The Madison Local School District Board of Education on March 19 voted to certify tax levies, accept financial statements, approve multiple personnel contracts and accept a series of donations and agreements, among other routine and consent items.
The board approved a resolution accepting the amounts and rates as determined by the budget commission and authorized the necessary tax levies to be certified to the county auditor. The treasurer reported the breakdown as: general fund outside voted 49.29 mills; inside 4.85 mills; emergency levy 1.13 mills; permanent improvement levy 1 mill; debt service 2.14 mills; classroom facilities 0.5 mills, for a total millage of 54.06.
The board also approved the financial statements for February 2025. The treasurer reported reconciled bank and book balances of $12,080,184.24 on Feb. 28, 2025, after outstanding accounts-payable checks of $187,201.97 and outstanding payroll checks of $23,834.90.
On personnel actions the board accepted resignations and retirements, approved supplemental and personal-service contracts, and approved several administrative contracts, including a three-year administrator contract to employ David Bull as assistant superintendent effective Aug. 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028, and a three-year administrator contract for Jen Bridal as director of pupil services for the same period. The board also approved Andrea Kirby under a limited contract as superintendent secretary effective March 31, 2025.
The board accepted a slate of donations listed in the meeting, including multiple small gifts to elementary schools and middle school Washington, D.C., trip sponsorships, and a donation identified in the minutes as coming from the American Legion Post 601 with a disbursal schedule enumerated in the agenda packet. The donations item and other consent items were approved as presented.
Other actions on the consent calendar included authorization to seek school bus bids through the Ohio Schools Council (the resolution authorizes participation in the council bid process but does not by itself commit to purchases), approval of agreements on file in the board office with JAN-PRO, the Impact Group and Western Governors University, and a PIXELOT addendum for a five-year extension at a $500 cost to add an additional PIXELOT system.
The board also approved a then-and-now certificate related to a Bureau of Workers' Compensation annual true-up payment in the amount of $4,343, and passed a resolution authorizing an agreement for the district's electric supply through the school-buying consortium described by staff.
Finally, the board voted to move into executive session for the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion or compensation of public employees.
