At-a-glance: Indian Hill board approves superintendent, vendor agreements and policy update
Summary
At the March 17 meeting the board approved Dr. Melissa Stewart's contract, accepted the treasurer's report that included vendor contracts and a $100,000 naming-rights agreement with Moes Engineering, and passed a Neola policy update on entrance requirements; the board also voted to enter executive session on personnel investigations.
The Indian Hill Exempted Village Board of Education took a series of formal actions during its March 17 meeting, approving personnel contracts, vendor agreements, donations and a policy update.
Superintendent appointment: The board voted to approve a three-year contract to hire Dr. Melissa Stewart as the districts next superintendent, with Stewart to remain interim through the end of the school year and begin the new contract in August.
Treasurers report and contracts: The board approved the treasurers report and a set of financial items for the month ending Feb. 28, 2026, including contracts for Chromebook warranties, residential student services, boiler replacement and servers, camera and access-point licenses, and a three-year custodial-services contract with Scarlet and Gray. Board discussion noted future operational review of the Aramark meal contract and whether to remove the primary and elementary schools from the federal school-lunch program.
Sponsorship and naming rights: The board approved a five-year naming-rights sponsorship with Moes Engineering for the athletics alumni room in exchange for $100,000. Meeting remarks named Brad Moes and referenced buyer Mike Murdoch as a future district resident and property owner.
Policy update: The board completed a second reading and approved a Neola policy update clarifying entrance requirements for preschool and kindergarten; the district will keep its current system for determining readiness rather than adopting a suggested first-day-of-school entry rule.
Executive session: Near the meetings end the board moved into executive session under Ohio Revised Code 121.22 to consider the investigation of charges or complaints against a classified employee and an employee under a supplemental contract; trustees recorded roll-call votes to approve entering the session.
The motions and approvals were recorded in the meeting minutes as part of the consent agenda or as separate votes; the board recorded yes votes for the primary actions on the public record. The administration will carry out follow-up tasks such as contract execution, vendor onboarding and any recommended operational reviews.
