Green Local Schools board approves routine business, curriculum guide and Lifetouch contract; moves to executive session

The Green Local Schools Board of Education took a series of routine approvals and business actions at its January meeting and then moved into executive session for personnel discussion.

Board members voted unanimously, 5–0, on the printed agenda and on approval of the Dec. 16, 2024 regular meeting minutes. The board also approved the district’s December 2024 financial statement and payment of bills and accepted a $500 donation from Bonski Heating and Cooling to support the Greene High School girls soccer tournament.

Under new business the board approved the consent calendar of routine personnel, trip and program items, and it approved the Greene High School curriculum guide for the 2025–26 school year. The board also approved a multi-year contract with Lifetouch for photography services through 2028.

At the meeting board members recognized retiring staff member Trudy Zimmerman and received a number of district announcements, including a student band trip to Orlando (Nov. 24–30, 2025), public tours of the current Greene Intermediate School on Jan. 20 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), and a Night at the Museum student art event on Jan. 30. After the business votes the board approved a motion to move into executive session to discuss personnel; no action was expected following that session.
