Warren City board approves minutes, moves August meeting to Harding and accepts $2,000 donation for school pantries

The Warren City School District board on July 15 approved routine business items including the June 2025 board meeting minutes, a change of location for the Aug. 5 regular meeting, and acceptance of a $2,000 donation to support pre‑K–8 school pantries.

The board voted to change the location of the Aug. 5, 2025, regular board meeting from the Administration Building to Warren G. Harding High School (cafetorium) to accommodate a summer commencement ceremony for students who missed the May ceremony, staff said. The superintendent had earlier told the board the meeting move was on the agenda for that reason.

On gifts, the board accepted a $2,000 monetary donation from Saint Teresa of Calcutta Parish. The donation was described in the meeting as designated to benefit pre‑K–8 pantries at Jefferson, Lincoln, Bugatti and Willard schools.
