Recorded roll call: Doctor Wallach — Yes; Mister O’Brien — Yes; Miss Schreiber — Yes; Mister Lester — Yes; Doctor Dabrico — Yes (note: vote recorded while Dr. Dabrico was present as a board member before being confirmed in the role by the board action).
Procedural notes - Several items were bundled as consent items and taken in single motions for efficiency; any trustee could have requested an item be pulled for separate discussion but none were pulled when the motions were called. - The board used Ohio Revised Code exceptions to go into executive session for negotiations (noted for the TIF item) and later returned to open session to vote.
Ending: Board minutes reflect unanimous approval on the items summarized above; administrators will complete follow‑up tasks (contract finalization, Chromebook lease execution, calendar publication) as part of implementation.
