At its meeting the Canal Winchester Local School District board took several formal actions:

Consent agenda — approved
The board approved the consent agenda, which included minutes for prior meetings; four donations (including a $20,000 gift to the Sol Monterer scholarship fund and a $100 donation from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories); certified and classified personnel items (retirements, resignations, recommended hires); supplemental personnel and stipends; and an overnight OMUN field trip to downtown Columbus Dec. 7–9.

TIF resolution — approved
The board approved a resolution consenting to a Fairfield County tax-increment financing (TIF) exemption and to enter a related school-district compensation agreement with the Fairfield County Board of Commissioners. Board discussion focused on whether listed parcels would reduce school property-tax receipts; administration said the district expects to receive its school share through the county’s compensation mechanism.

School calendar (final reading) — adopted
The board adopted the 2025–26 school calendar in final reading. The calendar sets new-staff workdays in early August and an August 13 first student day, a one-day fall break (Sept. 16), two weeks at Christmas/New Year’s, and a May 27 last day for students.

Executive session — approved
The board voted to enter executive session to consider employment and performance of public employees and complaints involving a public official; no further public action was announced at adjournment.

Policy under review
A proposed anonymous-complaint policy remains under first reading after extended debate. One board member argued the draft would bar action even when anonymous reports are verified; others urged rewording (changing binding "shall" language to allow review when corroboration exists) and recommended adding a board-review step for anonymous complaints about staff.

Votes and records
The meeting’s minutes record motions, seconds and voice votes for the consent agenda, the TIF resolution and the calendar adoption. The transcript records affirmative voice votes for each action and a roll-call vote entering executive session. The transcript does not provide a complete, unambiguous roll-call name-by-name tally for each motion; official minutes should be consulted for the certified vote record.
