Garfield Heights board approves settlement agreement on interim superintendent's recommendation

At a special Garfield Heights City Schools board meeting June 23, 2020, the board approved a settlement agreement upon the recommendation of the interim superintendent and then adjourned. The motion to approve the settlement was moved by Miss Morrison and seconded by a board member whose name appears inconsistently in the record (transcript variants include "Mrs. Urban Doer" and "Mrs. Irvin Doer"). The transcript records affirmative roll-call votes and the chair announcing that "that motion passes."

The meeting opened with roll call, during which Mr. Dudley and Miss Morrison were recorded present and Miss Cox was noted as excused. The agenda was adopted by motion before the board considered Item 2.1, described in the record as "a resolution of the board to vote upon and approve a settlement agreement" upon the interim superintendent's recommendation. The transcript contains no description of the settlement terms, parties, or dollar amounts; those details were not specified in the spoken record.

Following the vote on Item 2.1, the board moved to adjourn at 6:02 p.m.; that motion passed on roll call. The transcript ends shortly thereafter. No further committee discussion, presentation of settlement details, or public comment appears in the record.
