Maple Heights City board approves contracts, joins OHSAA and OKs settlement
Summary
At its March 2 committee meeting, the Maple Heights City school board unanimously approved multiple contracts and resolutions, including membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association for 2026–27, a $1,000 donation to the high school baseball program, and a settlement agreement with a named individual.
The Maple Heights City School Board at its March 2 Committee of the Whole meeting approved a package of contracts and resolutions, including authorization to join the Ohio High School Athletic Association for the 2026–27 school year and a $1,000 donation to the high school baseball program.
President Moore and the five-member board voted unanimously on routine and new-business items after brief presentations. The board accepted a $1,000 donation from Ed Strauss, general manager of Lost Nation Sports Park, and directed staff to send a letter of appreciation.
Miss Delaflor, a district staff member, summarized a renewed College Credit Plus memorandum of understanding with 'Kyhoga Community College' (as transcribed), which would allow students in grades 7–12 to earn college credit. The board approved that contract and several others, including outplacement agreements with Thrive Early Learning Services for students whose Individualized Education Program services exceed district capacity.
Among the resolutions approved was Resolution 2619 authorizing membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association for 2026–27, which passed by unanimous roll call. The board also approved Resolution 2620 (a revision tied to prior Resolution 2510 and contracts dated 12/15/2025), Resolution 2621 (a contract amendment noting that the listed provider will not provide regular education services and updating contractor contact information), and Resolution 2622, described in the meeting as a settlement agreement with 'Randy Scalpins' (name presented as transcribed). All motions carried on roll-call votes with Miss Cheeks, Miss Hunter, Mr. Blackwell, Miss Shepard and Miss Moore recorded as voting yes.
The board approved the consent calendar for items A through K (contracts, resignations, leaves, supplemental and miscellaneous employment, substitute hires and volunteers) without discussion. The meeting record shows no actions were taken during executive session and that the board reconvened for routine business before adjourning into a second executive session later in the meeting.
No financial details beyond the $1,000 donation were provided on the record for the contracts or the settlement agreement; where the transcript cited prior contract dates or earlier resolutions, the board referenced those items without further detail during the committee meeting.
