The board accepted the personnel and contract recommendations presented in the board packet — including certified, classified and supplemental contract recommendations — contingent on satisfactory Ohio Revised Code background checks. Board members congratulated retiring employee Barry Elserman (14 years of service) and acknowledged other departing staff. The board also welcomed new hires and approved a recommendation for Chase Bettenson as the district’s new varsity boys head soccer coach; a media release about the hire will be issued by the district.

Under Ohio Revised Code section 3307.353, the board held two separate public‑hearing agenda items to receive input on the potential reemployment of retired employees Edward Lipnos and Mark Bendis. The board opened the public hearings, explained the process and limitations for public comment (speakers limited to five minutes; 30 minutes total), but no members of the public spoke at either hearing. The board noted that placement of the hearing on the agenda and a notice in the Akron Beacon Journal were required steps before reemployment can be considered.

Why it matters: Reemployment of retirees and personnel actions affect staffing, course offerings and school operations for the coming year. The public hearings provide a statutorily required opportunity for community input before the board decides whether to rehire a retired employee.

The board moved into executive session later in the meeting to discuss employment and compensation of public employees under board policy 16608. The executive session was authorized and the board then recessed to closed session; no hiring decisions were announced from the executive session in the public record.

Next steps: The board will consider public input (none was received at the hearings) and may act on reemployment decisions in a later public meeting per ORC procedures. Human‑resources staff will continue onboarding new hires and processing recommended contracts pending background checks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Twinsburg Board of Education 6/25/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved personnel and contract recommendations, welcomed retirees and new hires, and scheduled public hearings under Ohio law on the potential reemployment of two retired employees; motions passed unanimously.","taxTitle","Twinsburg City, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",60464,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_32":74,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":75,"_40":76,"_42":77,"_44":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":54,"_55":56,"_57":83,"_59":60,"_61":62,"_63":84,"_65":66,"_67":68,"_69":66,"_70":71,"_72":71},6184069,"Twinsburg Board signs multiple student‑services contracts, approves special‑education placements",387,1160000,1547000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093095-544c72ef105dddd74035e1fd84248f46&start=1160&end=1547","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093095-544c72ef105dddd74035e1fd84248f46/thumbnail_1160000.jpg","/articles/6184069/Twinsburg-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Twinsburg-Board-signs-multiple-studentservices-contracts-approves-specialeducation-placements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184069-495db038431308ea90a897d73e0277e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770211995&Signature=gERekZ~2LZeCoRnUMLvGUFAFXW55ne2JpWFyBU1hal7PyfjM1KSITUVYpZaHz3LL~HtrIqq5rFSz8Nr8F9ICuxp44D73C-gY5GfmbCHo8zvgDuNXl2WoeAgcF8stE6erh9L-tWnsDxELhqf--cIfKGqrq3yOiRi1U7jdTt13-6LoSe4-fzXbD70tjFMsGA1CuyRWGiyxpoCaAykjX8RNdehSr5a94fKdp-LhQN9oEBUE92k~C5QLEGclE9CfZ1o~~kJmoF9FqJaNaQ79gaJFZo2Io1HBFZl8UmmOu00hBUM0KGhh8YDvUgFNP6SeCUmnDNf7YuZjL8ealAMcY3ArPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Twinsburg Board of Education approved several contracts and placement agreements for the 2025–26 school year on measures presented under separate cover, including agreements for therapy services, specialized placements and a social‑emotional services contract with Beach Brook.

Key approvals included an agreement with Crockett Physical Therapy in Macedonia for physical therapy services not to exceed $115,000 (general fund); an agreement with Sendero Therapies Inc. in Northfield to provide occupational therapy services not to exceed $255,500 (general fund); and a professional‑services agreement with LLA Therapeutic (speech and related services) that lists hourly rates in the board materials (speech/language and therapist rates cited in meeting materials). The board also approved placement contracts with KidsLink School LLC in Streetsboro (two separate placements with tuition amounts listed in board materials of approximately $99,125 and $98,000) and with STEPS Educational Group for one student (tuition cited at $85,000 in the materials). The board approved extended school‑year services for one student at a cost of $8,169 (general fund).

