Board approves 2023–24 audit, two personnel contracts, INET IRU use and appoints Carol Mitchell
Summary
The Ovid-Elsie Area Schools board approved its 2023–24 financial audit, two personnel contracts (operations manager and a middle-school special-ed teacher), renewed district use of INET IRU capacity, and appointed Carol Mitchell to a four-year term on the MIPS board.
The Ovid-Elsie Area Schools Board approved several routine but consequential items during the meeting.
The board accepted the 2023–24 financial audit after a motion moved by Mr. Shipper and supported by Dr. Cuff; the motion passed on a roll-call vote. The administrator told the board the 2023–24 budget was balanced with some surplus and that the 2024–25 proposed budget remained close to balance but required continued caution.
The board approved two personnel contracts placed in the board packet: a contract for WOBES operations manager Kevin Summers and a contract for a middle-school special education teacher. Both motions were approved without recorded dissent.
The board also approved a renewal/authorization to allow district use of extra INET (MMNET) IRU capacity—service the district jointly owns with other area districts—after the administrator explained the long-standing cooperative ownership and the benefits of using the extra fiber capacity (motion by Mr. Nash, supported by Dr. Huff; motion passed).
Finally, the board appointed Carol Mitchell to a four-year term on the MIPS board; the motion was made by Brooke Woodley and supported by Ms. Shipper and passed.
What comes next: administration will present the MEC audit documentation as provided and continue budget monitoring for 2024–25; personnel contracts take effect as indicated in the board packet.
