Twinsburg board unanimously approves financial reports, personnel items, energy contract and revised special-education policies
Summary
At its March 5 meeting the Twinsburg Board of Education voted 5-0 to approve January financial reports and expenditures, accept personnel recommendations, authorize an electricity supply agreement, and adopt modified 2024 special-education model policies; the board approved other routine consent items in the same vote.
The Twinsburg Board of Education on March 5 unanimously approved a package of routine financial, personnel and policy measures, including the district's January financial reports and disbursements, personnel contracts, a master electric energy sales agreement and the board's adoption of modified 2024 special-education model policies.
The measures were approved on separate agenda motions and roll-call votes or as grouped consent items; votes on each motion recorded five yes votes and no dissent. The actions will allow the district to submit required certifications to the county and to proceed with vendor and contract steps described in the agenda packet.
Board members approved the treasurer's report and related bank-reconciliation, cash-summary and investments materials and authorized the treasurer to certify levy amounts to Summit County. The board also accepted certified and classified personnel recommendations and supplement contracts contingent on satisfactory Ohio Revised Code background checks.
The board adopted the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce's 2024 Special Education Model Policies and Procedures with explicit deletions and modifications identified in the board resolution. The resolution lists specific sentences removed or revised (for example, language on destruction of educational records, independent educational evaluations and other model-policy sentences the board said conflicted with state and federal law). The board directed staff to upload the modified policies to the department's monitoring system by March 30, 2025.
On a separate resolution the board authorized execution of a master electric energy sales agreement through the Power for Schools cooperative endorsement with Angie Resources LLC to supply generation services to district facilities, and it appropriated funds to cover amounts due under the agreement for the current fiscal year.
