At its Dec. 16 meeting the North Ridgeville City Schools Board of Education approved several routine finance and personnel items and took a governance action naming a president pro tem for the district's January organizational meeting.
Finance: Miss McCarthy presented a proposal to establish the Edward Tadako Nursing Scholarship Fund with a $50,000 donation to provide annual scholarships to North Ridgeville High School students pursuing nursing careers. The board also reviewed financial statements for November 2025 and approved a transfer of $162,027 from the permanent permit fund to the classroom facilities maintenance fund to satisfy OFCC maintenance fund requirements.
Human resources and agenda changes: The board moved to amend the agenda to remove item 5 under "other business" and add the resignation of Mary Anne Papp, listed as a paraprofessional at the North Regional Economic Center, effective 12/06/2025. The human-resources report — which the presenter summarized as including two support-staff appointments, three support-staff substitute contracts, four certified staff adjustments, two certified leaves of absence, one support-staff leave of absence and three support-staff separations — was approved in one reading.
Governance: The board solicited nominations for President Pro Tem for the Jan. 13, 2026 organizational meeting and appointed Miss McCarthy; the roll call recorded Missus McCarthy as 'abstain' for that vote as recorded in the transcript.
Procedural notes and votes: The board also moved into executive session earlier in the evening to discuss personnel matters and negotiations. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn was approved.
All actions described above are taken from motions and roll-call confirmations recorded in the meeting transcript; vote tallies are recorded in the transcript at the time of each motion.
