[2:52] involved in all of the cool
[2:53] opportunities that college and
[2:55] careermies has to offer
[2:56] » And working with nonprofit partners and

[12:05] Good evening.
[12:07] Good evening everyone and welcome to the
[12:09] September 21st, 2026 rules committee
[12:13] meeting of the Akran public school
[12:15] board. This meeting meets twice a month.
[12:18] I am committee chair Carmea Kelly and
[12:20] this evening I am joined by
[12:24] board president
[12:26] Barbara Sykes,
[12:29] board member Nathan Jeros, and board
[12:32] member Gregory Harrison.
[12:34] In addition to their attendance, we have
[12:37] Superintendent Utley in attendance along
[12:40] with several administrators that are
[12:43] joining us today. Thank all of you for
[12:46] joining us. In addition to those that
[12:48] are here with us in the presence, I also
[12:50] would like to acknowledge those that per
[12:53] possibly may be joining us online
[12:58] I want to take
[13:02] oh I want to take a moment to let the
[13:04] public know that the Akran public
[13:06] schools is currently migrating to a new
[13:09] board agenda and live stream platform.
[13:12] We held our first soft launch this past
[13:15] Wednesday during our committee meetings
[13:17] and tonight we will and tonight will be
[13:21] our final soft launch as we prepare for
[13:24] a full transition for next Monday at our
[13:26] regular schoolboard meeting. As with any
[13:30] new platform, there may be a few kinks
[13:33] along the way. So, please be patient
[13:35] with all of us as we're learning this
[13:37] new technology. We kindly ask for your
[13:40] patience and understanding as we may
[13:42] work through any issues that may arise.
[13:45] We appreciate your continued support and
[13:48] patience as we make this transition and
[13:51] work to provide an improved experience
[13:54] not only for our board meetings but most
[13:58] importantly for our live streams as th
[14:01] for those of you who may stream will
[14:04] watch the meetings live stream. Thank
[14:06] you for your understanding.
[14:10] At this moment, I also would like to
[14:13] approve the previous minutes for from
[14:17] our previous meeting which was held on
[14:19] September 7th.
[14:20] » So move.
[14:22] » Is there a second?
[14:24] » Second.
[14:27] [laughter]
[14:28] » Well, you need to second it.
[14:30] » Second.
[14:32] I would like to also ask is there anyone
[14:35] here to speak for for or from the
[14:39] public? Excuse me.
[14:42] It doesn't appear that we have anyone
[14:43] here from the public to speak. We will
[14:46] next we will
[14:51] » I also would like to take the time to
[14:53] acknowledge that our vice or our
[14:56] co-chair and vice president Dr. Renee
[14:59] Molinar is not here with us today.
[15:04] As we move through the agenda, I would
[15:07] also like to
[15:10] or before we discuss new topics, I would
[15:14] like to take the time out to acknowledge
[15:17] um and share the floor with our board
[15:19] president, President Sykes.
[15:22] » Thank you, Madam Chair, Madame Chair,
[15:24] and members of the board as well as
[15:27] member of the community. you know at the
[15:29] last uh finance committee meeting uh
[15:32] questions came up about our north high
[15:34] school project and uh so this is our
[15:38] first meeting that we have had that I
[15:41] can discuss this as well as this is
[15:43] rules committee so therefore rules
[15:45] committee is a committee that we also
[15:48] look at how we can proceed in solving
[15:51] issues and concerns that may come before
[15:53] the board as a whole so in looking at
[15:55] what's happening with the north high
[15:57] school project. What I am doing uh
[16:00] tonight is appointing an ad hoc
[16:03] committee to study
[16:05] uh our north high school project. Uh if
[16:08] take a look at policy 0155, it states
[16:12] that uh an ad hoc committee may be
[16:15] crafted and changed at any time by the
[16:17] president. And so I am doing that. I am
[16:20] appointing all board members to an ad
[16:23] hoc committee to study the north high
[16:26] school project as well as superintendent
[16:28] arley and superintendent buyers.
[16:32] Uh the purpose of the meeting I would
[16:35] ask this is that when ad hoc it is a
[16:38] temporary for a particular purpose and
[16:40] the particular purpose is to uh make
[16:44] sure that we gather all the information
[16:46] that we need that we review the plan the
[16:49] cost where the money is coming from in a
[16:52] timely
[16:53] way and
[16:55] receive and make sure that you bring
[16:57] those recommendations back to the
[17:00] community and the board as a Oh, now uh
[17:04] one of the concerns that have come up
