Cuyahoga Heights Local board approves consent agenda; treasurer flags audit, forecast and insurance renewal
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda and several purchase orders and donations, and the treasurer reported an upcoming audit release, an unsigned GAP contract with the auditor of state's office, and a modest property‑insurance renewal increase to $121,656.
The Cuyahoga Heights Local Board of Education approved its consent agenda at the May 26 meeting, adopting routine purchase orders, accepting donations and noting several vendor renewals and budget‑related items.
The treasurer presented consent items 7A and 8A–F, then summarized purchase orders over $500, including Precision Environmental for removal of material near the north gym ceiling (general fund cost $14,345) and Blick art materials for a front‑loading kiln and accessories for elementary art instruction. The board also accepted three donations: a $5,000 Joe Joe Cocab scholarship from Stacy and Matthew Manahan, a $500 Larry Rogers scholarship through the CHS athletic boosters, and a scoreboard component donation of about $7,656 from the CHS athletic boosters. The consent motion passed on a roll call reported as 4–0.
The treasurer briefed trustees on two fiscal items: an audit exit conference that is wrapping up and a 'GAP' contract (to convert district records from cash basis to GAAP) with the auditor of state's office that had not yet been finalized as of early May. He reminded the board that the district’s multi‑year financial forecast is due on or before Aug. 31 and will be discussed further in June and July.
On insurance, the board was briefed that the property‑insurance renewal with vendor Sorsa increased from $120,574 last year to $121,656 this year, an approximately $1,000 rise that was described as consistent with market trends.
What happens next: administration will continue work to finalize the GAP contract and prepare the forecast; purchase orders and donations approved at the meeting will proceed as authorized.
