Board approves consent agenda: donations, personnel changes and new scholarship account; transportation mechanic honored
Summary
The board approved financial reports and consent items, accepted three donations totaling $7,435, authorized a new Eugene A. Empter educational scholarship account, approved supplemental and substitute contracts, and recognized transportation mechanic Bart Hahn in a staff spotlight.
The Cuyahoga Heights Board of Education approved its consent agenda, which included monthly financial reports, several personnel recommendations, donations, and the establishment of a new scholarship account.
Treasurer remarks and donations: The treasurer reported three donations included on the consent agenda: $5,600 from the after‑prom committee to support the class of 2026; $835 from the CHS Athletic Boosters for tournament support earmarked for the class of 2029; and $1,000 from Patricia Martin for the district’s football program. The board thanked the donors and approved acceptance of the donations as part of the consent agenda.
Scholarship account and appropriations: The board authorized the creation of a new account for the Eugene A. Empter educational scholarship and modified permanent appropriations to enable spending from that account. During discussion, the treasurer said the new scholarship funding for the district would be established (the treasurer referred to $5,500 in one place and materials later referenced $5,000 per school, creating a discrepancy in the transcript). The board approved the account creation and appropriation change to permit use of the scholarship funds.
Personnel and contracts: Superintendent Young presented recommended supplemental contracts related primarily to summer school instruction, two long‑term substitute teacher recommendations, pay rates for AP test proctors and a recommended modification for an assistant track coach following a resignation. The board approved the personnel items on the consent agenda.
Staff spotlight: The board recognized Bart Hahn from the transportation department for his long hours and commitment to safe, reliable bus service. Superintendent Young read a resolution praising Hahn's dedication and service; the board adopted the recognition.
Procedure and votes: The treasurer called the roll on consent items and the motions passed by recorded vote; the meeting record shows the consent agenda votes passed 5–0.
