Revere Local board approves organizational items, policies, authorizations and agreements

At its Jan. 13 organizational meeting, the Revere Local School District Board approved a set of routine organizational and consent items, including policy adoptions, standing financial authorizations, and appointments to the Ohio School Boards Association.

Key approvals taken by roll call included adoption of the district's revised bylaws and policies consistent with Ohio Revised Code 3313.2; standing authorizations that permit the treasurer to request tax advances, invest funds and pay invoices within appropriation limits; designation of outside counsel firms used by the district; appointment of OSBA liaison and backup; certification of district enrollment at 2,834 students and establishment of a $7,500 board service fund to pay incidental board expenses (distinct from board salaries); renewal of Ohio School Boards Association membership dues and the OSBA Legal Assistance Fund; and adoption of a consent packet that included co-curricular and athletic supplemental contracts, classified personnel actions, substitute listings and other typical personnel matters.

The board also accepted a Red Oak Behavioral Health agreement to replace Greenleaf for in-school family appointment coordination; superintendent staff said the service will not cost the district because families are charged directly and that services are expected to be available across buildings (confirmation to be provided). An MOU with Kent State University for College Credit Plus was presented as informational.

Why it matters: These organizational items set the administrative authorities, legal relationships and routine operating processes for the district in 2026. The service fund and enrollment certification determine budget and statutory compliance details.

What’s next: The board will review remaining informational items at next week's meeting and will confirm details (for example, which buildings Red Oak will serve).
