The board approved the written summaries of regular and special minutes for meetings on June 3, June 17, June 24 and June 30, 2025 as part of the consent agenda. The consent agenda motion was moved and seconded and approved by roll call.

Under finance, the board approved the financial reports for June 2025. Ms. McCarthy moved to approve the financial reports in one reading; the motion passed by roll call.

In the education report, the board approved a resolution to purchase 230 desktop computers from \"Cheat Cheat Corporation\" at a cost not to exceed $175,000 to support instructional and operational computing needs; the education-item motion was moved by the board member presenting the education report and seconded. (The meeting transcript names the vendor as presented to the board; the district can confirm formal vendor name in the purchase documentation.)

The human resources report included multiple personnel items the board approved in one vote: certified and support staff appointments, leaves and replacement appointments, substitute contracts, supplemental contracts, resignations, and an administrative resignation. The board also introduced new staff members for public recognition: Lily (fourth-grade teacher at Ranger High-tech Academy), Elizabeth Gonzales (music teacher at the Early Childhood Learning Community), and Rebecca Wells (fourth-grade teacher at Ranger High-tech Academy). The presenters described the new hires' backgrounds and welcomed them in person.

All consent, finance, education and human-resources items were approved by roll-call votes at the meeting; the transcript records affirmative votes from board members present.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 15, 2025 Board of Education Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","On July 15 the North Ridgeville Board approved its consent agenda and the district's June 2025 financial reports, authorized a purchase of 230 desktop computers at a cost not to exceed $175,000, and approved multiple personnel items; the board also introduced new staff members to the community.","taxTitle","North Ridgeville City, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",55377,"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},6169596,"Resident raises custody and records concern after school released child; district to follow up",276,2042000,2318000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5403834-3ce6b3a22c2abb73e2bcaf87b231453b&start=2042&end=2318","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5403834-3ce6b3a22c2abb73e2bcaf87b231453b/thumbnail_2042000.jpg","/articles/6169596/Ohio/Resident-raises-custody-and-records-concern-after-school-released-child-district-to-follow-up","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6169596-d145322446e20f89949ac2e51b1f15bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142489&Signature=f-dGNIwl6mFReII75U7KVMwDGfRC~3vXpoOcoViZs2a7FdEWZeU0j~sT9l0fjtqjCV1P9EqJTs-zZ5YohIUiGgQGuGsaCrRyg40S5eDVhP9adNbCqjL0L9EN29HENYY0e~14Qdu7NFGGGIvGSjQQagOfljCZOSVgwUf-2PDONAji~czgHV2AwXNd3GLMOzs-h1yJXWLOpQYnf2F-XieJlWSHI1u19FLw0LWemZQGzOl0sDt0kjPrHeneRQxwV1a-PVD9vLzfOBzY0X0e2~0ecz~Erc5AvZJKTHHkEw3nxllyF3tkLt7eySb7Fu~HQcOcI8iHqNmKL6cwB14W-xW1aQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the public-comment portion of the July 15 meeting, a resident, Tim Sherrill, described an incident in which he said school staff removed a parent's name from the school system and released a child to a father without verifying the family’s updated court documents.

Sherrill, who identified himself as a part-time resident and a former Wilcox student, said he and his family have an ongoing custody dispute and that updated court paperwork naming him a legal guardian was on file. He said school staff \"literally erased the name\" and released the child; he described paying legal fees and ongoing litigation. He said he believed the incident could be a Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) violation and asked the district for names and contact information to pursue the matter.

A district official told Sherrill that the pertinent parties would reach out and that staff would have conversations to address the issue. \"What will happen now, sir, is you provided your contact information included in a phone number when you signed in? ... So what will happen, the pertinent parties will reach out to you,\" the official said. The district asked Sherrill to re-sign and said someone would contact him \"in the next couple days\" to discuss what records the district has on file and next steps.

The board did not take a vote or make a formal finding on the complaint during the meeting. The transcript records the resident's allegations and the district's commitment to follow up; no outside documentation or final administrative determination was announced at the meeting.","A resident said a child was released after a parent’s name was removed from school records and urged the board to investigate a possible FERPA issue; district staff said pertinent parties would contact the speaker to address the matter.",{"_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},6169600,"Board urges public to contact state lawmakers over House Bill 96 provisions it says would hit district finances",293,1712000,2005000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5403834-3ce6b3a22c2abb73e2bcaf87b231453b&start=1712&end=2005","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5403834-3ce6b3a22c2abb73e2bcaf87b231453b/thumbnail_1712000.jpg","/articles/6169600/Ohio/Board-urges-public-to-contact-state-lawmakers-over-House-Bill-96-provisions-it-says-would-hit-district-finances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6169600-3028b0499b708aa3afd07e6b94c0f728/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142489&Signature=O-yRlu51FZSMEXqjIzv4LHpz8J5vOeQ4W3jJm4mLUAfwJIAobC--ABic9qu6xNxxUMU11fpE7EvC9k1W-CKFPJ9avWwkZWkqdy5s7Z6ryCxH7fGLCOaotkKYrvWSVcyjNIX~ighc0XGP8pdC7wuw3AT4f3ny6vzW7Ly-BAR1UGtGvTfE1bkxc0D6TRAHKeyRYmTLKpTbR0QYSLo1YBtrHOEVUo1gVsMzSA7UvnJs5ZTndvgwj1s9Dsr8XsAQlaERT34VXrVPB2-iLa-vO1u326XV-5Obmw~s~ZzjB5iJvLS85TRVqF2kG2Y20PNonEqnbxhvN8xpYBnHG7Njw1bX7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members used the July 15 meeting to ask residents to contact state lawmakers about three provisions in House Bill 96 that they said would undermine the district's ability to respond to inflation and maintain local funding.

