The comment came during public participation when Nora Garris of 20964 Bear Swamp Road told the board she and her husband both work full time and had arranged for their children to board a sitter’s bus in the mornings. “But today, I received an email from transportation that said those forms will not be reviewed until the second week in September, which is 4 weeks into the school year,” Garris said. “So I'm kind of at a loss as to what my children are supposed to do in the morning… I just kind of was speechless.”

Board members and staff responded that transportation communications were being sent to routed families and that the district’s transportation team was working through issues raised by families. Superintendent Jonathan said district teams have been enrolling students all summer and encouraged families to register early; he added that transportation emails were scheduled for distribution and corrections could be made after families received those messages. Treasurer Todd Johnson and other board members also noted the transportation team’s ongoing summer work to route students and recruit drivers.

The board approved a separate, formal student-transportation impracticality resolution during the meeting that authorizes the superintendent to declare a route or stop impractical in specific circumstances; board members voted in favor of that resolution without recorded opposition. The resolution authorizes staff discretion but does not change the district’s published routing process.

District staff said an email and a phone call to routed families would be sent in the evening before routing information is posted; the board heard that the transportation team had already corrected several routing emails the morning after distribution. Board members publicly commended transportation staff for proactively monitoring routing emails and for early summer work to recruit and train bus drivers.

The board did not adopt any emergency policy change to speed alternate-address reviews at the meeting. Parents with immediate concerns were told to contact transportation staff directly; staff reported handling multiple correction emails within the morning after routing notices were sent.

The district also reported open positions in transportation and that several drivers were in summer training. Board and staff remarks repeatedly urged families to complete enrollment and back-to-school forms early to reduce delays in routing and related services.

For now, the practical effect is a timeline mismatch: parents who rely on alternate-address arrangements said they will face a gap unless the district expedites reviews or provides temporary arrangements. Board members asked staff to follow up and make corrections as families report issues. The transport team’s next step is to resolve individual cases reported via the district’s transportation contact points and to finalize routes based on corrected information.

Johnson said the governor vetoed several items the district welcomed, including a provision that would have allowed county budget commissions to reduce school millage and a proposal that would have altered how emergency levies are counted in the 20‑mill floor calculation. He also noted the state will change the required forecast schedule from a five‑year outlook to a four‑year outlook; for the district the October forecast deadline will be October 15 and May updates will move to February 28 with thereafter an August/February cadence.

The treasurer reported fiscal year 2025 actual totals now available: total revenue about $8.3 million, with real estate tax the largest portion at just over $4 million and TIF (tax increment financing) revenue somewhat above $3 million for fiscal 25. Johnson warned the TIF amount will drop in future years and that the district adjusted PI (Permanent Improvement) and general fund plans this year anticipating the change. He said that, overall, revenue and expenditures for the fiscal year came in within a fraction of projected amounts.

Johnson also reviewed capital and facilities needs identified by the district’s consultant, citing large multi‑year items such as mechanical systems (estimated about $6.2 million over five years), roofing, asphalt (about $3.2 million), fire panels and chillers, and other urgent items. He said many of those urgent maintenance items can be done within the current forecast, but the long‑term picture depends on the master facilities plan and any future bond proposal. The treasurer reported the bond fund currently has $5.3 million and that after four more years of debt payments the district’s existing bonds would be paid off (December 2028 payment noted as payoff date), making a potential “no new millage” bond issue possible in a future cycle.

Johnson also warned of a potential federal funding reduction: preliminary guidance from the Ohio Department of Education indicated that Title II‑A and Title IV‑A funds (about $100,000 and $30,000 respectively in past years) should not be expected this year, which would shift that previously earmarked staff cost back into the general fund if the guidance is finalized.

Board members discussed the implications: moving from a five‑year to a four‑year forecast will compress and potentially improve the appearance of long‑term forecasts (because the most difficult year previously was year five), but it does not remove underlying fiscal pressures. Johnson said the district would still run internal five‑year analyses for planning but that state reporting will now use four years. The treasurer concluded that the district is in a relatively stable short‑term position but that timing of projects and the recommended facilities plan will determine longer‑term outcomes.

