Board approves routine motions, adopts online makeup plan and awards parking-lot restoration contract
Summary
At its May 11 meeting the Westerville board approved several routine motions (minutes, financials, appropriations, purchases and personnel consent items), adopted an online makeup-day plan, approved three out-of-state student trips, and awarded a FY26 parking-lot restoration contract to Burn and Jones Construction; some numeric amounts in the transcript were garbled and require verification in the posted materials.
The Westerville City Schools Board of Education completed a string of routine approvals and awarded a facilities contract during its May 11 meeting.
During the consent portion of the agenda the board approved minutes from previous meetings, financial reports and investments for March and April 2026, revised appropriations for fiscal 2026, and several purchase orders described as "then-and-now" items that were budgeted but opened after invoice dates. The personnel consent agenda — which included resignations, contract renewals, new hires, supplemental assignments and retirements — was presented and approved after an overview from district staff.
The board also adopted the district’s online makeup-day plan required under Ohio Revised Code section 3313.482. Staff said the plan is an insurance policy that the board must adopt annually; using it is optional and would be considered only in the case of catastrophic or multi‑building disruptions.
Trustees approved three out-of-state summer 2028 student-travel proposals (Italy; New Zealand; England–France–Switzerland–Italy) and approved two early-graduation candidates plus the candidacy lists for the district’s 2026 graduates. The board approved donations and thanked community partners for supporting student needs.
On facilities, the board voted to award the FY26 parking-lot restoration contract to Burn and Jones Construction for work at multiple district sites, including Central High School, South High School, Heritage Middle School, the transportation parking lot on East Walnut, Walnut Springs and Cherington. Meeting materials and staff commentary said the project will bring Walnut Springs and Cherington parking areas to completion as part of an 8–10 year renovation plan.
The contract amount in the spoken transcript appears garbled (listed as "1,37,432.80"); district staff indicated full bid documents and the contract are available in the meeting packet for verification. All motions on the consent agenda, the online plan and the contract award were approved by voice or recorded vote as presented.
