Mapleton Local board approves FY25 transfers, buys van and signs several service contracts including $60,360 mental-health agreement
Summary
The Mapleton Local Board accepted the June financial report, approved transfers to avoid a projected FY25 deficit, purchased a transport van for $40,161.90, and awarded multiple service contracts — including a $60,360 school-based therapist contract funded by Student Wellness and Success funds.
ShaNa Benner, board president, opened the July 8 meeting and led the Board as it approved several fiscal and contract items for the 2024–25 year.
The Board accepted the June 2024 financial report and approved transfers/advances from the General Fund “to prevent a negative ending balance for FY25,” a motion moved by ShaNa Benner and seconded by Mindy Scurlock. Those procedural financial moves were recorded as carried by the Board.
On a separate vote, the Board approved purchasing a school transportation van from Donley Ford of Ashland for $40,161.90, to be paid from permanent improvement funds. The van purchase motion was moved by Mindy Scurlock and seconded by ShaNa Benner and carried by those present.
The Board also approved multiple service agreements for the coming school year. Members voted to adopt the 2024–25 Educational/Special Services Contract with the Tri-County Educational Services Center for preschool, fine arts, career connections, the Ohio Medicaid School Program and math coaching services; and to enter a service agreement with the Midland Council of Governments, doing business as Tri-County Computer Services Association, for internet access, VOIP, managed Wi‑Fi, network equipment maintenance, backup and recovery, and related technology services. Those contracts were approved on motions recorded in the July 8 minutes.
The Board approved an Educational Institution Agreement with Maxim Healthcare Services, Inc. for supplemental healthcare staffing services for 2024–25.
On a motion by Mindy Scurlock, seconded by ShaNa Benner, the Board approved a contract with Appleseed Community Mental Health Center, Inc. for school-based therapist services for the 2024–25 school year in the amount of $60,360.00. Meeting minutes state the Appleseed contract will be funded from Student Wellness and Success funds.
The motions and contracts were recorded as carried by the Board members present. No dissenting votes were recorded; Board member Vince Hartzler was noted as excused for the meeting.
