Waterloo Local board approves personnel moves, vendor contracts and a $4,000 Dollar General literacy grant; August financials show $1.1M surplus
Summary
The board accepted the resignation of Marcy Ammons, approved a leave of absence for Oneita Salzman, multiple staffing stipends and substitute contracts, four vendor agreements (including Cintas and an Ohio State SNAP-Ed partnership), approved school fees and accepted a $4,000 Dollar General literacy grant; August financials showed an all-funds surplus of about $1.1 million.
At its regular meeting, the Waterloo Local Board of Education approved a series of personnel and contractual items and heard a financial report showing a surplus for August.
Personnel approvals included accepting the resignation of Marcy Ammons, a cafeteria aide effective Aug. 27, and granting a leave of absence for custodian Oneita Salzman (effective July 1). The board also approved extended days for listed employees (corrections from the prior meeting), the issuance of substitute contracts, stipends for the LPDC recertification committee and resident educator mentors, athletic support staff contracts and supplemental contracts for coaches and advisers. Each of these motions was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
On contracts, the board approved four agreements: a contract with Cintas for uniform and facility linen services; a multi-year occupational and physical therapy agreement with Lisa DCH (noted as an unusual three-year arrangement adopted for pricing reasons); a SNAP-Ed education nutrition partnership with Ohio State University (no cost to the district); and a 12-month food-service vending agreement with Portage Private Industry Council.
Financial report: Treasurer Scott presented August financials showing an all‑funds surplus of about $1.1 million for August and a year-to-date surplus of roughly $1.7 million. Key revenue items included a $1.25 million second-half real-estate settlement, a $50,000 Medicaid reimbursement, a manufactured-home settlement (about $118,000), and interest and other receipts. The report noted the district’s general fund emergency balance is about $300,000 lower than last year due to timing of a state rollback payment that arrived in September this year.
Grants and donations: The board approved two donations (a youth-wrestling association flag system valued at $679.95 and a limestone donation from Paul Adelman Trucking worth about $500) and accepted a $4,000 Dollar General Literacy Foundation grant to purchase library books, creating associated revenue and expense accounts.
The meeting concluded with a unanimous roll-call vote to recess into executive session to discuss employment and compensation matters.
