Perry Local board approves consent agenda, accepts grants and authorizes $23,360 VR headset purchase

The Perry Local Board of Education voted to approve a consent agenda that bundled multiple personnel items, policy readings, financial transfers, and procurement requests for the 2026–27 school year.

Among the items approved were personnel actions (reemployment notices, hiring authorizations, supplemental positions and substitute lists), a two-year satellite program standards and maintenance agreement with Lake Erie College and Auburn Career Center effective 07/01/2026–06/30/2028, acceptance of grant funds, and a purchase of VR Prism headsets and charging system for $23,360 recommended by building principals and the chief financial officer.

The board moved and seconded the consent agenda and took a roll-call vote. Board members who responded in the roll call included 'Missus Foley,' 'Mister Gregor,' 'Mister Leiden,' 'Missus Treskin' and 'Missus Sealy,' each recorded as voting 'Yes' during the initial consent-agenda roll call recorded in the transcript.

Why it matters: The approvals formalize staffing and operational plans for the coming school year, secure a partnership for a satellite program that will run for two years, and fund classroom technology (VR headsets) that administrators said will support instructional goals.

Next steps: Approved reemployment and appointment items will be finalized through standard contract and hiring paperwork; the chief financial officer will place grant appropriations in the indicated accounts and complete procurement for the headsets.
