The Mentor Exempted Village Board of Education recorded several formal roll‑call actions at its May 29 special meeting. Below are the items taken and the vote outcomes recorded in the meeting transcript.
Votes at a glance
- Consent agenda (agenda item reference and several personnel/supplemental renewals): Roll call recorded multiple “Yes” votes and the motion was recorded as passed (transcript shows affirmative roll calls). No separate public debate on the consent package was held at length in the transcript.
- Motion to postpone acceptance of the negotiated MTA (teacher) agreement until after the state budget is finalized: A board member moved to postpone and a second was recorded. Roll‑call votes on the motion to postpone were mixed; the motion to postpone passed in that roll‑call recorded as "Motion to postpone postpone to 2 to 3" in the minutes. (Transcript: a motion to postpone was made and roll‑call votes showed both yes and no votes.)
- Acceptance of the negotiated agreement with Mentor classified employees (MCE): The board voted to accept the negotiated agreement with Mentor classified employees. Roll call: "Miss Jessie? Yes. Miss Marchesa? Yes. Miss Ayepla? No. Miss Paige? No. Miss Cook? Yes." The transcript records the motion as carried 3–2.
- Administrative staff recommendations (personnel actions listed under administrative recommendations): Motion and second recorded; roll call recorded unanimous support and the motion carried (documented as motion carries 5‑0).
- May update to the five‑year forecast: The board approved the CFO’s May update to the five‑year forecast. The motion and second were recorded and the roll call was unanimous: "Motion carries 5 0."
- Executive session and adjournment: The board moved to convene an executive session to consider employment/compensation and bargaining (Ohio Rev. Code divisions (G)(1) and (4) cited in the agenda). The board then went into executive session and adjourned; votes to convene and to adjourn were recorded.
Notes on the record and next steps
- Several roll‑call names appear in the transcript in slightly varying spellings; this summary uses the names as recorded in the roll‑call lines. - Where the transcript shows a motion but does not list each roll‑call name consistently, this summary indicates the recorded tally and quotes the roll call lines that appear in the transcript. - The superintendent and CFO gave explanatory briefings on items tied to the votes (the SRO contract negotiations and the five‑year forecast, respectively); the board did not take final votes on the SRO contract during this meeting.
Ending
The board completed its recorded votes and convened an executive session as listed on the agenda. Any final contract texts or ordinance language (for example, the SRO/city contract) will return to the board for formal action when contract language and legal review are complete.
