Summary

The board approved a memorandum of understanding allowing student teachers to serve as paid substitutes in certain situations, accepted retirements and resignations, and approved one‑year limited contracts and substitute appointments for the 2025–26 year.

The board approved an MOU with the Waterloo Educators Association allowing student teachers to be paid as substitutes under specified conditions; the superintendent summarized the agreement and said it aligns with recent changes in state rules allowing student teachers to serve as paid classroom substitutes in certain cases. "So this is an agreement...the state of Ohio allowed student teachers to be paid as subs or sub classroom," the presenter said while explaining the MOU.

The board also accepted retirements (including Elizabeth Coops, speech and language specialist, retirement effective May 31), approved one‑year limited contracts (for example, David Moore as a bus driver and cafeteria assistant) and certified substitute appointments. These personnel actions were moved, seconded and passed by voice votes as part of routine business.