[17:07] has to do with the core meeting. So, as
[17:10] we look at looking at an ad hoc
[17:13] committee to study what's happening with
[17:15] North High School, it is tempting to say
[17:19] let's just throw in middle South and um
[17:24] Fifer. Uh but it is clear that the core
[17:27] meeting is an administrative meeting.
[17:31] And it is a meeting that the
[17:33] administrative has uh the superintendent
[17:36] has set up for her administration to
[17:38] look at various issues that may come up
[17:42] under construction. So it's a day-to-day
[17:44] operation which is not the board's
[17:46] responsibility.
[17:48] The board members are responsible for
[17:50] big picture issues and should not get do
[17:52] bogged down into the day-to-day uh
[17:55] issues. Miss superintendent and her
[17:57] staff are very capable and competent and
[17:59] can handle that. However, uh board
[18:03] members uh do want to attend core
[18:05] meetings. Therefore, I am asking the
[18:08] treasurer if you would please send
[18:10] public notification and med media
[18:13] notifications the date of all times for
[18:16] core meetings and and notify the public
[18:20] and the media that board members are
[18:23] subject to attend core meetings. Again,
[18:26] the core meetings are not board
[18:29] meetings. They are not our meetings.
[18:32] they are the superintendent, her staff
[18:34] and whoever and however you choose to
[18:36] handle the core meetings. But board
[18:39] members do want to attend those
[18:41] meetings. So if the treasurer would give
[18:43] proper notification that board members
[18:46] are subject to attend those meetings and
[18:49] subject to be the majority of the board
[18:50] meetings, then we will cover the open
[18:53] meeting and sunshine law rules in that
[18:56] way. [snorts]
[18:57] meaning that any meeting that is
[18:59] pre-arranged or discussions of a
[19:01] business of the business of the school
[19:04] board should be it's not that board
[19:06] members cannot attend meetings it's just
[19:08] that we need to notify
[19:11] when board members will be there so I
[19:13] think that that will help uh to solve
[19:17] the issue that board members may have
[19:20] and attending core meetings uh the other
[19:23] part of this is the chain effect of
[19:26] members
[19:27] uh wanting to discuss a particular issue
[19:30] as it relates to construction or
[19:32] whatever it may be,
[19:35] talking to one person about it uh and
[19:38] then talking to another person about it
[19:40] and before we know it then we've had a
[19:42] chain effect and so we want to avoid
[19:45] that also. I think that if we send out
[19:48] notice to everyone that board members uh
[19:51] will be participating in the court
[19:52] meeting that that may that may solve
[19:55] that. I would also ask uh for the uh
[20:02] meeting what I for this ad hoc committee
[20:06] meeting I will appoint uh member Jerose
[20:10] to chair the meeting. Member Gerro I
[20:13] will ask you to do what I would expect
[20:15] every chair member to do. First, make
[20:18] sure that all members have an equal
[20:19] opportunity to ask questions, to
[20:21] participate, and to create a clear plan
[20:25] to complete the task in a timely manner
[20:28] by interacting with all board members.
[20:31] Making sure that all board members have
[20:33] the opportunity to participate, to ask
[20:36] questions, and to receive any and all
[20:38] information that may be coming to the ad
[20:41] hoc committee. I will ask the
[20:43] superintendent and the treasurer if you
[20:45] have any information that has been
[20:47] requested by anyone any particular board
[20:52] make sure that all board members receive
[20:54] the information and then finally Mr.
[20:57] Rose, I would ask that you uh summarize
[21:00] the results and that you uh provide the
[21:04] recommendation to this community as to
[21:08] how we should proceed with the North
[21:11] High School project.
[21:18] It is important that we make sure that
[21:20] we constantly are doing what uh we do in
[21:25] the eye of the public because we want to
[21:28] make sure that we are accountable.
[21:31] uh that we discourage any misconduct,
[21:35] that we reinforce trust in our
[21:38] governance, and that we explore
[21:42] uh and that we make sure that the public
[21:45] has an opportunity to participate in any
[21:48] discussion. So, member Gerro, as you
[21:51] begin, would you please let the
[21:53] treasurers know uh
[21:57] or ask the treasurer to send out notices
[22:00] of
[22:01] available dates so that all members can
[22:04] respond to the treasury as we usually do
[22:06] to determine when we are available to
[22:10] meet and knowing that those meetings uh
