Troy board reviews wellness funding, accepts gifts and approves routine fiscal, personnel and cybersecurity measures
Summary
At its public meeting the Troy City School District board heard that student-wellness funding has declined from over $1 million several years ago to roughly $400,000 this year, accepted donations totaling about $169,000 year-to-date, approved the 2027–28 calendar and passed routine fiscal, personnel and cybersecurity resolutions.
The Troy City School District Board of Education received several routine reports and approved multiple fiscal and personnel measures at its public meeting.
Dr. Moore reported on the Student Wellness and Success funds and Disadvantaged Pupil Impact Aid (DPIA). He said the district has long used the wellness funds for nurses, counselors, PBIS and social-emotional supports and noted those funds have declined over time: "I would say ... we don't always know exactly what we're getting," Dr. Moore said, and added that the district has budgeted conservatively based on trend data. He told the board DPIA funding typically hovers around $200,000 and that the district received $276,614 this year.
The superintendent presented a gifts report; the board accepted a variety of community donations for June and a fiscal-year-to-date total just above $169,000.
On finance and administration the board approved several routine but required items: minutes from May 11, 2026; monthly financial reports; then-and-now certifications under Ohio law (5705.41(D)(1)); a resolution authorizing accounting entries necessary to legally close fiscal year 2025–26; and temporary appropriations for FY2027 to allow operations while the final budget is developed. Board members also approved a resolution to request county-auditor certification for a renewal tax measure (first of two steps toward a possible ballot measure).
The board adopted the 2027–28 school calendar after committee review. Board discussion noted calendar tradeoffs — student days, professional-development days, Christmas-break length and the impact of the Memorial Day holiday — and reaffirmed the district practice of avoiding June 1 as a deadline that could affect retiree payments.
The board also approved a resolution to implement cybersecurity measures consistent with Ohio law and accepted personnel items in Exhibit F, including the hire of Cindy Steel as an intervention specialist and the administrative appointment of Jenna (who described her local background and experience).
During public comment members of the Leadership Troy cohort introduced themselves and one community member thanked transportation staff for support during the 50th Troy Strawberry Festival. The board concluded the public session and moved into executive session to consider personnel matters.
Future public steps noted by staff include posting the Student Wellness and Success annual update to the district website and scheduling a July hearing on a retiree reemployment matter.
