\"We're going to be doing robo calls and another email tomorrow, but also making announcements at buildings about behavior at the stadium,\" Slosch said, describing initial steps to address students running in large spectator areas and \"people getting knocked over and hurt.\" She said the district will place safety associates at events and has a stepped approach: \"So this is just the first layer of asking them to stay seated unless you're using the restroom...we're trying the first layer. We'll see how that goes, and, we hope that we can make it happen. I feel good about it. And then if we can't, we may have to add layers,\" Slosch said.

Slosch also reported positive signs from a recently implemented high-school phone policy. School staff told her that a teacher \"has seen so much more engagement from her students.\" The superintendent said the district paired the phone policy with a new tardy policy to give students designated times and clear consequences.

On traffic and arrival/dismissal patterns, Slosch said the district worked with the EPD and Valerius City to deploy new markings and strategies at some schools. \"We have more what we call Ring Road potential than the old Ely did. But what we're finding is we have more car riders than we had pre COVID...you'll have to go around the block a few times, if there's no room in the Ring Road,\" she said, urging parents not to stop in dangerous zones such as Golf or Ohio Street. Slosch said Chief Welsh is helping with strategic enforcement.

She also mentioned upcoming events (a home game against Brunswick, the Save Our Children gala, a golf outing), and celebrated recent athletic results: JV football and boys and girls soccer wins over Lorain, and cross country teams placing first (boys) and second (girls) at the Bucyrus Invitational.

These remarks were a superintendent informational report; no board action was required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Elyria Board of Education Meeting, September 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Superintendent Anne Slosch told the Valerius City School Board on Sept. 3 the district will increase communications and staff presence to curb unsafe stadium behavior, reported early gains from a new high-school phone policy, and outlined traffic changes with local police and the city.","taxTitle","Elyria City, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",38467,"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},6476857,"Valerius board approves personnel appointments, supplemental contracts and accepts resignation",109,267000,376000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5716559-7d2018a651e6ce929856e81bcd8d67f9&start=267&end=376","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5716559-7d2018a651e6ce929856e81bcd8d67f9/thumbnail_267000.jpg","/articles/6476857/Ohio/Valerius-board-approves-personnel-appointments-supplemental-contracts-and-accepts-resignation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476857-38381ff6f6b9d3c140019d99f9a4960c/orig.mp4?Expires=1774781394&Signature=QDePCUhL6s24mUFokJVWJVFjqHFVErOqWEtrslP49nfQBgsyDZA8WJJk3-8aEjhMRcN3sQN4ofQBioWzkbyAM8KdZykNbWHw8mBD4hPqlySEyfTASu2JzXuzxjZtd2UP3jRAsW8BUyiAwdHaIM8-Pp581e1FVO75cnbRyybfqMNLpnBSRY~VWuoa~hN3GyrsIGNA30ubU3ftoRd-F3dGt3wk1BdTURHwW~S6H2scEvE~K4lc0Cu~fgqM-Yxx0~zKEJUCqeMT1gpOkTgmtTrj1UHjCxC~qsXQYaxzvrSIkzYru~T-VQR0IFW~fYg9d7-As8HVBdn341IiEL1K90g5~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Valerius City School Board on Sept. 3 approved the appointment of multiple staff, supplemental contracts for mentor teachers, athletic supplemental contracts and game/event workers for the 2025–26 school year, set classified substitute compensation rates and accepted the resignation of a long-time classified employee.

Superintendent Anne Slosch summarized the personnel packet, noting the district is still hiring tutors, long-term substitutes and daily substitutes and that Human Resources is \"on top of it.\" She asked the board \"to approve the appointment of the following staff below...to approve the supplemental contracts for all our new RESA mentor teachers...to approve the following OHSA tournament game workers for athletics in 20 five-twenty 6...to approve the following district and non district workers for the athletic events...to approve the following for payment to work rental events in 2526, for administration at the hourly rate that's paid by the rental group, not us...to approve the following athletic supplemental contracts...to approve the following classified substitute compensation rates...and to approve the appointment of classified staff as described below.\"

She also announced and the board accepted the resignation of Tara Harris and noted an unpaid leave of absence for another classified staff member. \"Tara Harris has been here a long time, and, she has found a new job and is leaving, but I do wanna wish her well. She's been a great employee,\" Slosch said.

The board approved the full personnel slate by roll call.