A behavioral services agreement with ABA Outreach Services in Independence was approved “per the agreement sent to the board under separate cover.” The transcript included a not‑to‑exceed figure that appears garbled in the meeting record; the board materials were cited as the authoritative source for the exact amount. Several transportation and settlement agreements related to individualized placements and tuition waivers were also approved as general fund expenditures, and the board approved an agreement with Beach Brook in Garfield Heights to provide social‑emotional services to at‑risk and behavior‑challenged students from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026; the Beach Brook contract amount is listed in board materials as $459,405 and is funded from the student wellness fund and the general fund.

Why it matters: These contracts and placements affect services supplied to students with special needs and social‑emotional challenges and represent substantial district expenditures that will be charged to the general fund and related student‑services funds.

Several motions were moved and seconded from the dais; the meeting record shows the contracts were presented “as sent to the board under separate cover.” The board did not receive public comment on these specific contracts during the meeting; votes were recorded as passing on the board’s roll calls.

Next steps: District staff will execute the approved contracts and manage placements per the terms in the agreements sent to the board. The board materials contain detailed fee schedules and contract terms; those documents were referenced repeatedly during the meeting.","The board approved a package of vendor agreements and student placements for the 2025–26 school year covering physical therapy, occupational and speech therapy, behavioral services, specialized placements and a social‑emotional services agreement with Beach Brook.",{"_32":86,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":87,"_40":88,"_42":89,"_44":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":54,"_55":56,"_57":95,"_59":60,"_61":62,"_63":96,"_65":66,"_67":68,"_69":66,"_70":71,"_72":71},6184074,"Twinsburg Board approves fiscal-year appropriations, temporary budget and K12 consulting contract",93,641000,734000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093095-544c72ef105dddd74035e1fd84248f46&start=641&end=734","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093095-544c72ef105dddd74035e1fd84248f46/thumbnail_641000.jpg","/articles/6184074/Twinsburg-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Twinsburg-Board-approves-fiscal-year-appropriations-temporary-budget-and-K12-consulting-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184074-fdeffc19516f9117ce38ed2c7c1ccf2c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770211995&Signature=ns7V5kMM81coCZ83gtyuM8xFg3KOb-38ZfNTJPEJwdHUBnnibXOcobAQVTwwxvEDdqKy5IV9jS3UloAA66ooRxzgtE7KXi3aKH1Kzuc0mjqg5VszUuBt9ffm0eOS9bVM04aB88fouj01110EwT7RtFxQwDkfpNKtCOWjWS~7IpEaQQ3KA9ItrPFS1ZwvONPkzC58suykjIXwZ~ogQlIvOzPwbpHRI6dm3POjJmD0pxrGHfGJIasrMbz9TreUiJnBvbXBgyG0I8xSuN6JnnkZeO-xdZpBHPgwqJFF25nRA8eHtl5ZERNrVN2LtC1Z1QFc9Dd7tXwnLPY4z0herI2p7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Twinsburg Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to approve an appropriations resolution for fiscal year 2025, adopt a temporary budget for fiscal year 2026 and authorize several related fiscal items, including a contract for five‑year forecasting services.

The board approved the FY2025 appropriations resolution and the proposed temporary budget for FY2026, and authorized a fund transfer of $8,059.04 from the district agency OHSAA fund (022) to the general fund (001). The board also approved a contract with K12 Consulting Inc., of New Albany, Ohio, to prepare the district's five‑year forecast; the contract is a general fund expense with additional travel costs not to exceed $7,900 if required, according to materials sent to the board under separate cover.

Why it matters: The appropriations resolution and temporary budget set legal spending limits for the district and allow administrators to continue operations while the board finalizes the formal FY2026 budget. The five‑year forecast contract provides financial modeling the district will use in multiyear planning.

Most of the board's fiscal business was presented “as sent to the board under separate cover,” meaning detailed line items and supporting exhibits were provided in board materials rather than read verbatim during the meeting. The motion to approve the listed fiscal items was moved by Missus Hamilton, seconded by Missus Travis, and passed on a roll call vote of 4–0.

Board members and staff noted that the district will continue to monitor state budget activity that could affect the district’s long‑range planning but did not take additional fiscal action at the meeting. The board did not receive public comment on these agenda items.

Next steps: District staff will implement the approved appropriations and begin work under the K12 Consulting contract per the terms in the board materials; specific dates and deliverables were provided in the contract documents sent to the board.","The Twinsburg Board of Education approved an FY2025 appropriations resolution, a temporary FY2026 budget, a small fund transfer and a contract with K12 Consulting for five‑year forecast services; motions passed unanimously.","actionData","errors"]