Johnson’s presentation included line‑item detail on fiscal 25 expenditures (transportation purchases, technology refresh, gym repairs, HVAC work), an urgent list from the facilities consultant (HPM), and a projection showing cash balance increases for fiscal 25 and 26 before future projects are completed. He said the district should be able to address currently identified urgent work within the forecast but that the ultimate mix of PI fund spending versus bond funding will depend on the facilities plan and community decisions about a future levy or bond.

Superintendent Jonathan told the board the district had begun implementation last year of a reading curriculum aligned with state science‑of‑reading requirements and that the district selected HMH for primary grades. \"We actually started that implementation last year,\" he said. The board approved continued implementation as the project enters year two; the superintendent noted additional resources were purchased for middle and high school grades as needed.

The consent agenda included a list of hires and supplemental assignments. The board approved Pamela Berkey as the new Edgewood Elementary principal and Jessica Parthmore as the new Raymond Elementary principal; the superintendent welcomed both to their roles during the meeting. The consent agenda also listed multiple classified and certified hires, substitutes, volunteer coaches and extracurricular assignments.

The board approved a 25¢ increase in the student breakfast price, moving the breakfast charge from $2.00 to $2.25, a change the superintendent attributed to rising food costs and low participation relative to operating costs. The student athletic handbook and overnight trip requests (boys' golf) were approved on the consent agenda as routine items.

Board members welcomed new hires present at the meeting and thanked HR and hiring teams for their summer work in staffing the district. Several board members publicly acknowledged the district’s recruiting efforts and noted the importance of hiring for school safety and instructional quality.

Board discussion clarified the motion does not approve a lease or authorize construction; it authorizes district business staff to pursue negotiations and return any proposed agreement to the board for formal approval. A business manager explained the carrier approached the district and that the likely location is on a portion of district land that the district does not plan to use for school construction because of geographic constraints.

Board members said they support exploring the option if the tower remains in the area indicated on district materials and not moved into more visible or central open areas. One board member described the proposed location as “tucked up close to the road” beyond the baseball and softball fields, and said the proposed siting appeared to be out of the way. Another member said that if the tower moved into a larger open field area that would be problematic.

The motion was moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The board did not vote on any lease terms at the meeting; staff were directed to negotiate and bring any proposed lease back to the board for approval.

Board members praised the consultant’s academic approach — assessing how teachers use space and matching instructional methods to facilities — and emphasized the board’s action accepts the plan as a recommendation rather than authorizing any immediate construction or bond. \"This measure tonight we're gonna vote on doesn't lock us into anything. This is a summary that we are accepting with recommendations,\" one board member said during discussion.

The plan recommends a multi‑step, roughly ten‑year timeline that includes changes to grade bands in elementary buildings, repurposing an existing facility to serve elementary students (to avoid building a new elementary), and addressing size needs in upper grades with a future building. The board heard that accepting the plan would provide flexibility: administrators, teachers and the community can discuss and stage implementation steps before any construction or bond referendum.

Board members noted the plan’s fiscal framing: past bond payments will end in about four years, creating a potential window for a bond issue without adding new millage; the treasurer earlier in the meeting said existing bonds would be paid off by the December 2028 payment. Several board members and the superintendent encouraged prompt action on urgent maintenance to avoid higher costs later.

Board members thanked the community task force that worked with the consultant and said that group may continue as the district refines implementation steps. The board approved the acceptance motion by recorded vote; the action accepts the consultant’s recommendations and directs further study and community discussion prior to any bond or construction decisions.

Quoted material comes from board discussion at the July 17 meeting and is attributed to board members speaking on the record.","The Board of Education voted to accept a consultant’s master facilities plan as a recommendation to guide long-term building and grade‑band decisions.
