The Revere Board of Education took several routine and policy actions at its Nov. 18 meeting.
Consent and personnel: The board moved multiple consent agenda items, consolidating Roman numeral 8, items 1–5 into a single action and approving Roman numeral 9 items (personnel changes including the retirement resignation of Jed McKnight, leaves of absence, and a correction to Kevin Verdi’s assignment). Motions were made and seconded and roll call votes were recorded in favor.
Nutrition compliance policy: The board approved the district’s annual nutritional compliance policy required by the Ohio Department of Education. The motion was made, seconded and passed by roll call without recorded opposition.
Volunteer background checks: On second and final reading the board adopted a policy requiring criminal background checks for volunteers every 36 months (three years). Board members clarified the requirement applies to volunteers who will be present with students (classroom volunteers), not to spectators at events. Administrators confirmed the policy takes effect immediately and will prompt the district to audit current volunteer records and notify those who need updated checks; administrators retain the authority to require checks more frequently if new information arises.
Adjournment: The meeting concluded with routine scheduling announcements for December and a motion to adjourn, which passed by roll call.
