CPS board approves Jan. 22 agenda and consent items; recesses to executive session
Summary
The Cincinnati Public Schools Board approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda as posted, recorded several assignment requests and recessed into executive session for employment of a public official; a member registered abstentions on specific consent items.
The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education approved the Jan. 22 meeting agenda and passed the consent agenda before recessing into executive session.
President Moffitt called the meeting to order and Treasurer Wagner called the attendance roll. The board voted to approve the agenda “as posted.” The roll call for approval of the agenda returned all affirmative votes: Mr. Craig — yes; Miss Mapp — yes; Mrs. Weinberg — yes; Vice President Bolton — yes; President Moffitt — yes.
Later in the meeting, the board approved the consent agenda with the changes discussed on the record. Board member Matt announced he would abstain from several consent items: minutes from the Dec. 9 business meeting (pages 11‑81 through 11‑86) and specified appointment and treasurer report line items listed in his exception. Another consent adjustment changed the Ohio School Boards Association trustee name to Dr. Moffitt (noted on the record). Treasurer Wagner called the roll on the consent agenda; the board approved it with the noted exceptions.
Before adjourning the public session, a motion was made and seconded to recess into executive session “for the purpose of employment of a public official.” The motion passed on a roll‑call vote: Mr. Craig — yes; Miss Mapp — yes; Mrs. Weinberg — yes; Vice President Bolton — yes; President Moffitt — yes. The chair stated the board would not return to public session after the executive session.
Board assignments recorded during the meeting included requests for school‑by‑school CCP and CTE credential/pass‑rate data, demographics of preschool‑age children in the district, and updated capacities for schools tied to programming.
