Board approves routine personnel actions, contracts and a $4,000 literacy grant
Summary
The board accepted a cafeteria aide resignation, approved leaves and multiple contract lists (substitutes, supplemental, athletic support), accepted donations, approved vendor agreements including a SNAP‑Ed MOU, and authorized acceptance of a $4,000 Dollar General literacy grant.
At its regular meeting the Waterloo Board of Education approved a package of routine personnel and contract items and accepted philanthropic and grant support.
Superintendent June asked the board to accept the resignation of cafeteria aide Marcy Hammonds, effective Aug. 27; the board moved, seconded and approved the resignation by roll call. The board also approved a leave of absence for custodian Juanita Saltzman (effective July 1), corrected 'extended days' allocations for several employees, and approved the district's list of substitute employees for the school year.
June asked the board to approve stipends for LPDC (certification oversight) committee members and to approve a stipend for a resident educator mentor required for newly certified teachers; both motions passed. The board also approved athletic support staff contracts (ticket takers, scoreboard operators) and supplemental contracts for coaches, advisors and detention duty.
On contracting and partnerships, the board approved a multi‑year agreement with Cintas for uniform and related services and an arrangement with occupational/physical‑therapy provider Lisa Deetsch (noting a favorable price and a three‑year term that does not lock the district to the provider). The board also approved an MOU with Ohio State University SNAP‑Ed to provide no‑cost nutrition‑education programming for qualifying students and a school food‑service vending agreement with the Portage Bridal Industry Council.
The board unanimously approved financial actions including acceptance of donations (a FLAC system valued at $6,759.92 from the Waterloo Youth Wrestling Association and limestone from Paul Allen Trucking) and granted authority to correct a purchase‑order date for Johnson Controls to satisfy audit requirements. The board also approved a $4,000 Dollar General Literacy Foundation grant and authorized creation of the related revenue and expense accounts so the funds can be spent on new library books.
"We wish her all the best," June said when presenting the resignation item, and after the grant approval the board offered public congratulations to the elementary school's successful grant application. Each of these items was moved, seconded and approved by roll call votes during the meeting.
