Board approves superintendent action items including ombudsman contract, transportation declaration and Special Olympics contract

The Valerius City School Board on Sept. 3 approved multiple superintendent action items, including a declaration of the impracticality of providing transportation for specified families, an amended contract for K–3 ombudsman services, payment for certified staff who attended CPI training, and a contract for a Special Olympics secretary/treasurer for the 2025–26 school year.

Superintendent Anne Slosch asked the board "to declare the impracticality of providing transportation to the following families, the respective schools. Also, to approve the amended contract for ombudsman k through 3. You may see that on reoccurring as new students, have contracts for that service. Also, to approve the payment for certified staff that attended CPI training." She then asked the board to "approve the contract for Special Olympics secretary treasurer for the 25 26 school year as detailed in enclosure j 4."

The board voted by roll call and approved the superintendent items unanimously.

What it means: the transportation declaration applies to specific families and schools described in the superintendent’s enclosure but the transcript did not list the families or schools. The amended ombudsman contract and Special Olympics contract were approved as submitted; the transcript references an enclosure (J4) for details. Payment for CPI training was approved for certified staff who attended that training.

Board members directed no additional immediate actions besides placing the items on the consent agenda and approving them.
