Summary
The school board voted July 9 to accept Superintendent Randy Meyer’s resignation effective July 31 to allow him to retire and be rehired under a five‑year contract running Aug. 2, 2025–July 31, 2030; the reemployment vote was unanimous.
The Olentangy Local School District Board of Education on July 9 accepted Superintendent Mister Meyer’s resignation for the purposes of retirement effective July 31 and immediately approved his reemployment under a five‑year contract beginning Aug. 2, 2025 and ending July 31, 2030.
Board members framed the action as a standard "retire‑rehire" arrangement some districts use. The board president said the change would create only a brief administrative break and that the district considered the plan at prior meetings before placing it on the July 9 agenda for final votes.
After the motion to accept Mister Meyer’s resignation passed in roll-call vote, the board voted to reemploy him under the five-year contract. The vote on reemployment was recorded as unanimous: Doctor Wallach, Mister O’Brien, Miss Schreiber, Mister Lester and Doctor Dabrico all voted yes.
Mister Meyer addressed the board after the vote, saying he appreciates the board’s confidence and is committed to continuing in the district. "There is no place I'd rather be," he said, adding he is "committed to continue to work with the district leadership team and the entire staff to continue to do great things in Olentangy." (First reference to speaker uses full name and title as recorded in the meeting.)
The board then moved into executive session later in the meeting under Ohio Rev. Code §121.22(g)(1) to discuss the employment or compensation of a public employee; the board said it would not return to take further action beyond adjournment.
