Summary
At its regular meeting, the Ravenna City Board voted to approve an amended tutoring MOU, a contract with Positive Education Program, payment-in-lieu transportation for two private schools, an overnight eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., and a broad personnel consent package.
The Ravenna City Board of Education approved several contracts, program agreements, an overnight field trip and a comprehensive personnel consent agenda.
The board approved an amended memorandum of understanding with Kent City Schools to continue tutoring services for Title I students attending St. Patrick's School. The board also voted to approve a contract with Positive Education Program (PEP) to provide educational and behavioral services for students with IEPs during the 2025-26 school year.
The board approved payment in lieu of transportation for students attending Chapel Hill Christian School and Valley Christian Academy as outlined on the agenda. Administrators confirmed the standard motion was for reimbursement in lieu of providing district transportation for those students.
An extended overnight Washington, D.C. field trip for eighth graders was approved; staff sponsors listed in the agenda were Mr. Dougherty and Mr. Fyle and the trip was scheduled for March 2026.

All items were approved by roll-call votes under separate motions or as part of consent agendas. The transcript does not record dissenting votes for these items.