[22:14] should come as soon as possible. I know
[22:16] the community is anxious to find out
[22:18] what's happening with middle with the
[22:20] North High School. I know the members
[22:22] are anxious to find out what's happening
[22:24] to uh North High School. And then
[22:28] finally, let me just just make one point
[22:32] about uh
[22:34] this levy. So when we took a look at the
[22:38] levy and how much we should consider
[22:43] asking for the levy,
[22:46] uh members may remember may not remember
[22:49] that the original language consists of
[22:51] two levies.
[22:54] One levy was a language that dealt with
[22:58] operational
[23:00] because it was our position that because
[23:03] of House Bill 920
[23:06] uh we were not able to receive funds
[23:10] from levies that had been passed years
[23:13] back because of what? Because of
[23:15] inflation. So House Bill 920 said that
[23:18] we could not receive inflation funds. we
[23:23] we received the money from any levy as
[23:26] of the time period that we voted on that
[23:29] levy. So if it was 30 years ago that was
[23:31] it. So regardless of what happened since
[23:33] 30 years and how much inflation have
[23:36] taken place we were not able to receive
[23:38] any money uh from any past levies. So we
[23:42] needed a operational levy to try and at
[23:45] least accommodate some of the inflation
[23:48] that had taken place over the years. The
[23:51] second item dealt with North High School
[23:54] and building North High School. So, we
[23:57] actually ended up uh discussing how to
[24:00] proceed with this and the former
[24:03] treasurer uh recommendation was that we
[24:06] should combine the levies so that if
[24:09] quite frankly if a citizen voted for one
[24:12] part of the levy then both parts of the
[24:15] levy pass and that is in essence what
[24:18] happened. So the one levy was 7.6
[24:22] 7.6 which millage which generates $26
[24:26] million per year operational funds. The
[24:30] other part of the language indicated
[24:32] that we would uh
[24:35] provide a an amount that would equal to
[24:40] 85 million over a 37year period.
[24:44] normally is 30 but was this was over
[24:47] 37year period in order to build North
[24:51] High School. So that would go the
[24:54] maximum would be about 2.2
[24:57] 2.2 millillage each year. Right now I
[25:00] think per the treasur we're probably at
[25:02] like 1.26.
[25:04] So we have not met that 2.2 yet to
[25:07] generate the funds. uh we've we're
[25:09] generating the funds that we projected
[25:11] we put would each year and we did not we
[25:13] have not made it to the 2.2. So where we
[25:16] are now so right now annually we are
[25:19] receiving 26 million operating expenses
[25:22] from the levy that was passed plus the
[25:25] 85 million
[25:27] um over the 37y year time period. If you
[25:32] add the 26 million the 85 million it is
[25:35] $111 million. So that's how we arrived
[25:39] at the hund00 million. Uh part of it was
[25:43] operated. It was not
[25:46] all North High School. It has only been
[25:49] $85 million for the North High School
[25:52] from beginning to the end. Today and
[25:56] tomorrow 85 million is what it was
[25:59] projected that we would need in order to
[26:02] uh build
[26:04] uh North High School. So having said
[26:06] that, we will proceed with the ad hoc
[26:09] committee. I would just ask the
[26:11] superintendent and treasurer or any
[26:12] members if you have any questions on
[26:14] anything that I just said.
[26:19] » I do not have any questions, Madam
[26:21] President. Thank you,
[26:22] » Mr. uh treasurer.
[26:25] » Okay.
[26:26] All righty. So Okay.
[26:35] I I'm not sure if we'll be able to
[26:36] notice this week's meeting, but we will
[26:39] definitely get next week's meeting on
[26:40] the on the books as soon as possible.
[26:42] » I know we we are within that time. We
[26:44] won't be able to, but at least we're
[26:46] announcing it now. And we can call the
[26:49] press and let them know that board
[26:51] members are subject to attend the core
[26:53] meeting. Is that Wednesday at what time?
[26:57] » One o'clock.
[26:57] » Wednesday at one one o'clock. And going
[27:00] forward, yeah, we would be in the uh
[27:03] adequate the length of time that the
[27:06] policy requires that we do. Thank you.
[27:09] Appreciate it. But would you get that
[27:10] out anyway? Uh, treasurer, even though
[27:13] it may be less time for the
[27:15] notification, but would you please could
[27:17] you still get that out by tomorrow?
[27:20] » Okay. Thank you. Appreciate that. All
[27:22] righty. Thank you, Madame Chair, for
[27:24] allowing me to make those comments.
[27:27] » Uh, thank you, President Sykes. Um

