The Tallmadge Board of Education approved a set of fiscal and routine actions at its Aug. 20 meeting, including the district's year-end financial reports, final amended appropriations for fiscal year 2025 and a package of personnel appointments and routine handbooks.
Board members voted to adopt the minutes of the July 2025 meetings, accepted financial reports for June and July 2025, and approved final amended appropriations for fiscal year 2025. Treasurer's remarks during the meeting noted the general fund balance at the end of the fiscal year: "we forecast at a 3,300,000.0 general fund balance, and it came in at 3,300,000.0," a board presenter said.

Several approvals were routine and passed with little discussion. The board took the votes in order after staff presentations explaining year-end adjustments, personnel hires and program details. The Camp Fitch trip prompted a brief recusal/abstention from one board member who said their child was in sixth grade.
The board was briefed that next steps include conversion to GAAP accounting for the audit process and the district's upcoming fiscal-year 2026 appropriation process, which will be presented at a later meeting and must meet statutory deadlines.
The board did not take any votes that were reported as defeated or tabled during the meeting.
