President Dale DeRolph called the Northern Local Schools Board of Education to order at 7:00 a.m. (time zone not specified) on June 28, 2024, in the District Office Board Room. Treasurer Elizabeth Clark called the roll and recorded four members present and one absent.
Pat Hogan moved to approve the minutes of the June 20, 2024 regular meeting. Sharon Cains seconded the motion, and the board adopted the minutes on a 4-0 roll call vote (one member, Megan Miller, was absent).
Superintendent Mrs. Gussler presented the superintendent’s report and a package of recommendations for board action. Pat Hogan moved to approve the recommendations; Levi Dupler seconded. The board approved the package unanimously by roll call, 4-0.
The approved package included: administrative salaries for the 2024–25 school year; the appointment of Jennie Clifton as interim treasurer, effective July 1–July 31, 2024; retention of Elizabeth Clark as a consultant, effective July 1–July 31, 2024; an adjustment to the superintendent’s annual salary, effective August 1, 2024; selection of EMC Insurance as the district’s property and liability insurance carrier for 2024–25; final appropriations for fiscal year 2023–24; temporary appropriations for fiscal year 2024–25; transfers and advances for 2023–24; authorization of student activity funds for 2023–24; and approval of grants for 2023–24.

All votes recorded in the transcript were unanimous among members present. President DeRolph declared the meeting adjourned after a final roll call that recorded the same 4-0 result.
