Board members voted unanimously during roll calls to approve the minutes of the May 20, 2025 regular meeting; financial reports and reconciliations for May 2025; temporary appropriations for fiscal year 2026; acceptance and processing of a scholarship donation from the American Red Cross that will flow through the district (approximately $500 per student, according to staff); and an administrative resolution requesting the Cuyahoga County fiscal officer to certify millage for a proposed 7.9-mill levy (item 4.12).

Other approved items on the consent agenda included certified and classified personnel actions (appointments, resignations, leaves), supplemental contracts for 2025-26, vendor and service contracts (including a service agreement with PSI and athletics-related services such as Hudl), curriculum items for math, science and social studies for 2025-26, and routine district insurance and transportation agreements. The board also approved three exceptional-student items (12.1–12.3), service agreements, and several policy revisions and a new policy (policy numbers 5460 revision, new 7421, and revisions to 7440.01, 8452 and 8500).

The board approved an OSBA recognition award for Catherine Plockenberg and recorded appreciation in the meeting minutes.

All roll-call votes shown in the minutes were recorded as unanimous (aye votes from the five members present). No dissenting votes were recorded in the meeting transcript. No additional public comment was recorded for these items.

\"Just last year, who we served for, the last 12 calendar months, we had 805 school age students with IEPs and ETRs...and a 113 preschool IEPs and ETRs,\" Jen Moles said. She reported the district is currently planning for 689 school-aged students with disabilities and 70 preschoolers enrolled for the upcoming fall and said the district has added two special-education teacher positions.

Moles told the board the district will open a new multiple-disabilities unit at Roland Elementary and move an autism unit to Adrian (from Sunview) because of capacity. \"Adrian will have our autism unit and Roland will add a third classroom for students with multiple disabilities,\" she said.

Moles said the district met Ohio's compliance indicators for special education and that graduation and dropout performance for students with disabilities was strong. \"Our graduation is right around 93 percent,\" she said.

The director described an internal monitoring process that involved teams from each building reviewing evaluations and individualized education programs quarterly. She said the district reduced noncompliance for ETR (evaluation team report) summaries from 89 percent needing improvement to 8 percent by May after targeted interventions and training.

Superintendent Capel and board members praised the work and asked about professional development and funding. The superintendent said professional development for special education will primarily be supported by Title I allocations and internal staff, though Title II funds for professional development were cut in half and the district is reviewing options.

Why this matters: The report shows both program expansion to meet student need and measurable improvement in compliance and documentation, which affect state reporting, program funding and students' access to services. The board did not take separate action on Moles' report; related personnel and program changes appeared later on the consent agenda and were approved.","The board heard a year-end report from the district's Office of Exceptional Children: enrollment in special education rose, two new classrooms will open next year, and compliance measures show marked improvement.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6553583,"Board hears state legislative update as lawmakers consider bills affecting school funding",344,88000,432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5066931-05771becf6b54e4d6ce09cc44a32b8d2&start=88&end=432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5066931-05771becf6b54e4d6ce09cc44a32b8d2/thumbnail_88000.jpg","/articles/6553583/Ohio/Board-hears-state-legislative-update-as-lawmakers-consider-bills-affecting-school-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6553583-7b79a4c9e0676ed74f40ace1696e5b20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145995&Signature=ek9qlys0RjvpUWb-y19RZZCU7tHc8zJ-HNSE61HUPgT2A5Ki3mEzEtOxyYfJY9Wmg33Da3oHRytqmjpLjz1d9wz6mexur0-U9KqD3JK46c0svFec3JYTrpbBbakgfZDeVkMdwfrTfnfD7yRImveO9Ap-Qpa3t-TRqsys3iCMnwb8GnI3IhqGXfvdVEeXtHWWuo~egfa~wRA9IBsq4ZoSGJ8~1SWHThOUK2CcgVnHG2Gcp7zdLR81L50PxpusIy0rTxpBYSpcIUkNcFuoymK2Z-1fDMmIYK5f57fscUhKnpo2EpKQzNqYdsSBdO~9OhniKwiFZ7uq7-vyLPVob7KuHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The South Euclid Lyndhurst Board of Education received a legislative update Tuesday about several state bills that could affect district funding and operations.

Miss Wachamblad, the board's legislative liaison, told the board the governor signed House Bill 15, which includes provisions allowing a board of education to apply to the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission for loans from an \"energy performance contracting loan fund\" to pay certain energy conservation measure installment contracts. She also said House Bill 96 remained in conference committee and could reach the governor by July 1 once final differences were reconciled.

\"Got some, starting from the top on the governor's desk is, the governor signed House Bill 15,\" Miss Wachamblad said. \"It allows the board of education of the city to apply to the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission for a loan from a...energy performance contracting loan fund to pay certain energy conservation measure installment contract.\"

Board member Miss King and other members flagged House Bill 335 — described in the meeting as a proposed property tax relief measure that would eliminate \"inside millage.\" A board member said the district had estimated a loss of about $5,100,000 under the bill as drafted and warned that would require significant cuts.

\"That inside millage dollar amount would be about 5,100,000 underneath the current tax value,\" a board member said during the legislative report. \"That would cripple multiple public school districts. That said, once, I'll say it again, this is 100% an attack on public education.\"

Superintendent Capel told the board the district has been monitoring developments and coordinating with advocacy groups, including the Buckeye Association of School Administrators (BASA), the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) and the Educational Service Center (ESC). The superintendent said the district has prepared contingency plans if the legislation moves forward.

The board also heard that House Bill 114, which alters the age requirement for kindergarten admission, passed the Ohio House and was awaiting further action in the Senate.

Why this matters: Board members said the largest concern was the potential fiscal impact of House Bill 335. District officials said a reduction on the scale described would affect after-school programs, staffing and other services. The board said it has submitted letters to lawmakers and will continue advocacy and monitoring through the July 1 legislative deadline.

No formal district action was taken on the bills at the June 24 meeting; the report was informational.","At its June 24 meeting, the South Euclid Lyndhurst Board of Education received a legislative report on several Ohio bills — including House Bill 15, House Bill 96, House Bill 335 and House Bill 114 — and was told one proposal could cut the district about $5.1 million if enacted as drafted.","actionData","errors"]
