Board approves August financials, insurance renewals and multiple service contracts
Summary
At the Sept. 10 meeting the New Philadelphia City Schools board approved the district’s August financial reports and a set of contracts and renewals, including an energy supply agreement, flood insurance, special-education services contracts and an insurance installment.
The New Philadelphia City Schools board on Sept. 10 approved the district’s August financial reports and a set of contracts and invoices during its treasurer’s report.
Julie (Treasurer) told the board that “all balances are in balance” for August and asked for approval of agenda items including contracts, service agreements and insurance renewals. The board approved the motion by roll call.
Items described during the treasurer’s report included: a master electric supply agreement with FreePoint Energy Solutions/Titan Energy Consortium for 48 months at a rate stated as 0.0629 per kilowatt-hour; a flood insurance renewal with Assurant listed at $9,018; a Kennedy Insurance Agency invoice listed in the agenda at $83,004.29 (transcript contains an extra trailing figure after the cents); a proposal for CO devices at the Quaker Dome with Johnson Controls; an agreement with Stark County Educational Service Center for Title III coordinator services listed at $3,000; and contracts for special-education services noted as “impact through Sandcastle” for five students. The treasurer also presented a retroactive inventory policy effective 05/12/2025.
Board members asked a clarifying question about the flood insurance term; Julie confirmed the flood insurance is annual and covers the Quaker Dome. The board approved the listed items by roll call (yes votes recorded for Mister McMath, Miss Fontana, Mister Gallantyne, Missus Schrock and Mister Rickwick). No motions were recorded with full speaker attribution in the transcript; the agenda motion was handled by a member saying “So moved” and a second followed.
The approvals will allow district staff to proceed with the listed contracts, renewals and the inventory policy as presented. The transcript did not indicate any follow-up reporting schedule for these items.
