Board approves athletic realignment, administrative contracts and multiple routine items
Summary
At its March 12 meeting the Marlington board unanimously approved several motions including acceptance of an exchange student, termination of Eastern Buckeye Athletic Conference membership (effective in two years), authorization to join a new Northeast Senate League, approval of minutes and financial reports, and administrative contracts for three principals.
The Marlington Local School District Board of Education voted on multiple agenda items during its March 12, 2026 meeting. Key outcomes were recorded by roll call and carried unanimously unless noted.
Exchange student: The board approved acceptance of an exchange student for the 2026–27 school year (motion moved and seconded; roll-call vote recorded as yes from all members present).
Athletic conference realignment: The board passed a resolution to terminate membership in the Eastern Buckeye Athletic Conference effective in two years and approved a resolution to join the newly described Northeast Senate League as a founding member. Both resolutions passed by roll call.
Administrative contracts and personnel: The board approved administrative contracts for Kathleen Moore (Marlboro principal, 8/1/2026–7/1/2029), Ashley Weber (Lexington principal, 8/1/2026–7/31/2029) and Greg Travis Jr. (assistant high school principal, 8/1/2026–7/31/2029). The board also approved a bundle of personnel items (classified resignations and hires, certified hires including an intervention specialist, supplemental and substitute hires and leaves) by recorded vote.
Minutes and financials: The board approved minutes for the forecast work session (Feb. 5) and the regular meeting (Feb. 12) and approved February financial reports. The treasurer reported a total fund balance of $7,436,020.61 and provided fund-level cash balances.
Property valuation complaint: The board authorized filing an original complaint to increase the recorded valuation of a commercial property after it sold for about $2.7 million while county records listed about $1.3 million; board members said the action aims to ensure the district receives appropriate tax revenue.
Donations: The board accepted gifts including a $100 donation to the care team from Anthony and Karen Humphreys.
Votes (summary): The roll-call responses recorded present and affirmative votes from board members Jonathan Swift, Mark Ryan, Josh Hagen, Karen Humphreys and Kathy Krupko on the motions presented; where the transcript recorded unanimous "yes" votes, motions passed.
Next steps: Actions requiring implementation or follow-up—administrative hires to begin their contracts in August; the property valuation complaint to be filed; treasurer to process appropriations and transfers as needed.
