Solon City Board approves routine business, sets 2027 tax rates and personnel actions
Summary
The Solon City Board of Education approved minutes, payments, tax rates for 2027 and several personnel items at its March 16 meeting, and scheduled a final vote on retiree rehires for June 1, 2026.
The Solon City Board of Education on March 16 approved a package of routine business, including minutes, payment of bills, tax rates for tax year 2027 and several personnel actions.
The board moved and seconded to approve the Feb. 23, 2026 special and regular meeting minutes and then approved the payment of bills listed on the agenda. The treasurer noted the bills included one security purchase for surveillance servers used to record interior and exterior video; the agenda’s numeric total in the transcript record appears corrupted and is not specified in the documents provided to the board.
On tax matters, the board accepted the tax rates for tax year 2027 as determined by the Kyhoga County Budget Commission and authorized necessary tax levies and certifications to the county auditor. The presenter explained there were no changes from prior years and distinguished voted millage from effective millage under House Bill 920.
The board also approved a five-year resolution estimating the district’s active and inactive monies for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2031, a step required by state law to solicit banking proposals and select depositories.
In personnel actions taken by motion, the board approved three substitute teachers for the 2025–26 school year; a number of listed resignations with their effective dates; a slate of home-instruction tutors to serve students out for extended illness or injury; certification of a district bus driver (named in the agenda as Ebony Allen); an unpaid leave of absence for an employee for the remainder of the school year; and approved tuition reimbursements listed in the agenda attachment. The board held the second of three required public hearings on rehiring retired employees; final action on that rehire resolution is scheduled for June 1, 2026.
All motions taken during the business portion were carried on roll-call votes with the board members recorded in the roll calls voting in the affirmative.
The meeting ended after a second public-comment period that drew no speakers; the board set its next meeting for April 13 at 6 p.m. at the board office.
