Board approves transfers, personnel moves and FY26–27 appropriations; two resignations accepted
Summary
At its regular meeting the board approved consent agenda financial transfers to support food service and permanent improvements, accepted two resignations, approved multiple personnel contracts and supplemental agreements, and adopted amended FY26 and temporary FY27 appropriations.
The Fairfield Union Local School District board approved a slate of routine fiscal and personnel items during its meeting.
Financial actions: The board approved two transfers: $150,000 from the general fund to food services (bringing year-to-date transfers to $350,000) and $500,000 from the general fund to permanent improvement (PI). Finance staff presented the district’s final food-service report showing 357,000 meals served this fiscal year (an increase from 343,000 the prior year), $902,000 in food-service receipts versus $841,000 last year, and an operating loss of approximately $295,000 tied to the district’s participation in the community eligibility provision (CEP). Trustees discussed continuing the CEP rollout and the funding implications.
Personnel and contracts: The board accepted resignations from Taylor Hicks (Bremen tutor) and Hannah Penrose (high-school agricultural education teacher), both effective at the conclusion of the school year. The board approved support-service contracts for Ramona Brown (bus driver) and Samuel Fink (BRT aide) pending verification of application materials; approved the transfer of Trisha Han from Rushville Middle School to Pleasantville Elementary principal (group 4, step 20); and approved a list of personal-service supplemental contracts and seven extended-duty contracts for 2026–27. A separate supplemental contract for Brianna Hoffman as a grade-two instructional leader passed with one abstention.
Operations and budgets: Trustees approved the 2026–27 bus routes, renewed the district’s Ohio School Plan liability insurance for FY27 (premium about $127,000), approved amended permanent appropriations for FY26 and adopted temporary appropriations for FY27 to allow spending beginning July 1.
Votes: Motions were passed on roll call throughout the meeting; where recorded, votes were unanimous except the one abstention on the Brianna Hoffman supplemental contract. The board also voted to recess to executive session under a cited provision of the Ohio Revised Code; no action was anticipated after the executive session.
Next steps: Several personnel vacancies (notably the Rushville Middle School principal opening) are being actively recruited with candidate interviews planned ahead of the July board meeting.
