Votes at a glance: Revere board approves consent items, personnel changes, contracts, facility work and course additions
Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Revere Local School District Board of Education approved consent agenda items including minutes, financial reports, personnel actions, and a series of individual motions covering a transportation/vehicle storage resolution, facility repairs, contracts, scholarships and course approvals.
The Revere Local School District Board of Education took multiple formal actions at its Jan. 21 meeting. The board used consent motions for routine personnel and business items and voted separately on several contracts, facility repairs, a vehicle-storage resolution, a scholarship allocation and course approvals.
Key votes - Consent agenda (items 1a–2d): The board approved minutes from December meetings, the financial report, purchase orders, donations (including $2,166.14 from the Revere Players and Booster Club for auditorium microphones and a $2,500 anonymous donation to the baseball program), asset deletions and personnel recommendations across certified and classified staff. Recorded roll-call votes listed multiple board members as voting "yes" and the motion passed.
- Section 3 (items 3a–3b): The board approved a home-instructor placement for a high-school student and a contract for an outside provider to provide student support (details in agenda). Motion passed on roll-call.
- 4a — Third-grade paper testing resolution: Approved. (See separate article for details.)
- 4b — Agreement with Northeast Ohio Educational Service Center: Approved. The contract will provide professional development, teacher coaching and contracted services. Recorded roll call included board members voting yes.
- 4c — Roof repair for Richmond Elementary (Industrial First): Approved. Scope included work on the kindergarten-wing roof areas labeled A–D and replacement of seven roof drains at $6,000 each. Funding source: Permanent Improvement Fund. Motion passed on roll call.
- 4d — Vehicle storage and off-site use resolution: Approved. The board authorized limited use and off-site storage of an existing district 4-wheel-drive vehicle for transportation/route checks in inclement weather; district confirmed with CyberTech Insurance Agency that coverage applies while stored at an employee’s home. The board specified the vehicle must be returned to district property on work days and remains available for staff use.
- 4e — Acceptance and allocation of a BASA global leadership scholarship: Approved. The district accepted and allocated a scholarship that will fund a staff participant’s travel to a global leadership program (no district cost for the scholarship). The board accepted the award so the district — not the individual — receives the funds for tax and accounting purposes.
- 4f — Second reading and approval of two new Revere High School courses: Approved. The board approved "Art Connections," a course intended to bring students of differing learning needs together around art elements, and "ELA Plus," a 9–10 course mirroring existing "Math Plus" supports.
