Summary
At the Jan. 6, 2025 organizational meeting, the Perrysburg Board of Education elected Susan Roland Miller as board president and Eric Bennington as vice president, adopted a meeting calendar and voted to set regular board meetings for 5:45 p.m.; the board also approved committee assignments and a consent agenda.
The Perrysburg Exempted Village School District Board of Education elected Susan Roland Miller as board president and Eric Bennington as vice president during its Jan. 6, 2025 organizational meeting at the Commodore Building.
The board completed roll-call votes for the officers after nominations. The roll-call vote for board president was recorded as: Eric Bennington, yes; Ms. Larimer, yes; Ms. Minkie, yes; Dr. Reffert, yes; Susan Roland Miller, yes. After that result the board held the vice-presidential vote and elected Eric Bennington by roll call with the same recorded yes votes.
Trustees debated the recurring start time for regular board meetings. A motion to move regular meetings to 6 p.m. failed on a roll-call vote; the board then adopted a compromise amendment setting regular meetings at 5:45 p.m. on the third Monday of each month. The board approved the proposed 2025 meeting calendar, work-session schedule and related items grouped as agenda items 5.1 through 5.7 by roll call. The consent agenda was later approved without additional discussion.
Board leadership discussed committee structure and committee assignments. The board is adjusting committee names and responsibilities to align with its strategic priorities: the communications function was reframed toward a community engagement emphasis; the teaching-and-learning committee was described as now focused on student achievement; the finance committee remains a standing committee; policy work was described as planned to move to ad hoc review when needed. During debate a trustee proposed moving the operations group from a superintendent-appointed committee to a standing board committee; the proposal was discussed but the transcript does not show a final vote on that specific amendment.
Other organizational housekeeping approved at the meeting included the board retreat and a standing schedule of work sessions. The board thanked outgoing leadership and welcomed the new officers.
