Summary
At its Nov. 24 meeting the Nordonia Hills City Board of Education approved consent items and amended appropriations and authorized two roof replacements and technology purchases aimed at cybersecurity and classroom connectivity.
The Nordonia Hills City Board of Education on Nov. 24 approved a slate of consent items, amended appropriations for fiscal year 2026 and contracts for facilities and technology upgrades.
Superintendent (unnamed in the transcript) asked the board to approve routine consent items including donations, retroactive recognition of cross-country athletes who advanced to state, transportation in‑lieu payments for a small number of private‑school students and a calendar planned two years ahead to aid family scheduling. The board moved and seconded the consent agenda and confirmed approval by roll call.
The board approved two prioritized roof projects recommended in the district’s five‑year facilities plan. Facilities staff said the auditorium roof is due for replacement and quoted a range of cost estimates, including about $450,000 (alternate figures of $400,000 and $330,000 were also referenced). A second project, “Lehi View section A,” was estimated at about $450,000. Staff said work will begin after school lets out and is expected to finish before the start of the next school year in August.
Board members also approved a five‑year amendment to the NeoNet service agreement to renew broadband services and to pass contracted savings through to the district, an information‑technology purchase from CDW•G for virtual‑server equipment intended to provide redundancy for cybersecurity, and a LEAP purchasing agreement to fund outside placement and daily intervention services for a special‑needs student as the student’s IEP team directed.
Finance staff presented an October fiscal update showing an unencumbered cash balance of about $17.7 million compared with $18.1 million a year earlier; encumbrances rose to about $7.3 million from $6.6 million. Staff said state revenues for categoricals were up, primarily for transportation and special education, and reminded the board that levy collections from May 2025 will appear in the 2026 receipts.
The board moved, seconded and voted to adopt the amended appropriations for fiscal year 2026 and to approve the consent agenda items. The chair announced the board will meet next on Dec. 15, 2025 at 7 p.m.
