Superintendent asked the board to approve a routine resolution allowing the Ohio Schools Council (OSC) to solicit competitive electricity bids on the district's behalf as part of the "Power for Schools" program. She said OSC has handled similar solicitations for the district in prior years.

"This is the the Ohio School Council electricity, purchase program... they will place bids," the superintendent said, adding that OSC will seek a new electricity rate and the district will then review any contract. She also requested permission to solicit current prices for a 78-passenger propane bus and an 84-passenger diesel bus, noting last year's price increases to approximately $150,000.
