The Ashland City Schools Board of Education on Jan. 23 approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with OAPSC and passed routine treasurer and superintendent consent calendars. The board also voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel and bargaining matters.

Superintendent Mr. Paramore described the MOU with OAPSC as a move to create “some consistency with our secretarial positions,” including bringing some secretaries onto the executive-secretary wage level and adding a requirement that the transportation secretary hold a commercial driver’s license. “This allowed us to move that to that and also put a requirement on our transportation secretary to have a bus CDL, which has been very, very crucial,” Paramore said.

Paramore also named several employees whose retirements the board approved earlier in the meeting and thanked them by name: Karen Ebert (music), Jill Lambert (SGI at Taft), Caroline Robertson (8th-grade math), Kim Rogers (business learning/internship coordinator), Trudy Tilton (librarian/STEM), Amy Valentine (6th-grade math) and John Walter (assistant principal at the high school).

Board members moved and seconded the routine consent calendars and the MOU. The treasurer’s consent calendar was moved by Mr. Hart and seconded by Mrs. Mowery; the superintendent’s consent calendar was moved by Mrs. Deppert and seconded by Mrs. Mowery. The MOU with OAPSC was moved by Mrs. Deppert and seconded by Mr. Hart. On roll-call votes recorded by district staff, the measures passed unanimously (5–0).

After the votes the board moved into executive session for matters related to personnel, collective-bargaining negotiations and matters required to be kept confidential by law; members said there would be no further action following the executive session.
