Summary

Following executive session, the board approved a settlement in Summit County Common Pleas case CV2025031400 and later approved a memorandum of understanding with the Akron Education Association; both votes were unanimous.

The Akron Board of Education approved a settlement agreement and release for Summit County Common Pleas Court case number CV2025031400 after reconvening from executive session Nov. 3.

The motion to approve the settlement was moved by Member Hall, seconded by Vice President Alexander, and passed by roll call 6–0, according to the clerk’s tally. The board did not discuss settlement terms in public beyond the motion; the vote followed the board’s stated reliance on Ohio Revised Code procedures for executive-session consultation with counsel.

Shortly after the settlement vote, the board also approved a memorandum of understanding between the Akron Board of Education and the Akron Education Association (item 28.2). That motion likewise passed by unanimous roll call.

Both actions were recorded immediately after executive session and appear intended to resolve pending litigation and complete bargaining-related work authorized in closed session. The board scheduled its next meeting for Nov. 24, 2025.
