Indian Hill board approves online continuity plan, handbooks and financial contracts
Summary
The Indian Hill Exempted Village School District board approved the district's Online Continuity Plan (an Ohio Department of Education requirement), multiple student and staff handbooks, personnel contracts and several vendor contracts and insurance renewals during routine superintendent and treasurer reports.
The Indian Hill Exempted Village School District board approved the district's Online Continuity Plan, which Dr. Stewart said is required annually by the Ohio Department of Education to set out how instruction would continue if schools were closed for multiple days.
Dr. Stewart presented a package of routine superintendent items including approval of student handbooks (primary through high school), the athletic and staff handbooks, substitute and internal rates (including nurses and curriculum rates), renewal of limited contracts and certified staff contracts, supplemental personnel-service contracts for the upcoming year, and other personnel and tuition items.
"This is required by the Ohio Department of Education every year to be passed by July 1st," Dr. Stewart said of the continuity plan. She also named two new employees joining the district and reviewed the long list of supplemental contracts the board will approve for extracurricular and athletic activities.
On a motion to approve items 7A through 10D, the board conducted a verbal roll-call and recorded affirmative votes from board members present; the motion passed.
Treasurer Ms. Davis then presented financial items including approval of minutes from the May 19, 2026 meeting and financial reports through May 31, 2026. She reported the district's annual insurance renewal with the Ohio School Plan for commercial property/pollution at $224,653 and cyber protection at $16,105, and listed several contracts the board approved for the 2026–27 year: interactive displays for $45,481.39, cooperative fiscal and student-services support for $111,537.43, autism services for $63,550, enrollment-management services for $64,056, comprehensive concepts for special education not to exceed $121,837, frontline services for $39,111.84, and technology and IT professional services for $146,713.16.
A motion to approve treasurer agenda items 8A through 8I was made and seconded, with named board members responding affirmatively in the voice roll call; the motion passed.
Board members closed the meeting with a brief summary of a recent three-hour work session on governance and long-term planning, including preliminary discussion of a possible capital project to expand the primary school to address rising enrollment; no decisions were made and an additional work session was scheduled for July.
