The Bradford Exempted Village school board on Monday took a series of routine actions by roll-call vote, approving the meeting agenda, past minutes, financial items, several personnel matters and authorizing a small capital project.
Highlights of the actions the board approved unanimously include:
- Approval of the meeting agenda with two additions: page 9, item 8 corrected to "out of state," and addition of item 18 for approval of the financial statement audit.
- Approval of the March 13 meeting minutes.
- Approval of financial items including the district financial journal and check register, a short-term advance from the general fund to the Washington, D.C. fund (to cover deposits), a modification of the auditor contract, donations, and placement of the financial statement audit for 06/30/2023 on the agenda. Treasurer Carly reported the district received an AES Ohio EV rebate of $69,000 and is pursuing a utility-usage grant of roughly $15,000.
- Personnel approvals: the hiring of Raymond Clark for the positions listed in the agenda packet.
- Authorization for the superintendent to select and hire contractors to build phase 1 of a preschool restroom project not to exceed $45,000 (see separate report).
- A motion to move into executive session for a listed agenda item (Item G1); the board recessed into executive session at 7:11 p.m. and later returned and adjourned at approximately 7:36 p.m.
Each roll-call vote recorded the chair and five board members as voting yes: Chair; Missus Brewer; Mister Biesecker; Mister Manuel; Missus Hill; and Doctor Schwab. Where board members were named in the transcript, their recorded votes were affirmative; no recorded votes against or abstentions were read aloud.
The motions were procedural or routine in nature and will be implemented by administration as noted in the agenda package; the superintendent and relevant departments are responsible for carrying out contracted work and personnel onboarding.
