Board approves school fees, lunch prices, special-education contracts and budget resolutions
Summary
The Granville board approved 2026–27 fee adjustments, kept lunch prices flat, approved contracts for special-education providers (Boundless, Bowstone Academy), set seasonal tech pay and adopted permanent and temporary appropriation resolutions as well as interim tax-advance authorization.
During the action portion of the meeting the board moved and voted to approve multiple agenda items: an inflationary adjustment to school fees for 2026–27; lunch prices for 2026–27 (held flat from the prior year); a service agreement with Boundless (special-education provider); a contract with Bowstone Academy (special-education provider); and the hourly rate for seasonal technology support effective July 1 (annual compensation adjustment).
The consent agenda (items 7.01–7.18) passed and included personnel changes, supplemental pay approvals and stipends for national-board-certified teachers. The board subsequently approved budget-related items: the permanent appropriation resolution to align the general fund with carryover encumbrances; fund advances to prevent negative cash status in reimbursement-based grant funds; the temporary appropriation to permit July 1 spending in the new fiscal year; and authorization to request semiannual tax advances from the county auditor for cash-flow management.
Roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript as affirmative responses for the motions taken. The transcript does not provide full, itemized roll-call tallies or names of movers/seconders for every motion. Where the motion text was read into the record, it matched the published agenda item descriptions.
Why it matters: These routine approvals set fees and contracts that affect student services and district operations for the 2026–27 fiscal year and ensure cash-flow and appropriation authority to begin the new fiscal year on July 1.
Next steps: Approved contracts and appropriations will be implemented according to district procedures; the board moved into an executive session to consider confidential personnel matters after these public votes.
