Summary
At its January meeting the State Board of Education approved several personnel actions: revocations and denials affecting six license/permit holders. Votes were taken on items 9–14, with two recusals noted and all motions passing as recorded.
The Ohio State Board of Education on January 2026 approved a slate of personnel actions—including license revocations and application denials—during its voting agenda.
The board considered items 9 through 14 (school personnel matters). Item 9, a resolution to revoke the license of Robert Forman, passed by roll call 16–0 with one abstention after President LaRue recused himself from the matter. Item 10, a resolution to permanently revoke the permit of Kara Gillum, passed 17–0. Item 11, a resolution to revoke the licenses of Olga Patinod, passed 17–1. Item 12, a resolution to deny permanently the application of Richard Roller, passed 18–0. Item 13, a resolution to revoke the license and permit of Jacob Ambrezin, passed 18–0. Item 14, a resolution to deny the application of Charles Weller, passed 17–0 with one abstention; Member Maguire was recorded as recused on that item.
The consent agenda (items 1–8) had earlier passed by roll call, 17–0. Meeting minutes and procedural motions were handled by roll call as recorded on the public record; no further discussion on the personnel items was recorded in open session.
The board did not announce further detail on the grounds for each action during the open meeting record; roll‑call tallies and recusal notes are those read into the record at the meeting.