\"There is a bill going forward to override the vetoes that the governor, three of the vetoes specifically that the governor vetoed in the, provisions that the governor vetoed in the house bill of 96. Those are items 55, 65, and 66. Those will substantially hurt our financial stability in the district if though if that detail is overridden,\" a board member said, urging people to contact \"Senator Manning and Representative Manning.\" The speaker said the provisions could prohibit renewing existing substitute levies and would leave districts without a mechanism to respond to inflationary costs.

A second board member characterized the potential override as an immediate financial threat. \"If they override these 3 things, we're gonna lose tens of millions of dollars almost literally overnight,\" the board member said, and said cuts to electives and extracurriculars could follow if funding were lost.

District communications staff prepared materials for residents to share with lawmakers. Dr. Susan Bauchner, speaking at the meeting, thanked the district communications supervisor and assistant superintendent for assembling talking points and directed that the materials be posted and shared; the board indicated the materials would be put on the district website and emailed to parents. The board did not take a formal vote on the matter at the July 15 meeting.

No specific legislative language beyond the transcript references (House Bill 96, items 55, 65 and 66) was provided in the meeting. The board's message was a request for constituent outreach; the district said it would make informational materials available to help residents contact their state representatives.","Board members warned that three provisions in House Bill 96 (items 55, 65 and 66) could limit levy mechanisms and strain district finances, and asked the public to contact Senator Manning and Representative Manning; district communications materials are being posted to help residents reach lawmakers.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6169607,"North Ridgeville board gets construction update on new high school; groundbreaking set for Aug. 15",1492,96000,1588000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5403834-3ce6b3a22c2abb73e2bcaf87b231453b&start=96&end=1588","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5403834-3ce6b3a22c2abb73e2bcaf87b231453b/thumbnail_96000.jpg","/articles/6169607/Ohio/North-Ridgeville-board-gets-construction-update-on-new-high-school-groundbreaking-set-for-Aug-15","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6169607-02cb9261e4bc1dccaff821dd28f1a697/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142489&Signature=hhfXOsVarQsBPnk4wETftVdQ8HnCb1dnoYygOBvWtmYD8LL3f-CabCzgO2SPUDLO~zkFAdgx761jJylp72vQfKjJh1Vn~0tL2DyLWPRlyVGuyVi4uOkBOkFXtK6EDalOQUuRMHKgj1LX8q~xsuJyGgNvp8rd54Zc67DhnWth1AEyxQMv7l9OFddqqe8Ky4gO94eqcEGMo5dx2Bf9MG1Wog46wzGqh9sMhUpp5EDmfBr3iAxE5voO92PI892u2ttEM5eqyMHInYD4zL3SZhTVw9cffkjLePajm9wtpPA5n6A~35bTH7pIN~Il9eWeKtMZmtV44iDTilF086My~eXKDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Ridgeville City Schools Board of Education on July 15 received an update on the district's new high school design and construction schedule, including early site work already under way and plans to start building the main high school in spring 2026.

Design and contractor teams said the district is in early site development for the new high school and is constructing a transportation and maintenance center whose foundations are nearly complete. \"We are in the throes of that now,\" a project representative said of early site work. The contractor projected the new high school construction will begin next spring, target completion for summer 2028, then be followed by demolition of the existing high school.

The presentation explained why the project is being built: to address safety and capacity issues at the current high school and to provide new instructional and shared spaces. The teams described ongoing design activities — including furniture trials with staff and students and regular design-team coordination — and showed a 3‑D animation of the completed campus. The district plans to post the animation on its construction website and to hold a back-to-school event and groundbreaking on Aug. 15, 2025.

Project details presented to the board included: early site earthwork and utility work, new western parking lots (the presenters said base-course asphalt was paved the day of the meeting and a final course was planned in the following days), a temporary stone lot available for the fall semester, and an anticipated daily construction workforce of about 100–120 people once major construction ramps up. The transportation and maintenance center will include bus parking, a wash bay, office and locker space, and a high-bay maintenance area; presenters said steel erection for that building would begin soon and a turnover was expected early next year.

The team also described the campus layout shown in the animation: academic cores along Bainbridge, a music and performing arts center, athletic and pool spaces near the stadium, and a main entry serving the new building. The presenters said they had brought four students (a ninth-grader, a 10th-grader, an incoming 12th-grader and a graduating senior) to view the animation and included short student reactions in the video. One student in the clip commented, \"This is massive compared to the old school.\" Board members and the superintendent thanked the teams and asked that the district continue to share progress updates with the community.

No formal board action on the project took place during the presentation; the update served as information and community outreach planning. The district said it will continue design coordination through November, complete early site work through fall and winter, start building the new high school in spring 2026, and keep the community informed via the construction website and future events.","Design team and contractor told the Board of Education on July 15 that early site work is underway, the transportation and maintenance center foundations are nearly complete, high school construction will start next spring, and the district will release a 3D animation and hold a groundbreaking Aug. 15.","actionData","errors"]
