Student Kayla Joyner told the board, “My coaches are good people. I didn't say they were perfect. I said they were good people. They have shown me and a lot of other girls growth, prosperity, and showed us discipline. They have not tortured us.”

Several parents and students read statements or spoke from the podium with similar themes. Parent Salisa Bruce read a letter from her daughter, Celia Rose Proust, who described the selection process for the team and asked the board for “the return of the Maple Heights High School cheer team coaches.” Student Mallory Bohanna called the coaches “mother figures” and said they “give everything they have to this team and this school district.” Other speakers said the coaches helped with grades, discipline and life skills.

Board members did not announce a public decision regarding the coaches during the open portion of the meeting. Later in the agenda the board voted to enter executive session; the board’s roll call recorded unanimous votes to move into executive session at about 7:16 p.m. The meeting record shows the public portion ended and the board proceeded into the closed session; no subsequent public action on the coaches was recorded in the posted transcript.

The board’s meeting agenda listed an executive-session item; the transcript records the motion to enter executive session and the roll-call votes but does not include details of matters discussed in closed session. The board did introduce several staff and administrators in the meeting’s later public portion, including new principals and coaches, separate from the public comments.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Maple Heights City Schools Board Meeting 06/23/2025","oneSentenceSummary","During public participation at the June 23 Maple Heights Board of Education meeting, multiple students and parents urged the board to return the varsity cheer coaches, praising their support and discipline.

The board approved an advancement of funds totaling $1,170,500 from the general fund to federal funds to cover timing differences that require the district to spend funds first and seek reimbursement. Interim treasurer explained that federal grants often require expenditures to be paid before reimbursement and that the advancement prevents negative balances at fiscal year-end.

The board also approved permanent transfers: $130,000 from the general fund to the district-managed activity fund; $151,964.72 from the general fund to the new school maintenance fund; and $32,694 from the general fund to the ESSER fund. The treasurer said the transfers address negative year-end balances in particular funds, including the athletic fund and an older negative balance identified as \"Ester.\"

The board adopted resolution 2564 to cancel uncashed checks by moving those reconciling items into the district custodial (022) fund; the treasurer noted the district will retain records and that unclaimed funds will eventually go to the State of Ohio if not claimed.

On budgetary compliance, the interim treasurer reminded the board that \"expenditures plus encumbrances cannot exceed appropriations,\" citing the statutory requirement, and recommended final appropriations for fiscal year 2025. The board adopted the final appropriations resolution and voted to submit the related documents to the county fiscal officer for the required certificate.

For fiscal year 2026, the board amended and adopted a temporary appropriation measure set at 80% of the fiscal year 2025 final appropriation amounts. Board members discussed whether 80% was a high percentage for a temporary measure; the interim treasurer said the figure provides sufficient legal authority to spend beginning July while permanent appropriations are finalized later in the year.

All the above motions were approved by roll-call votes in which Miss Moore, Miss Granger, Miss Cheeks and Vice President Shepherd voted yes.","At its June 23 meeting the Maple Heights Board of Education approved an advancement of $1,170,500 from the general fund to federal funds, approved several fund transfers including $130,000 to district-managed activities, adopted final appropriations for FY2025, and amended temporary appropriations for FY2026 to 80% of FY2025 final appropriations.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":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},6188361,"Maple Heights approves six-year math curriculum purchases for K–12, totaling $698,137.84",1415,125000,1540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5063062-4078d99bad78dd366c52c96dbafb9a4a&start=125&end=1540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5063062-4078d99bad78dd366c52c96dbafb9a4a/thumbnail_125000.jpg","/articles/6188361/Maple-Heights-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Maple-Heights-approves-six-year-math-curriculum-purchases-for-K12-totaling-69813784","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188361-99c89c78cc01cf7c9f48ca17f6c669a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775725977&Signature=hEj9o-RT~wZn0fvH3hEJOtNQkOmPprfYIvT3qFID7uLwh-v8bVS2df0D~5HLeZrKRGfaklYXAC-9IQiZRC-M0Md5gLIYRrpTU~X~40fBQ9R27SyffGo76-DOXbpp-5Q0KYFWz7C9KVJY4293nByW4zZm-eB0G9KhBYifWIPyv-saqP-1M5WRDlGDUz7wukuNFpMc-H1baBjWnmziKmfiTZjun0LXQVeUmkMkj9WU4t170oALbFn7bINlTtHgW4XgRLLXNCU1sOT8sJcx1KmQpHtuht4gqw3dN~V-1TemVPEUQyNGbNn4sweba6pe2Xc5GQpWnUMYp-ysSEvTrLYk~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Maple Heights Board of Education on June 23 approved adoption and purchase agreements for new math curricula: Amplify Desmos for kindergarten through grade 5 and McGraw Hill Reveal for grades 6 through 12, with combined six-year contract costs of $698,137.84.

The superintendent recommended the adoption at the board's regular meeting; the board approved Amplify Desmos for K–5 for $439,818.60 and McGraw Hill Reveal for grades 6–12 for $258,319.24 during roll-call votes in which all voting members recorded “yes.”

District officials said the purchases follow the district’s six-year adoption cycle and a review process led by a 20-member selection committee made up of teachers, administrators and an external consultant. Director of curriculum Dr. Shay Price said the committee piloted multiple vendors, used the State of Ohio rubric for high-quality instructional materials and consolidated school-level rubrics into the recommendation package.

“I would like to always just put out there, just like with CKLA, that I did not select this. The curriculum department did not select this. It was a team,” Dr. Shay Price said, describing the committee process.

Price told the board the K–5 recommendation, Amplify Desmos, is not yet listed on the state’s elementary approved list but that the district reviewed an external, in-depth findings report and pilot results before recommending adoption. For grades 6–12, district staff said Reveal met or exceeded expectations on usability and alignment to standards during the district’s review.

The contracts cover digital subscriptions, teacher materials, manipulative and sensor kits, and professional development. District staff emphasized that pilot classrooms and teacher training would precede full implementation.

The board approved the purchases by roll call: Miss Moore, Miss Granger, Miss Cheeks and Vice President Shepherd voted yes for each adoption. The contracts run from July 2025 through June 30, 2031.

District officials said implementation details, teacher training schedules and pilot placements are available in the adoption report and will be shared with schools during the summer implementation phase.","On June 23, 2025, the Maple Heights Board of Education approved six-year adoption and purchase contracts for Amplify Desmos for kindergarten–5 and McGraw Hill Reveal for grades 6–12, with combined contracted costs of $698,137.84 covering digital subscriptions, materials and professional development from July 2025 through June 2031.","actionData","errors"]
