Board Policy Section 0164
The Annual Business Meeting of the Ohio School Boards Association Delegate Assembly convened on Monday, November 17 at 2:30.
The most important agenda item is voting on changes to the legislative platform. The most significant change was the addition of the following language:
OSBA SUPPORTS LEGISLATION THAT AFFIRMS THE AUTHORITY OF LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS TO MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING CURRICULUM, BUDGETING, STAFFING, AND SCHEDULING,......
ENSURES THAT LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS HAVE CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL RESERVES AND THE DISCRETION TO DETERMINE THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF LEVIES BASED ON LOCAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
OSBA OPPOSES LEGISLATION THAT UNDERMINES THE DECISION-MAKING AUTHORITY OF LOCALLY ELECTED BOARDS OF EDUCATION.
This language addresses recently enacted bills that permit other political entities to change voter approved school funding issues such as happened in several counties in Ohio in October. You may recall that Richland County school districts’ revenue was negatively impacted by an action of the Richland County Board of Commissioners in October.
The end of the meeting entailed debate on three resolutions by three boards of education seeking to change the language of the Racism/Equity planks of the legislative platform. After two hours of debate no resolution received the three quarter affirmative vote necessary to change the current language.
The meeting adjourned at 5:30.
Recommendation of Superintendent Gregory D. Nickoli that the following personnel recommendations be approved:
Recommendation of Superintendent Gregory D. Nickoli that the clinical agreement with Shelby Pointe be approved.
Recommendation of Superintendent Gregory D. Nickoli that the agreement with Mid-Ohio Service Center for an as needed Board Certified Behavior Analyst for the 2025-26 school year be approved.
Recommendation of Superintendent Gregory D. Nickoli that the Board enter into Executive Session to consider the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion or compensation of a public employee or official.
