Waterloo Local board approves personnel moves, MOUs and Spark Cyber contract
Summary
The board approved multiple personnel actions (step adjustments, substitute and supplemental contracts), memoranda of understanding, appropriations adjustments and a three-year contract with Spark Cyber. One member abstained from the Spark vote to avoid a conflict of interest.
The Waterloo Local Board of Education approved a package of personnel, contractual and budget items during its regular meeting, including a step adjustment for a staff member, issuance of substitute and supplemental contracts for the 2025–26 school year, memoranda of understanding with partner districts and a three-year contract with Spark Cyber.
The superintendent recommended a step adjustment for an identified staff member effective Aug. 22, 2025; the board approved the motion by roll call. The board also voted to issue substitute contracts and supplemental athletic and activity contracts for the coming school year. Memoranda of understanding with neighboring districts to share services were approved as presented.
In treasury business the board approved the September meeting minutes and financial statements, and approved a contract with Spark Cyber covering the 2025–2028 school years. A trustee disclosed a family member’s employment with Spark and abstained from that vote for transparency. The board approved adjustments to appropriations later in the meeting.
Members discussed state funding pressures and property-tax proposals during the session but carried the listed motions by roll call as presented. Each approved contract and personnel action will be processed through the district’s human-resources and business offices; the meeting record shows roll-call approvals but does not list hiring-step paperwork or contract amounts beyond the Spark contract term.
