West Geauga board approves routine business, contracts and staffing resolutions; approves $1 million transfer to capital fund
Summary
The West Geauga Local School District Board of Education approved a slate of routine resolutions including personnel actions, service contracts, a $1,000,000 transfer to the capital fund and several vendor contracts. The board also approved an addendum for adapted physical education services and a severance-incentive program.
The West Geauga Local School District Board of Education on April 30 approved a package of routine resolutions covering personnel moves, service contracts, technology purchases and a $1,000,000 transfer from the general fund to the capital fund.
The board approved resolutions numbered 108 through 136A on the meeting agenda, including approval of warrants, acceptance of donations, multiple hiring and resignation items, service contracts, and purchases. The board voted unanimously on recorded roll calls for each item.
Why it matters: The transfer to the capital fund and several construction- and facilities-related contracts are tied to ongoing capital projects outlined by district staff, including planned water-filtration work and site work for a new well. Several personnel actions will change staffing and administrative assignments ahead of the 2025–26 school year.
Key votes and outcomes (selected): - Resolution 108 — Approve routine matters: passed (roll call recorded in minutes). - Resolution 109 — Approve warrants for March 2025: passed. - Resolution 110 — Accept donations: passed. - Resolution 111 — Transfer $1,000,000 from the general fund to the capital fund (described as the board’s second transfer; additional transfer anticipated for the water filtration system): passed. - Resolution 112 — Accept administrative resignation (Melissa, leaving to join Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve): passed. - Certified staff appointment (single certified appointment for 2025–26 listed on the agenda, introduced and approved): passed. - Multiple resolutions (114–126) — Stipends, rehires, supplemental and service contracts, nonrenewals of long‑term substitutes, rehiring of classified staff, and unpaid days: all passed on voice/roll-call votes. - Resolution 131 — Approve Always Construction LLC proposal (construction of permanent driveway to new well site): passed after board questions about scope and sequencing. - Resolution 132 & 133 — Addendum and 2025–26 service request form with the Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve, including adapted physical‑education services: passed. - Resolution 135 — Approve quote from CDW Government LLC for Chromebooks (the board noted the purchase was completed before a price increase): passed. - Resolution 136A — Approve implementation of an EPC severance incentive program (EPC identified by staff as a consulting group used to calculate buyout/savings): passed.
Board members called the roll for each action and recorded affirmative votes; no failed motions were recorded on the agenda items presented. Where motions and seconds were spoken, the transcript records “So moved” and “Second” without consistently naming the mover/second on the record.
The board adjourned into executive session on personnel and legal matters after completing the open session votes; no action was taken following executive session.
Ending: The approvals set budget and staffing direction for the district ahead of the next school year and authorized contracts and project work that district staff said are necessary to advance capital projects and special services.
