Board approves April financials, accepts donations and bans unauthorized ransomware payments
Summary
The Claymont City Board of Education approved April financial reports, mid‑year appropriation amendments, accepted donations totaling $5,100 for a new high‑school digital sign and adopted a resolution prohibiting unauthorized ransomware payments under Ohio Revised Code 9.64.
The Claymont City Board of Education on May 11 approved routine financial items and adopted a formal resolution that prohibits district employees from authorizing or making ransomware payments absent a formal board resolution in line with Ohio Revised Code 9.64.
The board voted to approve the April 2026 financial report, payment of bills, minutes from April 13, 2026 and mid‑year amendments to appropriations and estimated revenues. The district also approved a $2,300 renewal with MinuteMen HR for workers’ compensation services and accepted two donations for the Claymont High School digital board: $5,000 from the Tusky VFW and $100 from the Dennison Rotary. The roll call for the treasury items was recorded in favor of the motion by Mrs. Host, Mrs. Grandison, Ms. Campbell, Mr. Peters and Mrs. Wolf.
The ransomware resolution, included among Treasury items, states that “no employee, officer, or agent of the District shall authorize, negotiate, or make any ransomware payment or otherwise comply with a ransom demand unless expressly approved by formal resolution of the Board of Education in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 9.64.” The board recorded the motion as carried.
The approvals keep the district’s fiscal operations on schedule as it prepares budgets and planned capital work for the coming year. The board did not table any of the listed items; all moved forward as presented.
