of $375,927 compared with the five‑year forecast, in part because interest income exceeded estimates. Year‑to‑date projected expenditures showed a positive variance of $57,185, with employee benefits contributing to that favorable result.

Cash reserves were described as sufficient through fiscal year 2026, and permanent appropriations were updated to reflect the current five‑year forecast, Sutton said. She told the board that appropriation modifications will keep the district in compliance with the county fiscal office and the state auditor’s office and that all accounts have sufficient funds to cover requested increases in appropriations.

Sutton noted the Lakewood Public Library’s fiscal year 2025 budget document was provided for review as part of the official budget hearing process required by statute. She said the library’s proposed budget must be adopted by the Board of Education no later than July 15 and forwarded to the County Budget Commission prior to July 20, as required by the Ohio Revised Code; she added the district anticipates voting on the library budget at the board’s June 16 meeting.

No formal vote was taken on these finance items at the June 2 meeting; Sutton presented the monthly financial summary and recommended appropriation adjustments to comply with statutory deadlines.","Board member Clark Sutton reported April investment earnings, year‑to‑date variances in revenues and expenditures, and that the Lakewood Public Library budget will be considered in the June 16 meeting to meet Ohio Revised Code deadlines in July.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6218179,"Lakewood board hears West Shore CareerTech plan for welding and MEMS programs",1046,359000,1405000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3629612-e7dc4790404e41778ec969763a008204&start=359&end=1405","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3629612-e7dc4790404e41778ec969763a008204/thumbnail_359000.jpg","/articles/6218179/Ohio/Lakewood-board-hears-West-Shore-CareerTech-plan-for-welding-and-MEMS-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218179-d16b2ba4afb59b4bff10afb1dd64bb7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770991599&Signature=P-qvt2g7451xrXy3SkpxqTcvtOYcb~NuQtjXD832wcCPspLWPTwl-xcj8FbaK98ak9cxKrjwKVMYWy5M-LmsIp9FEXwrc2uWfFRgUYw67EFPIt8DjrBDimz8CR5TG3~5EYVmUBtYDwsvTFSBBq7WtPk4Gfhhau2FpLPYu2-PDfN3dO4H7YHgWGy370g4bnhUJ1nlf3FKrmIpurYaccTdNdKIMfJmHsuW-UbJ~cRaeiGKudPvgvGCDAhzOd64l5JDKrHA0MlHqqP6a6dH3rPya0wcBlZMinHbr1nMEbRhhWT73crXOegL-6H6ryHrUJxW-aYQbnKN0tk3tV8TqmAyBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","West Shore Career Technical District officials on June 2 told the Lakewood City Board of Education they are adding a welding “Resilient Ranger” pathway and a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) program, describing industry partnerships, student credentials, and hands‑on equipment that officials said will prepare students for technical careers.

Dr. Badat, representing West Shore, said the district has earned a five‑star rating for the last three years and noted rising interest: applications rose from 232 last year to 268 this year. He also said 68 of 70 West Shore seniors passed their career pathways this year.

“We're not only preparing students for graduation, but we are preparing students for the future,” Dr. Badat said in opening remarks.

Welding instructor Joseph Cernich described classroom tools and an advisory committee of local and regional employers he said will guide the trade program. Cernich demonstrated a compact Vertex welding training machine and explained how it provides visual metrics and a virtual reality view so students can practice welding procedure specifications and joint designs before working at an actual booth. “This machine helps students who are intimidated with welding,” he said. Cernich named advisory members including Lincoln Electric, Carl’s Custom Welding, Aerotech and union representatives; he said about four or five advisory members are local residents.

Kyle White, the MEMS instructor, described the new program’s scope and partner network. He said MEMS — microelectromechanical systems used in sensors, medical devices and industrial equipment — will be taught through hands‑on projects, cleanroom procedures and industry certifications. “Students will graduate with valuable industry credentials, Microsoft Office and Teams certification, OSHA safety certifications and the J‑001 soldering certification,” White said. He said Lorain County Community College helped develop the curriculum and will provide access to cleanroom facilities and college credit opportunities. White also listed regional employer partners including Rockwell Automation, Swagelok, TELOS Communications and Repairbit, and named the Smart Photonics Foundation and a semiconductors workforce foundation as program allies.

Board members congratulated West Shore staff on the program growth. President Katzenberger thanked educators and said the programs represent further investment in career and technical education for Lakewood students.

Officials said the programs aim to connect students to credentials and employer pathways so graduates can enter high‑demand jobs or continue to postsecondary training. No formal board vote was taken on these presentations; the items were presented as the superintendent's report and informational updates.","West Shore Career Technical District presented two new programs — a welding ‘Resilient Ranger’ pathway and a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) program — highlighting enrollment gains, industry partnerships, credentials, and hands‑on equipment and training opportunities for Lakewood City students.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6218165,"Board approves certified and classified personnel actions on one‑reading votes",42,2523000,2565000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3629612-e7dc4790404e41778ec969763a008204&start=2523&end=2565","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3629612-e7dc4790404e41778ec969763a008204/thumbnail_2523000.jpg","/articles/6218165/Ohio/Board-approves-certified-and-classified-personnel-actions-on-onereading-votes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218165-427e4c75ff7e1a518dc3547be1b89d11/orig.mp4?Expires=1770991599&Signature=SbLX-I7wzbOP0xhmjV8FxIJwNBg~5m~~ePT5EzDZSrMkFLkB7IG8lyEG0F4yTN3GSvYCyDlUsh-khoWY6Hbx4idnLE98ZIIA2fhjQ2IyX6GxBCYVZ3qq4Y~GDDyCWadHBSW5zYuBmTrq1wfwou3dQJIG7IQtQXxZv8i1M-xu5h0RMuoD8e9iOJ9nmvqLqtTYlPLIxwWgWSXI3RwFdCC4zU5TjeaoIq6xDr5sFMxfOmSselfvOb~syrrwipIMeNiN0NLRay0Txy44ftYlChECn6syhE-Ksrsn82l084135TL4QhzSiphjuPa8mxXmWOO-RbOrSvcDtja8KGL0m-PTYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On June 2 the Lakewood City Board of Education approved two personnel resolutions presented on one reading: a certified action containing one resignation for the purpose of retirement and one administrator contract, and a classified actions resolution covering two classified personnel changes.
