On the superintendent’s consent agenda the board recorded two resignations and several hires. The superintendent noted two resignations in instructional positions (an eighth‑grade math position and an intervention specialist at the high school) and said district administrators are working to fill those openings. The board also approved hires and role changes including Maggie Pickens (instructional specialist, relocating from Ashland), a new fifth guidance counselor, Shana Schwartz, and a specialized paraeducator, Roentree Price, at Cornerstone.

The board voted to rescind the prior board action (item 8.03 from the June 17, 2025 agenda) that had approved a tentative three‑year collective bargaining agreement with the Wooster Education Association for classified staff effective Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 3, 2028. The superintendent said the rescission was necessary because a clerical error had placed incorrect percentage figures into the prior board item; the district and the union agreed the rescind-and-correct step was appropriate to reflect the parties’ actual agreement. The motion to rescind passed with board members recorded as voting yes.

The board also approved a service agreement with SchoolCare for 2025–26. Administrators described the agreement as no cost to the district; the platform is intended to streamline provider communications and billing and to reduce the need to expand access to the district’s DASL student information system. As one board member said during discussion, the agreement is “good from a privacy standpoint,” and the superintendent noted the district could end the arrangement if it proved unsatisfactory.

Votes and procedure: Motions for the superintendent’s consent agenda, the rescission of the classified‑staff board action, and the SchoolCare agreement were moved and seconded and were recorded as approved by board members present. The rescission motion was explained as a clerical correction and not a renegotiation of the parties’ substantive agreement.

What’s next: Personnel openings will be posted and filled as hiring proceeds; administrators said they will continue negotiating and processing contract language as needed and will implement the SchoolCare platform in coordination with Akron Children’s Hospital staff, with the ability to terminate the agreement if it does not meet district needs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 27th, 2025 Board of Education Special Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Board accepted resignations, approved new hires, rescinded a prior classified‑staff agreement to correct a clerical error, and approved a no‑cost SchoolCare service agreement with Akron Children’s Hospital for student-care coordination and billing support.","taxTitle","Wooster City Schools, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",70110,"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},6184190,"Wooster schools to move $23 million to capital fund after state budget changes",1001,215000,1216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5092644-26772a9b8415f983c72bce1ee35d8f9c&start=215&end=1216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5092644-26772a9b8415f983c72bce1ee35d8f9c/thumbnail_215000.jpg","/articles/6184190/Ohio/Wooster-schools-to-move-23-million-to-capital-fund-after-state-budget-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184190-7896d74d58b890fa4720a83fbba53051/orig.mp4?Expires=1773643890&Signature=OivBo-dYFRtIBv8oEXvlO3cZzZnucJYnkHXf4e5SGhL0ysaYCeDbK~tLKW7CsUVub7xOqxe5wEG-nFpr3BBo1OEe6nR2K9VPyUoIeCCmskMELy9j02h4X0pyn3tg3G7HV~5uDIYyhufeL0E~vw3rCT0ZBNSrJz5IKt0SJJjQNWd-P~mUUV-DhZpH-KI0aEXXAbTNxuwk0dA8j7-HxKVpr7H8yfP-TbrlT8z39ueCYPkmvfjobmMVKWd33NEMg65x-MlRTxq88u4VHA8gxoX5uJN2gkZ~89Ida5bZTnA-MJ6~j~LzweF-hgVWtK-CBQWOukbvBKvSTsSU-Aiiq2-GXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wooster City School District Board of Education approved amended fiscal-year 2025 appropriations and a set of fund transfers that include a $23,000,000 transfer into the district’s 070 capital projects account after changes in the state budget, board members said Tuesday.

The action, approved as part of the treasurer’s report, adjusts the district’s amended appropriations to $93,057,123.10 and moves excess operating cash into the capital projects fund to comply with a state budget cash-balance provision. The treasurer’s presentation said the transfer would move the district to a 40% cash balance as described in the conference committee version of the state budget and that the governor has until July 1 to line-item veto portions of the bill.

District Treasurer Amy (identified in the meeting transcript by her first name) told the board the transfer is reversible if the governor vetoes the provision: “Yes. We can transfer that back to general fund.” She also described the transfer as administrative: the money will be held in the capital projects account and “it’s not like we have to spend that within this fiscal year,” and any spending plan would be developed over the coming months.

Why it matters: The transfer is intended to preserve operating capacity while allowing the district to set aside funds for capital projects. Board members said the district will evaluate facility needs and present options to the community, aiming to have clearer plans “by around the first of the year.” The treasurer noted the transferred funds must be spent within 10 years under the budget language the district is following.

In addition to the classroom-facilities transfer, the board approved year-end advances totaling $273,679 from the general fund to cover temporary negative balances in grant and other funds that are awaiting state reimbursement. The treasurer explained these negative balances are timing issues tied to encumbrances and reimbursement requests: “It’s just bookkeeping. It is timing.”

The board also approved other interfund moves requested to close the year, including a permanent transfer to cover an athletic fund shortfall and a $350,000 transfer to the termination/ severance (termination benefits) fund to cover retirements. A transfer requested by Heidi Haas, principal at Edgewood, moved small remaining balances from the Edgewood school store fund into her administrative fund; the principal requested the transfer because the school store fund is no longer used.

Trustees approved temporary appropriations for fiscal year 2026 that give the district spending authority starting July 1, 2025. The temporary FY2026 appropriations total $70,901,833; the treasurer said the amount is provisional and will be updated in October after more complete information is available. For the capital projects fund the treasurer initially set $3,000,000 as temporary authority while the district develops a longer-term spending plan.

Board votes: The motions on amended appropriations, advances, transfers and temporary appropriations were each moved and seconded and recorded with board members voting in favor. During roll call on multiple motions the transcript records votes as: Goodwright Yes; Starcher Yes; Austin Yes; Kleinhenz Yes; (a roll-call entry also records Whitehead Yes for one vote). No opposing votes or abstentions were recorded in the transcript excerpts for these items.

Background and next steps: Board members and administrators said they will use the next several months to refine capital planning and to determine how best to deploy the newly available funds while preserving operating stability. The treasurer said the district will revisit any vetoed items at the July 15 meeting if the governor takes action.

The board approved these fiscal items during its regular meeting without further public comment on the measures.","Board approved amended FY2025 appropriations and a $23 million transfer to a capital projects account after changes in the state budget that set a 40% cash-balance expectation; trustees also approved advances and several interfund transfers to close the fiscal year.","actionData","errors"]