Why it matters: the actions fill day-to-day operational staffing needs for instruction and athletics and set compensation and contract terms for event workers and substitutes. The district emphasized ongoing recruitment needs.","The Valerius City School Board on Sept. 3 approved multiple personnel appointments and supplemental contracts for the 2025–26 school year, established compensation rates for classified substitutes, and accepted the resignation of classified staff member Tara Harris.",{"_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},6476862,"Board approves superintendent action items including ombudsman contract, transportation declaration and Special Olympics contract",39,206000,245000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5716559-7d2018a651e6ce929856e81bcd8d67f9&start=206&end=245","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5716559-7d2018a651e6ce929856e81bcd8d67f9/thumbnail_206000.jpg","/articles/6476862/Ohio/Board-approves-superintendent-action-items-including-ombudsman-contract-transportation-declaration-and-Special-Olympics-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476862-45c2d1fd7a46d5fd946851fdca47b6f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1774781394&Signature=ocrzqQjAITf~eybkZvgwq9eWTLrAfLvcB4PW3ihR-A-05ZRUgrPr30wn6hYhiIlwZ7LPMffO6Tx8PnFJAxXFwX8erji85zJ1v7iuIm-OCJG~PRqfhOrKGIVg2N-hZKNp~PwNxQJy3vFJvZ8~jlSZTLmXjRLD0pw-6OF5apke59MYYG27cbu0DLMWCjUSP5LvNBQ8iNdZ4C-wfJDpK5RmxR17l4MUjl1WWss7cP6vZimZsHa9Ig0qsfUTow3xl67QzulpZ~b1ICB0ekOvpvPr5e3c5mAtZhfUIbUK1lTKfp4LQF9hmXqL0UiJ4nZroYo0GQfN6phIYjVnFO3yjtx29A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Valerius City School Board on Sept. 3 approved multiple superintendent action items, including a declaration of the impracticality of providing transportation for specified families, an amended contract for K–3 ombudsman services, payment for certified staff who attended CPI training, and a contract for a Special Olympics secretary/treasurer for the 2025–26 school year.

Superintendent Anne Slosch asked the board \"to declare the impracticality of providing transportation to the following families, the respective schools. Also, to approve the amended contract for ombudsman k through 3. You may see that on reoccurring as new students, have contracts for that service. Also, to approve the payment for certified staff that attended CPI training.\" She then asked the board to \"approve the contract for Special Olympics secretary treasurer for the 25 26 school year as detailed in enclosure j 4.\"

The board voted by roll call and approved the superintendent items unanimously.

What it means: the transportation declaration applies to specific families and schools described in the superintendent’s enclosure but the transcript did not list the families or schools. The amended ombudsman contract and Special Olympics contract were approved as submitted; the transcript references an enclosure (J4) for details. Payment for CPI training was approved for certified staff who attended that training.

Board members directed no additional immediate actions besides placing the items on the consent agenda and approving them.","The Valerius City School Board approved superintendent-recommended items on Sept. 3: a declaration of impracticality for transportation for unspecified families, an amended K–3 ombudsman contract, payment for certified staff CPI training, and a contract for Special Olympics secretary/treasurer for 2025–26.",{"_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},6476867,"Valerius City School Board approves treasurer items; schedules five-year forecast and notes levy issue number",84,116000,200000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5716559-7d2018a651e6ce929856e81bcd8d67f9&start=116&end=200","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5716559-7d2018a651e6ce929856e81bcd8d67f9/thumbnail_116000.jpg","/articles/6476867/Ohio/Valerius-City-School-Board-approves-treasurer-items-schedules-five-year-forecast-and-notes-levy-issue-number","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476867-1b0aa8b3eaac9d47e1d735721eaa74bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1774781394&Signature=o0D4WdHhywyhfJ0MV4q0UWjXiWmfC~Yfhh0EuTmOwI9uJ-2LZUiKjBPZBHojifdKj8lGcd5HQ7Q4RzPTSKGoohNgfYMkxhU-y4fmLONlqn0I0FvW62scIjrZhf85tdfLrJfkGdtPGPyngPt~o2mk6YsnOX4GLvPsw6-~A6YOzWWw5PYHYaVTFhV91-b15HdMVOUPa5AABhR0wNCkp3rWXazczpux5y-j1te5hgXw~Vzyu1u~MwOcC-yHSP5C0s6vxUkrLYiCULEA3Gk0AkvUOJUYCUQbjyt1D0FY9Zy3rtxI76VwlUqSmdewwbGJrM7nnkDseLEDbp20rF1rggabPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Valerius City School Board on Sept. 3 approved treasurer-recommended items including student activity purpose statements, startup cash for fiscal year 2026 and acknowledgement of several donations.

Treasurer Colleen Abholt asked the board to \"approve the student activity purpose statements for the district as detailed below, to approve the startup cash for a $125 for the PAC and $300 for the treasurer's office for fiscal year 26, And to acknowledge and express appreciation for the following donations from the House of Healing, the Nordson Foundation, Community Faith, Ridge Tools, and Gregory Trucking.\" The board voted and the motion carried.

The treasurer also said the district will present a five-year forecast at the next board meeting on Sept. 17 and noted that Elyria City was assigned levy issue number 17. \"Elyria received this issue number and we're issued 17 for the levy,\" she said. The treasurer said the five-year forecast will be put on for approval because it is due in October for the current calendar year budget changes announced by the governor.

Board President Elaine Seguin called the roll for the treasurer items and the vote was unanimous among members present.

Why it matters: startup cash and approved student-activity statements set routine fiscal operations for clubs and activities; the five-year forecast is the district's primary tool for planning against projected revenues and expenditures. The levy issue number was noted by the treasurer as an administrative step related to levy processing.

The board had no presentations and moved on to superintendent and personnel items after approving the treasurer recommendations.","The Valerius City School Board on Sept. 3 approved treasurer recommendations including student activity purpose statements, startup cash for fiscal year 2026 and several donations. The board scheduled a five-year forecast presentation for Sept. 17 and noted the district received levy issue number 17 for Elyria City.","actionData","errors"]
