The administrator leading the report (unnamed) said the governor’s budget and the version passed by the Ohio House start from different funding inputs; both would leave the district with less state funding than current-year levels in the presenter’s simulations. “So right now as it stands, though, the governor’s budget, we lose funding. The house budget, we lose funding,” the administrator said, noting the legislature still must reconcile proposals and that a final budget is expected by June 30.

Administrators also reviewed the district’s March financial analytics and ongoing forecasting from an outside vendor (Frontline/Forecast by Analytics) and said staff would continue to monitor developments from the Ohio House, the governor and the Senate as budget negotiations proceed.

On student services and enrollment, administrators reported kindergarten registration at 103 students as of the Tuesday before the meeting, compared with about 68 at the same point the previous year. The district said it would continue tracking registrations through the summer and make staffing decisions (such as whether to add a kindergarten section) in early August.

The administrative report also covered health preparedness and extracurricular matters. The district said it has not had a measles case in the county but reviewed counts of unvaccinated students and noted a single-dose measles vaccine is about 93 percent effective; staff said they were monitoring public-health guidance and were prepared to act if cases appear. The presentation included a brief summary of recent student events (signing day, prom logistics) and recognition of Gabriela Peters, a North Elementary kindergarten teacher, as the board’s member-of-the-month for organizing a fundraising “bunny breakfast.”

Capital maintenance was addressed: administrators announced the district will replace the roof over the industrial-arts wing this summer (the drafting room, weight room and wood shop), using funds from the district’s permanent improvement account and state-term pricing; staff said the work is not a patch but a full new roof for that section.

Those operational and capital items were informational in the public portion of the meeting; the board later approved related contracts and consent items under the consent calendar.

A single registered public participant, Trenton Horsey, was listed for public participation; the public-comment excerpt in the transcript was brief and did not contain substantive requests recorded in the public minutes.

The superintendent and administrative staff said they will return to the board with updates as the state budget process unfolds and as enrollment and staffing needs for fall are finalized.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Madison Local Schools Board of Education Meeting 4-17-25 6:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","At the April 17 meeting administrators told the board that proposed state budgets would reduce district funding, reported 103 kindergarten registrations to date, reviewed measles-preparedness and announced a planned reroofing of the industrial-arts wing this summer.","taxTitle","Madison Local, School Districts, Ohio","taxId",54729,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6267792,"Madison Local board approves routine contracts, hires and service agreements; moves to executive session",1800,48000,1848000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3062904-0ef07712aeb915a47e03854ba987a92a&start=48&end=1848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3062904-0ef07712aeb915a47e03854ba987a92a/thumbnail_48000.jpg","/articles/6267792/Ohio/Madison-Local-board-approves-routine-contracts-hires-and-service-agreements-moves-to-executive-session","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6267792-4c446960814095385ca984900e4dfa7e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181694&Signature=M2n3cJJ4DXq~lizcPOsQfPH~8F2~z62aVhmznLeEqTyCd65s6rd-V1KzyW5GYvhFbD5vtfFUn39zeaAM9AgeLryhxMO2BqzcM0O2vGnA9fUwtWPLTsnvfdxbcQxzz2eN4FHoLGQVIIrc39KaZn6eJgipQDbbfqLVbSOgcZxiRFFrZEUNZ9TEv~3i~FjTnVxMa5~qq-RsPXOAPXn1EAZUUi9etitm3VGpVaczvjAKLv8NZO-wsp3yt5if6iLTuYZ9h7gAXyWoszln4uh7M4npnlYHFl8wyZpcHUzNCY3PzS67wypqv-L9t98vBS3v8J1e77OWSMHbFAUCxa~mFC-mAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Madison Local School District Board of Education on April 17 approved a slate of routine items including its March financial report, a set of personnel contracts and multiple consent-calendar contracts and donations, then voted to move into executive session to discuss personnel matters.

The board accepted the treasurer’s financial statements for the nine months ending March 31, 2025; approved a package of donations to Madison High School and Madison Middle School; issued several employment and continuing contracts; adopted a second reading of routine board-policy updates provided by Neola; and approved a service agreement with the Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve. The board also authorized a contract to rent facilities and catering for Madison High School’s prom at the Lodge and Conference Center at Geneva on the Lake.

Treasurer (unnamed) summarized the March statements, saying the district had received $31,457,097.08 in all funds through March and had spent $29,379,120.97, leaving a reconciled balance of $14,023,085.79. The treasurer told the board those figures represent nine months of the fiscal year that ends June 30.

Board members moved and seconded the various motions and approved them by roll call; where the roll call was recorded, votes were unanimous in favor. After the consent-calendar approvals, the board approved a motion to enter executive session for appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion or compensation of public employees or regulated individuals.

Votes at a glance: agenda approval — approved (unanimous); minutes from the previous regular meeting — approved (unanimous); March financial statements — approved (unanimous); donations (multiple donors to high school and middle school, including Madison boosters and individual donors) — accepted (unanimous); employment actions (limited substitute teacher contracts, day-to-day substitutes, and continuing contracts for named staff) — approved (unanimous); second reading of board-policy updates (Neola-recommended revisions) — approved (unanimous); consent calendar (program of studies for Madison High School 2025–26, addition of Retzel and Andres to approved attorney list, service agreement with Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve for 07/01/2025–06/30/2027, and prom contracts with Lodge and Conference Center at Geneva on the Lake) — approved (unanimous); motion to move into executive session on personnel — approved (unanimous).

The financial report, personnel actions and the multi-year service agreement will take effect as written in the motions and in the contracts filed with the board office. Several items approved under the consent calendar were noted as “on file at the board office” and were not read in full during the meeting.

Board President (unnamed) opened the meeting and led routine roll-call votes; details of individual mover/second attributions were not specified in the public transcript for each motion.","At its April 17, 2025, meeting the Madison Local School District Board of Education approved routine agenda items including financial statements, personnel contracts, donations and a multi-year service agreement; the board then voted to enter executive session on personnel matters.","actionData","errors"]
