Board approves consent agenda including personnel changes, field trips, technology RFPs and donations (5-0)
Summary
By unanimous roll call, the West Clermont Local School Board approved the consent agenda covering retirements, hires, overnight field trips, RFPs for technology, donations and minutes.
The West Clermont Local School Board unanimously approved the meeting’s consent agenda on Feb. 3, recording a 5‑0 roll call vote by Mister Rudy, Mister Chumley, Miss Sanborn, Missus Spencer and Mister Patton.
The consent agenda (items 7.01–7.08) bundled multiple routine and operational items: personnel recommendations (including retirements of Lisa Hughes, fourth grade teacher at Merwin Elementary, and Yvonne Cole, a cafeteria worker, plus resignations and a proposed second‑shift custodian hire), approval of supplemental contracts and unpaid leaves, and authorization for the superintendent/treasurer to negotiate and execute contracts listed in the agenda (including an OSBA board handbook resource and a contract with Paradigm).
Also approved under consent were two overnight high‑school field trips: West Clermont High School’s Alpha Group to the International Championship of High School A Cappella at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland (departing Feb. 28 and returning Feb. 29, 2025) and the West Clermont High School DECA team to the Ohio Career Development Conference in Columbus (March 11–12, 2025). Board discussion noted that the DECA trip costs are covered through Great Oaks and the a cappella group’s fees cover their trip.
The board also authorized release of requests for proposals (RFPs) to upgrade district technology, including replacement Chromebooks on the district’s four‑year rotation (grades 1, 5 and 9) and wireless network replacements reaching end of life. A package of community donations for student needs (gift cards, food, clothing and holiday donations to multiple schools and families) was approved as presented. The board approved minutes for Jan. 11, 2025 (organizational meeting) and Jan. 13, 2025 (regular business meeting).
