The Parma City School District board approved multiple procurement resolutions to install a chiller at Normandy High School, a long-jump runway at Valley Forge, and a concrete walkway at Shiloh Middle School, and also approved five overnight field trips for spring 2026.
During the Feb. 12 regular meeting, the Parma City School District Board of Education approved routine business resolutions covering facilities work and curriculum-related travel.
The board adopted Resolution 2026-02-53 to award a contract under a cooperative purchasing program to install a chiller at Normandy High School. It then approved Resolution 2026-02-54 to install a long-jump runway and pit at Valley Forge High School, and Resolution 2026-02-55 to construct a concrete athletic-field walkway at Shiloh Middle School. Each resolution was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
