Summary
Administration updated the Tallmadge Board about recent facility repairs and safety work, PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) recognitions for schools, athletics achievements and a migration of special‑education documentation to the Samegoal platform with translation features and a migration window through the winter break.
District administrators used the Nov. 19 meeting to highlight maintenance and program work across Tallmadge schools, including safety‑driven removal of deteriorated bleachers, near‑completion of baseball scoreboard supports, recognition under PBIS and a multi‑month migration to a new special‑education documentation system.
Facilities staff reported that contractor Glenn Butcher removed unsafe bleachers at a cost substantially below early estimates and that maintenance crews are preparing fields and equipment for winter and spring use. "It was less than $14,000," a board member remarked comparing the actual cost to earlier quotes.
Administrators recognized Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) awards: Tallmadge High School and Tallmadge Middle School were named bronze recipients by the state, while Tallmadge Elementary received a silver recognition. The administration also congratulated student performers and volunteers for a recent theater production.
On special education and records systems, administrators described the district's migration from the prior ProgressBook special‑services tool to Samegoal (accessed via a MiniOrange single sign‑on). Training occurred Oct. 13, staff have until the December/Christmas break window to migrate documentation, and full implementation is planned for the 2026–27 school year. Samegoal will host IEPs, ETRs, 504 plans and MTSS documentation, and offers translation functionality for families that need it.
Administrators said these updates will continue to be discussed in the immediate work session following the board meeting.
