Loveland board approves support‑staff contract, continuity plan, graduates and routine fiscal items
Summary
The Loveland City Board of Education approved a three‑year negotiated agreement covering hourly support staff, readopted the 2026–27 continuity of learning plan required by the state, approved the 2026 graduates, accepted county tax‑collection rates and accepted a nearly $50,000 donation for LMS classroom shade.
At its work session, the Loveland City Board of Education approved several operational and financial items central to the district's upcoming year, including a three‑year support‑staff collective bargaining agreement, the annual continuity of learning plan, the list of 2026 graduates and routine fiscal resolutions.
Negotiated agreement: District negotiators described a collaborative process that resulted in a three‑year contract covering hourly support staff — bus drivers, custodians, maintenance, food service and secretarial staff. "We have very hardworking and talented people," Mr. Collier said, praising the group and the collaborative negotiations. District leaders told the board the agreement was structured to fit within the district's levy and financial plan and to keep hourly roles competitive. The board approved the agreement by roll call.
Continuity plan: Administrators explained the continuity of learning plan is required by the state and must be readopted annually; they reported no substantive changes this year from the prior plan. The board approved the 2026–27 continuity plan by roll call.
Graduates and HR items: The board approved the slate of 2026 graduates as presented and also approved a routine human resources item to pay modest stipends for after‑school clubs and activities to staff on the May 20 payroll. Staff emphasized these are small, one‑time amounts intended to thank employees who run voluntary student activities.
Treasurer and appropriations: The treasurer reported the Hamilton County Auditor's Office provided the property tax collection rates required for submission; the board accepted the rates. Administrators also said the district received a nearly $50,000 donation from the local schools foundation; the board approved adding the donation to appropriations and the certificate so the district can order shade for an LMS classroom before the requisition cut‑off date.
All motions recorded in the work session were approved by roll call. The meeting adjourned at 6:27 p.m.
