Summary
The board unanimously approved the treasurer—s monthly financial report (income tax receipts above projections, House Bill 96 performance supplement added about $155,000), accepted retirements and personnel hires, approved multiple contracts and gifts totaling more than $35,000, and authorized a resolution acknowledging OFCC design-phase review to保
At its November meeting the DuPont University Board of Education approved several routine but consequential governance items after staff presentations.
Treasurer's report: The treasurer reported that October income tax receipts exceeded projections by about $43,000 on a $995,000 projection and that year‑to‑date collections were roughly 8% higher than the prior year. A merged five‑year projection reflecting the upcoming tax rate change was presented; the treasurer advised that new dollars from the revised rate are not expected until April 2026. The treasurer also said House Bill 96 triggered a performance supplement of roughly $13 per student, yielding about $155,000 in additional state allocation for the district.
Personnel and operations: The superintendent recommended and the board approved certificated column movements for staff who advanced their education, accepted multiple retirements (Tammy; Dan; Amy Dimel; Jeff Nichols; Kimberly Stevens; Amy Estrada; Annette Tee; Anne Strobel), recommended supplemental and activity contracts (drama club advisors, tutors, bus driver trainees) and volunteer approvals contingent on background checks. The board approved interdistrict contracts to serve students with disabilities (Eastwood Local, Patrick Henry Local, Northwood Local), an MOU with the Be Better Foundation for mentoring and enrichment, and contracts with Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center for Liberty Educational Center services.
Gifts and funding steps: The board accepted gifts and donations totaling more than $35,000 from multiple donors, including the Bowling Green High School Athletic Boosters, local businesses and private individuals; presenters credited the Bowling Green Schools Foundation as fiscal agent for certain program funds. The superintendent also asked the board to approve a resolution acknowledging Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) design‑phase review comments — a procedural step needed to continue pursuing OFCC funds for the new high school — and the board voted in favor of that resolution.

Why it matters: The treasurer—s report signals stronger-than-expected revenue performance so far in the fiscal year and a one‑time/per‑student performance supplement under state legislation; approving the OFCC resolution preserves the district—s path to state construction funds for the new high school. Personnel and contract approvals enable program operations and services for students with special needs.
