Summary

Roll calls were recorded for each motion; the board also acknowledged multiple community donations.
The Stow-Munroe Falls City School District Board of Education on Oct. 20 approved the superintendent's consent agenda and several separate motions, including personnel recommendations, a facilities contract for HVAC services and two extended student field trips.
Superintendent Doug (Doug) Gould moved the consent agenda covering items b through f; the motion passed on a roll-call vote. The board publicly thanked multiple community donors, including Outrain Incorporated, Bain Enterprises, Cardinal Asphalt Clear Fiber Foundation and others for recent contributions.
The board then approved a set of personnel recommendations after a separate motion and roll-call vote. The agenda later included a contract with Gardner Service Company for HVAC services; Dr. Gould said Gardner was identified as the best provider to "ensure safe, efficient, and comfortable learning environments" and to reduce costs, and the board approved the contract. Dr. Gould said an estimate of the anticipated cost reduction would be provided to the board later.
The board also approved two extended field trips: a high school student council trip (self-funded) and district-funded travel for boys and girls cross country because the teams qualified for the event. The administration said the district would pay for cross-country travel tied to qualification; the student council trip is being paid by students/families.
A motion to enter executive session under ORC 121.22(G)(1) to consider the employment of a public employee or official was approved later in the meeting; the board announced no action would be taken following executive session.
