Board approves routine financial items and due diligence for potential property on State Route 39
Summary
The board approved the treasurer's March financials, multiple contracts and purchases, two donations, and due-diligence work for a potential State Route 39 property — costs include soil borings and a traffic study that the district said would be shared with OFCC if pursued.
The New Philadelphia Board of Education approved the treasurer's March financial reports and a slate of fiscal items at the meeting.
The treasurer reported all balances in balance and requested approvals that the board carried by roll call. Items approved included a depository memorandum of agreement, voluntary student accident insurance for fiscal year 2027 through Guaranteed Trust Life, a shared‑use agreement for the bus garage at 518 Church Street NW for $425 per month and several vendor contracts and invoices, including a $3,350 engagement with Fax Education Solutions and a $23,150 invoice to Gorkon Construction for bus garage concrete work. The board also approved a CDW purchase of $31,642 and an Omni stadium Wi‑Fi service listed at $180 per month (all noted as 80% E‑rate eligible in the treasurer's presentation).
The board also approved due‑diligence expenditures for a potential property on State Route 39. The treasurer listed Riverstone (survey), an Intertech environmental site assessment noted at $2,200, an Intertech Phase II listed at $4,900, soil borings by ESC at $25,000 and a TMS traffic study at $9,575; the treasurer said those costs would be shared with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) if the project proceeds. The transcript contains some numeric formatting issues for a separate 'statement of work' total shown as '205,38560' in the packet; the board approved the listed due‑diligence and purchasing actions as presented.
The board accepted two donations (a $600 donation from Michelle Watt for a Washington, D.C. trip and $200 from Cheryl Graham for the Chip Graham award), noted two FMLA leaves and approved a $10,000 transfer from the general fund to the permanent improvement fund. All items passed on voice or roll‑call votes as shown in the meeting record.
No further detail was provided about next steps for the State Route 39 property beyond the treasurer's note that costs would be shared with OFCC if the district proceeds with acquisition.
