The Lakewood Board of Education approved multiple routine and personnel items during its Dec. 1 meeting.
Key actions recorded in the transcript:
- Adoption of the meeting agenda: Motion moved and seconded; roll call taken by Treasurer Zeman with unanimous 'Aye' votes (motion carried).
- Consent agenda: Included routine approvals of minutes, contracts and the personnel items summarized in the earlier reports. The board moved, seconded and adopted the consent agenda by roll call (unanimous 'Aye').
- Personnel resolutions and memorandum of understanding (MOU): The board moved and approved a slate of certified and classified employment actions, non‑employee coach/adviser appointments, and a memorandum of understanding with the Lakewood Teachers Association that creates extra compensation for staff planning and accompanying field trips; motion moved, seconded and approved by voice vote ('Aye').
- Building sites/major purchases: The board received a report recommending a 42‑month managed print/document imaging agreement with Ohio Business Machines, Donnell and McCarthy Enterprises (total cost reported as $603,476.16 and $14,368.48 monthly). That item was presented as part of the building sites report and is reflected in the consent agenda approvals.
- Meeting schedule: The board set the date and time for the 2026 organizational meeting and the first regular meeting (Jan. 5, 2026) and appointed a president pro tempore for the organizational meeting; the motion passed on one reading with roll call.
All motions recorded in the transcript that were called to roll resulted in 'Aye' votes from members present; the transcript does not list any 'No' votes for these items.
