Solon Board approves consent agenda: bills, personnel actions, contracts and student trips
Loading...
Summary
The board approved routine business including minutes, payment of $215,828 in bills, several personnel actions and a five-year $69,840 Spectrum fiber agreement; it also adopted a resolution declaring transportation impractical for one student and approved overnight student travel to Atlanta.
At its April 27 meeting the Solon Board of Education approved routine consent items, including minutes, payment of bills, personnel actions and district contracts.
The board approved payment of bills totaling $215,828 and authorized "then and now" purchase-order certificates for three exceptions: a science-supply purchase order that required reopening, consultant services for a show-choir trip, and a settlement agreement related to a student matter.
The board approved retirements listed in the superintendent's attachment and authorized administrative contracts for several recommended hires: Dakota Berg as Solon High School principal; Paige Zenovich in a program-support role; Ashley Mivsek as teacher leader at Lewis Elementary; and Timothy Rosenbaum as director of business and personnel. Superintendent Bolton described each candidate's background during the recommendation.
The trustees approved a five-year agreement with Spectrum for $69,840 to lease fiber connectivity to Regano Early Learning Center and Lewis Elementary from Orchard Middle School; Bolton said the E‑rate bid produced Spectrum as the lowest bidder and that an anticipated E‑rate discount could reduce the district's cost by about 40% once approved.
Other approved items included resignations listed in the attachment; tuition reimbursements that met district criteria; approval of limited teaching contracts for the 2026–27 school year (four new teachers and one school psychologist); and authorization for the Fulham High School Academic Challenge team to travel to Atlanta for the National Academic Quiz Tournament.
The board adopted a resolution declaring transportation "impractical" for a single student for the remainder of this school year, enabling the family to apply for prorated reimbursement under criteria in the attachment. No public comments were recorded at either opportunity.
The board adjourned; its next meeting is scheduled for May 11 at 6 p.m.
