The board was told the pool has “some leakage around the decking that washed out some sand,” creating a need for immediate repair so the pool can be made available “for the season,” the board was told during the meeting.

The motion to approve the emergency resolution was moved and seconded on the agenda; the board then conducted a roll call vote with members recorded as voting in favor. The board did not discuss budget details in the meeting minutes but characterized the action as an urgent repair to restore pool operations.

Ending: The resolution passed and repair work was authorized; board members did not provide a detailed construction timeline in the meeting discussion and directed staff to proceed with repairs.

The nut graf: The immediate handbook change implements a bell‑to‑bell approach that mirrors model language from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) made available to the district; the board directed staff and a policy subcommittee to reconcile that state model with the district’s existing PCD language on devices such as e‑readers, smart watches and laptops.

Board members debated whether the district should distinguish between device types or focus on student behavior. Dan, a board member, summarized a common theme in the discussion: “I feel like we’re focusing too much on specific devices and not behavior.” Several members argued that e‑readers and simple reading devices should be allowed for non‑instructional periods, while others emphasized the need to implement a clear cell‑phone rule before the start of school.

Administrators and staff referenced the ODE model cell‑phone policy’s progressive-discipline approach — verbal warning, secure storage of the device for the class or day, parental contact, and escalating consequences — and recommended putting the cell‑phone language immediately into the K–12 handbooks so schools have a consistent rule for opening week. The board approved a handbook amendment applying to K–12 that requires students’ cell phones to be silenced and stored in a locker during the instructional day; the board also voted to table the proposed policy revision (PCD policy 5136) and referred the matter to a policy committee (board members Dan and Julie plus staff) to draft refined language addressing non‑cell devices and enforcement details.

The board discussed practical enforcement issues raised by staff: technology staff are evaluating ways to limit messaging over school Wi‑Fi on district devices, and administrators noted that many classroom enforcement questions will be handled at the building level while the board completes policy language.

Ending: The handbook change takes effect for the coming school year to provide immediate, uniform guidance; the policy committee will return a draft PCD policy for board consideration at a later meeting.

The foundation awarded “over $13,000 in grants” to faculty, provided more than $10,000 for professional development, and distributed roughly $26,000 in student scholarships, Jody said. She also reported more than $43,000 in donations during the past year and said event proceeds produced a large surplus; she described an approximately $1,213,000 figure for the combined hall-of-fame events and said total distributions exceeded $111,000 for the year.

The nut graf: The foundation’s work directly affects classroom resources, teacher development and student scholarships; its new “100 for 100” campaign is intended to reconnect retired staff with current schools and provide predictable, small-dollar funding for teacher grants, scholarships and start-up support for alumni who return to teach in Sylvania.

In her presentation, Jody briefly summarized ongoing and new partnerships. She said the foundation is working with UT as a local feeder relationship, and that UT will be a major donor and is expected to deepen school visits and collaboration. She credited local businesses and groups—naming Owens and Sidecar in her remarks—for recent scholarship donations and event support. The foundation has also hired an investment adviser and formed an investment committee to move funds out of low-interest bank accounts, Jody said.

Jody outlined events and programs the foundation runs or supports: two hall-of-fame events, a new Taste of Sylvania food-truck event on the Friday before the first game, fall-festival participation, and ongoing scholarship distribution. She described the “100 for 100” campaign as a retired-staff fundraising drive that asks 100 former staff to donate $100 each; the foundation’s stated uses for that pool of money are (1) increased grant and professional-development funding for current teachers, (2) scholarships for graduating seniors, (3) $100 classroom-start gift cards for alumni who return to teach in Sylvania, and (4) an end-of-year luncheon or gathering for retired staff.

Jody said the campaign already is “a quarter of the way through” among the retired-staff coordinators who have signed on to solicit peers and that she expects matching grants to boost the effort. She asked board members to help with donor contacts and thanked the board for its support.

Ending: The foundation provided contact information and asked board members and the community to nominate hall-of-fame inductees by the Oct. 31 deadline and to attend upcoming events. The board did not take formal action on the foundation presentation; the report was informational.

","At the Aug. 11 Board of Education meeting, a foundation representative gave a year-end financial update, described partnerships and events, and introduced a ‘100 for 100’ campaign that asks retired staff to donate $100 each to support grants, scholarships and new-teacher start-up cards.","actionData","errors"]