[27:33] information with us and um regarding the
[27:37] the ad hoc committee member Jeros JRO
[27:40] excuse me I look forward to um the work
[27:42] that you along with the other board
[27:44] members um including myself are able to
[27:46] accomplish.
[27:48] Um at this time I would like to uh we
[27:50] will start working through our agenda

[1:02:13] unique. So I wanted to bring that to

[1:02:17] And then item 23 is the donation of 321
[1:02:20] books for all ages from books a million

[1:03:18] that we provide for our students in our
[1:03:21] district that um need those additional

[1:03:25] whomever donated those items to uh
[1:03:28] project rise and the families that
[1:03:30] utilize those services.
[1:03:32] We will now move forward to agenda item
[1:03:35] 20.02.
[1:03:37] This is a resolution accepting the OSCA
[1:03:40] school counselor programming grant and
[1:03:43] under resolution number 26152.
[1:03:47] It is in the amount of $500 for bookal
[1:03:50] CLC from the OCA school counseling
[1:03:54] program grant. It is designated to go
[1:03:57] directly there and will foster an

[1:04:17] approve the acceptance of the $500
[1:04:19] grant, it will be assigned to fund
[1:04:21] 0192762.
[1:04:26] Does the committee recommend placing
[1:04:27] agenda item 20.02 on the consent agenda?
[1:04:32] » So move.
[1:04:32] » Are there any objections by the
[1:04:34] committee or board members?
[1:04:36] Hearing no objections, I recom I
[1:04:38] recommend placing agenda item 20.02 on
[1:04:40] the consent agenda. Agenda item 20.03.
[1:04:48] Okay. I don't happen to have that one.
[1:04:50] Just a moment. Please
[1:04:51] » Take your time.
[1:04:55] Oh, that's my chiller. All right. I had
[1:04:57] it down here as 20.04. I apologize.
[1:05:01] » No, thank you. Again, this is we're all
[1:05:03] learning this new software together. So,
[1:05:06] some sometimes there's some minor
[1:05:08] mistakes, but that doesn't mean that we
[1:05:10] can't correct them.
[1:05:11] » At the finance committee meeting, and as
[1:05:13] the board um members are well aware, we
[1:05:16] had vandalism of the air conditioning
[1:05:18] units at East over the Labor Day
[1:05:20] holiday. And at the time, in order to
[1:05:24] get the school cool as we were still
[1:05:26] into the heating season, we worked with
[1:05:28] Gardener Service Company to rent a
[1:05:31] mobile unit that was actually placed
[1:05:34] onto the property the following
[1:05:35] Thursday, and we were able to lower the
[1:05:38] temperatures that were found to be at
[1:05:39] 90° inside on Wednesday to 72 the
[1:05:43] following morning. What this uh urgent
[1:05:45] necessity resolution is asking is for
[1:05:48] approval to actually rent the uh mobile
[1:05:52] unit we have had placed under urgent
[1:05:54] necessity at the uh one month rate of
[1:05:58] $26,000
