Medina City Schools board approves minutes and consent agenda; observes moment of silence for teacher Courtney

The Medina City Schools Board of Education approved four sets of minutes and the consent agenda during its meeting, and observed a moment of silence for a district elementary teacher who recently died.

The board approved minutes from multiple prior meetings cited in the agenda (the organizational meeting on Jan. 13; tax budget hearing minutes for fiscal year ’27; a special meeting listed as "11326"; and a special meeting work session listed as "129 of 26"). One board member moved to approve all four sets of minutes and another seconded; roll-call responses recorded affirmative replies from present board members and the motion carried.

Later the board moved to approve the consent agenda; a second motion passed by roll call with the same affirmative responses. The transcript records individual affirmative responses from present members (recorded as "I" or "yes"); names given during the roll-call votes included Mr. Per, Mr. West, Miss Durley, Mr. Hair and Miss Smooyer. The transcript does not clearly identify the members who made and seconded the motions by name.

Before presentations, the board announced that Courtney, who "served in our district as an elementary teacher in multiple buildings," recently passed away and held a moment of silence in her honor.

Next steps: no additional formal actions were listed on these agenda items; the board proceeded to a presentation by Fen Elementary staff and students.
