The superintendent requested approval of five certificated teaching contracts, acceptance of resignations (including one listed as Lorth Warren Wellington under supplemental contracts), and the recommendation of 21 coaching positions for 2025–26. The board approved corrections to pay for five technology representatives (from $4,963.55 to $4,024.50 each) and multiple professional development stipend lists tied to Ohio Department of Higher Education reading grant programs and PBIS planning.

On support and unclassified personnel items the board approved retirements and personnel changes, including transfers such as moving an employee from bus driver trainee to bus driver, and employment recommendations for study hall and in-school suspension monitors. The board also approved hiring Benjamin Wagner as director of technology on a two-year contract, with a few transition days to be paid at the per diem rate during a handover with Beth (transition details provided in the personnel packet).

The treasurer said the district collected about 97.6% of projected revenue for the year and spent roughly 87% of the budgeted expenditures, leaving cash balances roughly $86,000 lower than projected on approximately $34 million in revenue and $36 million in expenditures. The treasurer reported the district is currently holding about 151 days of cash, down from about 176 days at the same point last year.

The treasurer told the board the district had limited purchasing after May cutoffs to wrap up invoices for the year and that investment yields had declined but longer-term investments were averaging about 4.5%.

On risk coverage, the treasurer said the district solicited multiple quotes and plans to switch its cyber insurance to a carrier called Quartus for a policy with a $10,000 deductible; the treasurer said the premium will be about $3,000 lower than a prior quote (CFC had sought to raise the district’s renewal to about $17,000 from $13,000 the prior year). The treasurer said pollution coverage will be renewed at about the same rate as the prior year.

The board voted to approve the treasurer’s report. (Roll call recorded in the transcript: \"Missus Thompson? Yes. Doctor Dona? Yes. Mister Tovis? Yes. Mister Myers? Yes. Mister Gere? Yes.\")","The district treasurer told the board that fiscal-year revenue collections and expenditures are close to projections, cash reserves have declined from last year, and the district will switch its cyber policy to Quartus with a $10,000 deductible and a premium about $3,000 lower than an earlier renewal quote.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6194272,"Bowling Green schools: new high school site progressing; 50 of 140 geothermal wells drilled",238,1172000,1410000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864600-e6facc7810a9ffe6b341ec849a62e2d5&start=1172&end=1410","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864600-e6facc7810a9ffe6b341ec849a62e2d5/thumbnail_1172000.jpg","/articles/6194272/Ohio/Bowling-Green-schools-new-high-school-site-progressing-50-of-140-geothermal-wells-drilled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194272-8503afcf9dc3869085e00afa1d7781dd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775760886&Signature=oclQ0ai6TSvFQmO8CF-mvoLFS~n9MjqAyW1B9IB4SR~issLzexWQwOS0NGKzb9~4PXKJfRbDz68rzyPy3T8ytZZc1NJtGflFPpRt9E~udUCbG3sDHpUu8HksdtKHgIn50LbeqQ~tQF4DjszZa~o9mIREGje42RJK6dUhZl7ZmDTt8O9CncvhxcSZV0mIlsm9ioXrUsVwJm0o~HcjOKD7OJrM6nI6P2O6mcnEsoLJWm7iWqgJOpm7eITIwye4Gw63ujg5Lrk9~pOO8eX4of3TLR9uFGyRhr--CR-A1dPss638BJd7vgXD-3ab4zd2qq8psS~mtjppXCuwviCgRySYTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Bowling Green City School District Board of Education meeting on June 17, 2025, a facilities presenter updated the board and public on construction of the district’s new high school.

The presenter said approximately 50 of the planned 140 vertical geothermal wells had been drilled to date; each well is about 300 feet deep. Two drilling rigs are currently on site, with a third expected by the end of the month. The presenter said the well field will provide heating and cooling for the new high school and that a stone area for temporary construction trailers has been installed and perimeter fencing will be erected soon.

The presenter said bids for the steel and concrete packages are expected back in the coming days and that the list of bidders is “fairly long.” The presenter said the district remains on budget “at this date.” The update also noted that some trees in the footprint of the new building and drives were removed during site work.

The presenter described recent and planned coordination with city safety leaders: the design team recently met with Chief Justin White and will hold a safety and security meeting with Chief Bill Morman later in the week; those meetings are intended to incorporate law enforcement and fire input into the building’s design. No city officials spoke at the board meeting.

There was no formal board action recorded on the construction update during the meeting; the item was presented as an informational progress report.","At the June 17 Bowling Green City School District board meeting, facilities staff reported progress on the new high school: about 50 of 140 geothermal wells have been drilled, bids for steel and concrete packages are due soon, perimeter fencing and construction trailers are being installed, and the project remains on budget at this date.","actionData","errors"]
