The Waterloo Board of Education approved a set of routine motions and votes during its regular meeting, including a principal and assistant principal salary grid, purchase/service agreements, contract adjustments and a five‑year financial forecast.
The board adopted the agenda and approved a salary grid for principals and assistant principals effective Aug. 1, 2024, after the superintendent presented the recommendation as a retention measure. The motion passed on a roll‑call vote.
The board approved purchase or service agreements with several providers, including LearnWell (student‑related services), Hazel Health (telehealth services provided at no cost under a state grant), Franklin University (student‑teacher partnerships) and Jefferson Educational Service Center for virtual learning academy services, which will enable credit recovery and access to online courses not currently offered locally.
The board also approved contract‑time adjustments for employees transferring time from an educational service center, issued substitute and supplemental contracts for the 2024–25 school year, accepted and processed a limited one‑year custodial contract, and approved a leave of absence for a bus driver for medical reasons. Motions on these items passed by roll call.
On finance matters, the board voted to approve the October financial statements, appropriation modifications (including carryover purchase orders and newly awarded grants), and participation in listed state and federal grant programs. The board also adopted the treasurer's five‑year forecast, which assumed a 30% reappraisal estimate, salary increases tied to negotiated agreements and annual bus purchases; the motion passed on roll call.
The meeting concluded with approval of a $5,400 donation from the Waterloo FX Boosters for basketball uniforms, adoption of a resolution to participate in the Ohio deferred compensation program for employees, and a roll‑call vote to recess into executive session to consider employment matters.
All actions referenced above were approved by motions and subsequent roll‑call votes during the meeting; specific line‑item votes were recorded in the meeting minutes.
