Board unanimously approved several service contracts (speech therapists, ESC agreements, leadership coaching, child-focused services) and the personnel consent agenda; roll-call votes were recorded for each agreement.

The Sycamore Community City board approved a package of service agreements and personnel items during the meeting.

Contracts approved (motions moved, seconded and passed by roll call): Jan Mecklenburg (speech therapist services at Moeller); Butler County Educational Service Center; an independent-contractor agreement with Lisa Neubauer; Child Focus Incorporated; Lorain County Educational Service Center for behavior coaching and specialized-classroom continuity; Kathleen Mead (speech-language pathologist); a 2025–26 leadership-coaching agreement; and Comprehensive Concepts in Speech and Hearing, Inc. The personnel consent agenda was also approved without objection.

When presenters described the speech and behavior contracts, staff said these services are funded through IDEA grant dollars or other designated funding streams and will serve students who attend district schools (including out-of-district students who attend a district campus such as Moeller). For the Lorain County ESC contract, staff explained the services replace a prior vendor and are intended to maintain continuity for behavior-instruction support tied to IEPs.