[1:06:00] uh for us to keep the school operating
[1:06:03] and cool as we make the repair. Please
[1:06:05] be advised this has been filed with a
[1:06:08] police report. The police report has
[1:06:11] also uh included a security video that
[1:06:14] we were able to obtain to this location
[1:06:17] during the vandalism that happened at
[1:06:19] 2:20 in the morning of the morning of
[1:06:22] Labor Day. And we also have filed the
[1:06:24] insurance claim and have started this
[1:06:26] process and part of this will be part of
[1:06:29] that claim as well. So we're asking for
[1:06:31] the board to allow us to approve that
[1:06:34] rental of this unit for the one month
[1:06:36] while we get the repair. I also have an
[1:06:39] advisement. As of today, we had uh
[1:06:42] Gardner and Johnson provide us repair
[1:06:46] um services for the units that were
[1:06:48] damaged and through the insurance
[1:06:51] company. It has been determined that
[1:06:52] Gardener would be the supplier of the
[1:06:55] repair due to the shorter time frame
[1:06:58] also to be covered under our insurance
[1:07:00] policy. I got that information at 2:30
[1:07:02] this afternoon. So, I wanted to see if
[1:07:05] we could see see this urgent necessity
[1:07:07] move forward and obtain and issue the
[1:07:10] purchase order so that we could engage
[1:07:12] and finalize this urgent issue to put a
[1:07:15] mobile unit on the back of the school to
[1:07:17] keep it cool.
[1:07:20] » Does the committee recommend uh placing
[1:07:22] agenda item
[1:07:24] 20.03 on the consent agenda?
[1:07:28] » Member Harrison.
[1:07:30] » Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I
[1:07:32] have a question. Is is this um
[1:07:35] resolution is this these funds coming
[1:07:37] out the 034 fund or is this general
[1:07:39] fund?
[1:07:40] » It would be 034 to start the purchase
[1:07:42] order but the reimbursement below or
[1:07:45] anything I should say above our
[1:07:47] deductible will reimburse the 034 funds.
[1:07:50] » Thank you.
[1:07:50] » You're welcome.
[1:07:54] » Does the committee or board members have
[1:07:56] additional questions?
[1:08:00] Uh, no additional questions, but I would
[1:08:03] just recommend that we put it on the uh,
[1:08:06] regular agenda in the event that some
[1:08:08] other board members may have questions
[1:08:10] about it.
[1:08:12] » Thank you, President Sykes.
[1:08:15] We're recommending the committee is
[1:08:16] recommending that agenda item 20.03 be
[1:08:18] placed on the regular agenda.

[1:08:25] us. We will now move forward to agenda
[1:08:28] item 20.01.

[1:08:34] again for th those of you that are uh
[1:08:36] following us, um there are 27 items that
[1:08:40] we will review under business affairs.
[1:08:46] We will start with agenda item 21.01.

[1:09:15] within the Kyoka Falls school district

[1:09:34] » Okay. Thank you.
