LAST WEEK IN YOUR SCHOOL BOARD
The School Board met on September 12th for its’ September Regular School Board Meeting. Some highlights from the meeting. North Royalton Stadium Foundation presented the ribbon cutting ceremony scissors the Board. A few members of the community addressed the Board during the public participation portion of the meeting. Barbara Ann Zindroski and Bonnie Simonelli urged the Board to audio record all its Special or Work Session Meetings and post them online. Currently the Board only records the Regular School Board meetings and posts them online. During the meeting I made a motion to add a Resolution to approve Board Bylaw 0169.4 Taping of all Special Board Meetings to the board agenda for a roll call vote. After a very heated debate the board vote 2-3 on the motion to add it to the agenda for a roll call vote, motion was defeated. Voting yes Hannan and Langshaw; voting no President Reinkober, Vice President Reinhard, and Dolezal. I think it’s terrible that the majority wouldn’t even allow an up or down vote on this. It is terrible in this day and age the board refuses to be more transparent and accessible to local taxpayers. Thank you to all those who have urged for me to keep bringing this up. Unfortunately I have done all that I can do and it is clear that board is against this. Board approved authorization for the treasurer to request advances on 2012 tax settlements. The Board also approved 2011-2012 appropriation adjustments. Also the Board approved various service agreements special education services and for St. Albert the Great for the 2011-2012 school year. Board also approved various resignations, appointments, and supplemental contracts. In addition the Board approved the official bus stops for the 2011-12 school year. The Board approved also various other agenda items, and such other matters that came before the Board.
