Summary
Trustees approved a lengthy consent calendar that included consultant contracts for athletics, special-education service agreements, a food-service sanitation agreement and insurance renewals: $155,965 for property/fleet/liability coverage and $12,250 for cyber insurance.
The Madison Local Board of Education approved a consent calendar June 30 covering consultant-service contracts for athletics, agreements for special-education services, a food-service sanitation contract and insurance renewals, including property and liability coverage and cyber insurance.
The board approved consultant and volunteer coaching contracts for Madison High School football off-season workouts and other athletics activities and accepted a donation to fund a volleyball consultant. The consent agenda also included agreements with outside education providers to serve students placed outside the district: Mentor Exempted Village School District CARES; Reeducation Services Inc.; Booker Prince Center for Autism; and contracts with the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio for audiology/hearing-impairment services. The school nutrition department will enter a food-service sanitation agreement with Innovation Solutions Group for the 2025-26 school year.
On insurance, the board approved a one-year agreement with the Schools of Ohio Risk Sharing Authority, through Strausman Insurance Agency, for property, fleet and liability insurance for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, at a cost of $155,965. The board also approved a one-year cyber-security policy through Travelers Insurance for $12,250 for the same policy period.
Why it matters: the contracts secure services the district uses to operate athletics, special-education placements, student nutrition and risk management coverage for the coming year. The insurance renewals set annual premium obligations.
Discussion and outcome: a board member asked whether the risk-sharing authority shops rates; administration replied that the authority does market coverage. The consent calendar passed by roll call, with votes recorded as approved.
What's next: the administration will execute the vendor agreements and insurance policies and continue to monitor service delivery and coverage during the 2025-26 school year.
