Brooklyn City board approves construction manager, accepts $250,000 NFL Foundation grant and several personnel items
Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting the Board approved Dunlop and Johnson as construction manager at‑risk for the district renovation program, accepted a $250,000 grant from the NFL Foundation, and approved multiple personnel items and student trips; all actions were approved by roll call.
The Brooklyn City Board of Education approved several formal actions Tuesday, including selection of Dunlop and Johnson, Inc. as construction manager at‑risk for the district’s capital improvement and renovation program and acceptance of a $250,000 grant from the National Football League Foundation’s Local Initiative Support Corporation program.
Treasurer Mr. Shearhart presented the financial context in a prior report and the board then moved through consent and action items by motion and roll call. The board adopted the minutes and financial statements and approved 2024‑25 supplemental assignments and employment contingent on background checks and credentialing.
Construction manager selection: the board resolved to authorize execution of a construction‑management agreement with Dunlop and Johnson, Inc., finding the firm the best value for the district’s capital improvement projects and scheduled renovations. A motion to approve the contract passed by roll call; the board thanked members of the selection committee who participated in the evaluation.
Grant acceptance: the board authorized the superintendent and treasurer to accept grant funds from the Local Initiative Support Corporation provided by the National Football League Foundation in the amount of $250,000 for the period 09/01/2024–02/28/2026 on behalf of the district. The resolution passed on a board vote.
Field trips and instructional items: trustees approved student field trips for the 2024‑25 year including a fifth‑grade day trip to the Henry Ford Museum in Greenfield Village on May 28, 2025, and an eighth‑grade overnight to Washington, D.C., May 28–30, 2025. The board also approved the district’s gifted identification and service plan for 2024‑25 and several supplemental coaching assignments (including Corey Neal Bonds as boys basketball coach for 2024‑25), all contingent on required checks and certification.
Transportation determination: the board adopted a resolution, citing Ohio Revised Code section 3327.02 and Department of Education procedures, that authorizes the board to determine the impracticality of transportation for certain students eligible under RC 3327.01 as submitted by the schools; the action was presented and approved by motion and roll call.
Votes: the motions were approved by roll call throughout the meeting. The meeting transcript records roll‑call confirmations for each listed motion; the board chair asked the treasurer to call the roll for each vote and members answered as documented in the minutes.
What’s next: administrators said the five‑year forecast and renovation details will be reviewed at the Nov. 5 work session and then placed on the November regular agenda for required state submission by Nov. 30. Several personnel items and contracts are contingent on successful background checks and credentialing.
