Superintendent Mister Howard told the board that expected kindergarten–fifth-grade enrollment of 60 has grown to more than 100 students in the summer program, and high school summer programming expected 125 students has 127 enrolled. The district’s Graduation Alliance Summer Credit Recovery Program has seven active students and five pending, and the superintendent said 51 high-school summer participants “have made up all of the necessary credit recovery courses and are back on track for graduation,” with an additional 50 students having recovered at least a half credit so far.

Administrators credited the focus on ninth- and tenth-grade interventions and targeted work with seniors who were close to meeting graduation requirements. The district highlighted its partnership with Champions for elementary summer programming at Westbrook; Champions provides staffing and programming and the district noted interactive activities, field trips and instructional work intended to reduce “summer slide.”

Board members praised staff for enrollment and early results. The high-school principal, Mister McCray, was specifically thanked for targeting students behind on credits; administrators said the emphasis was on getting ninth- and tenth-graders and seniors back on pace.

District staff also shared a summer calendar of events including Professional Learning Communities training for district administrators (July 28–29 in Indianapolis), new staff orientation (July 30–31), a back-to-school bash (scheduled 11 a.m.–2 p.m. at the high school), convocation (Aug. 5) and the first day of classes on Aug. 11. Administrators said community resource tables, guidance counselors and other supports would be available at the back-to-school event.

The board asked for follow-up numbers on preschool open-house registrations and the superintendent said staff would provide updated registration figures and additional program metrics at a future meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Trotwood-Madison City School Board Meeting 6/26/2025.","oneSentenceSummary","District officials reported strong summer enrollment across elementary, middle and high school programs and said 51 high-school students have completed necessary credit recovery and are back on track for graduation, with another ~50 partially recovered.","taxTitle","Trotwood-Madison City, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",49813,"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},6657148,"Trotwood-Madison board approves year-end transfers, amended appropriations and multiple personnel items",1115,343000,1458000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5088921-19a3d5886163740cd8e9eed3498a1e19&start=343&end=1458","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5088921-19a3d5886163740cd8e9eed3498a1e19/thumbnail_343000.jpg","/articles/6657148/Ohio/Trotwood-Madison-board-approves-year-end-transfers-amended-appropriations-and-multiple-personnel-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657148-efc873c06891f809c85a802e0512e9c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771110646&Signature=JsI~YBGeq9Wo4c9B9r7LqaJSg01XD-pmWqadbdyBWjBrMmQ4IbeHpFH14p2-kjfCR6O1iORM4KHiW2wOWcXhaU-9QZogFgggi~a8fBOp-g6dtUVX0Vm7C9Eu4mHgXTSwyS5VTtWwIgc02gNo8SmWfuIdEL1lxYAcgKfO5f~SjcjE8sSc6sRQXZIOdXjcBQYWgWzVYst-PR2Z1McTMeJQaX6eR4iRs9P96uMuSPX-rzMvjULPcmlj9zvlqnpUOn5UQ2ZAayPqZ145EET91vh1VaLBDxbkhvyeQpIbPjk-06h8KeUQJnK4jRvOWjXADkgOcdF-pcmmEYi~QxjjZ9WKXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Trotwood-Madison City Schools Board of Education voted unanimously on June 25, 2025, to approve year-end financial moves including temporary advances and permanent transfers, adopt amended appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and adopt a starting permanent appropriation resolution for fiscal year 2026. The board also approved personnel actions, including a public-notice resolution to reemploy an instructional coach who had retired.

The board’s treasurer reviewed the district’s May financial reports and a set of recommended advances and transfers. The treasurer told the board the district’s bank statement balance was $7,710,615.24 and investment balances totaled $19,653,472.72, with vendor checks and adjustments of $99,736.34, yielding an adjusted district balance of $27,264,351.62. The treasurer reported the district ran a $1.7 million deficit for May and a year-to-date deficit of about $3.3 million, saying the district “is spending more than what we received.”

To close out FY2025, the treasurer asked the board to approve temporary advances to grant and special funds so those accounts would show nonnegative balances when the finance system reopens in July, and a series of transfers to cover overspent grants and negative fund balances. The advances listed included preschool, special education and Title programs totaling approximately $562,001.89. Transfers included a recurring $300,000 transfer to the permanent improvement (local bond repayment) fund and a $300,000 transfer to the food service fund to offset a negative year-end balance in food service.

The treasurer told the board the food service fund ended the year at a negative $280,018.23; transferring $300,000 would leave an opening-year balance of about $19,009.81. The agenda also included transfers to cover overspent Ohio Arts Council grants and to reduce negative balances in the athletic fund. The board approved a plan to set aside funds for capital needs (roofs, buses, asphalt) and the treasurer said a supervisor estimated about $600,000 would be needed for Westbrook Village roofing work; the board approved transferring money to Fund 70 to begin to meet those needs.

The board approved an amended appropriations resolution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, for $59,626,446.78 covering general and federal funds. The board also approved a permanent-appropriations resolution setting a preliminary FY2026 total at roughly $52,000,000; the treasurer said that figure is a conservative starting estimate and amended appropriations will come back to the board as actual grant awards and revenues are finalized.

On personnel matters, the board approved a public-notice resolution to reemploy Lisa Wilton as an instructional coach at the Early Learning Center after her recent retirement; trustees said the rehiring follows statutory steps required for retirees returning to work. The board also approved the personnel agenda that listed event staff positions and training items. Board discussion clarified that event workers are hired on an as-needed basis and that the state reimburses the district for Science of Reading training, meaning the district will seek reimbursement rather than funding the training from local unrestricted funds.
