Administrators said the work will be completed over the summer and is more extensive than routine asphalt patching; the middle‑school drive had been deferred from the previous year to avoid rework during possible campus master‑planning changes. The project includes pothole repair and resurfacing to improve bus circulation and reduce mid‑year maintenance disruptions.

A board member confirmed the contract applies to the existing drives and not to a future planned connector drive. The district noted bids came in at a competitive level and that work was scheduled for the summer to limit interference with school operations.

Ending: The measure passed by roll call vote 5‑0; the facilities and transportation departments will schedule the contractor work and report completion to the board.

Approved personnel actions include multiple new hires across grade bands and special education, extended‑day contracts for speech pathologists and guidance counselors, and summer and ESY (extended school year) staff. The board recognized two long‑serving certified employees who announced retirements: Don Ferrante, a high school math teacher and track coach with 32 years of service, and Todd Lasall, an elementary fourth‑grade teacher with 27 years of service.

Building principals described their hiring processes and introduced several of the recommended candidates at the meeting. High school principal Jacob (principal) explained the multi‑stage interview and teaching‑audition process for secondary positions and introduced hires including Nathan Godsey (math) and Emily Zemko (math). Middle and elementary principals introduced hires for intervention specialist, grade‑level and early‑grade positions and praised candidates’ classroom experience and fit with building teams.

The board also approved a memorandum of understanding with the Brecksville–Broadview Heights Education Association to align certain retirement payout and benefits timing for educators affected by changes in STRS (State Teachers Retirement System) rules; the MOU passed by roll call vote 5‑0. The superintendent and administrators thanked staff for managing an extensive hiring season and noted the district will post remaining hires as they are finalized.

Ending: The consent agenda containing personnel approvals passed 5‑0. Administrators asked the board to welcome new hires at an upcoming reception and to recognize retiring staff in future events.

Treasurer Greg told the board the forecast is a planning tool that uses conservative revenue assumptions and shows the district’s cash balance declining over the period absent new revenue. \"This is just a planning tool,\" he said during his presentation, summarizing how the projection should be used to guide discussion rather than to lock in a final decision.

Key points presented to the board included: projected local revenue remains the district’s largest source; property tax reappraisals and reduction factors limit immediate new state aid; the district’s tax increment financing (TIF) revenue is expected to grow modestly (the presentation cited an increase from roughly $330,000 to about $900,000 annually by fiscal 2029 under the model used); and personnel costs and benefits make up about 86% of the budget. Under the forecast’s assumptions, the treasurer said the district would hold roughly $10.7 million in unrestricted cash in fiscal 2029, equivalent to about 62 days of cash on hand.

The presentation highlighted legislative risks that could materially change the outlook, including proposed property tax reforms and House and Senate proposals under consideration in Columbus. The treasurer noted continued uncertainty about the state’s fair school funding actions and cited potential constitutional‑level proposals affecting property tax revenue as a major risk to long‑term planning.

Board members and administrators discussed timing for a potential operating levy if needed. The presentation modeled a hypothetical 4.5‑mill operating levy placed into planning as a midterm option; under current projections, the district’s planning horizon for action falls roughly in fiscal 2027 with collections beginning in fiscal 2028 if voters approve a ballot measure. Board members emphasized the forecast will be revisited at regular intervals and used to inform community discussions rather than to set a definitive levy plan tonight.

Ending: The board approved the forecast 5‑0 and directed staff to continue monitoring legislative developments, TIF revenue projections and retirements/hiring impacts for future forecast updates.

The discussion centered on three appraisals performed in 2018, 2021 and 2022 that, the board was told, show roughly $185,000 (about 26%) appreciation across the four‑year span. Board members noted the district’s carrying costs are minimal — the only recurring cost mentioned was a utility/sewage bill under $500 — and that proceeds from any sale would be restricted to the district’s permanent improvement (PI) fund rather than the operating budget.

Board members outlined options available under state law: a public sale to the highest bidder, or a property swap with another public entity. As an example of the swap option they cited an earlier land exchange with the city of Brecksville tied to the district’s new elementary school project. Members also noted the parcel is currently zoned single‑family residential, and that any alternate use (for example, a storage or district facility) would likely require rezoning and approvals from local authorities.

During the exchange, several trustees argued the district should “stay the course” and keep the property as a strategic reserve for potential future needs such as the district’s campus master planning or unforeseen capital repairs; other trustees cautioned that relying on future appreciation carries risk and said proceeds from a sale could fund immediate facility priorities. No motion to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the property was made or adopted at the meeting.

The board agreed to keep the item on its radar for future discussion as part of broader facilities and permanent improvement planning.

Ending: The board took no formal action at the May 28 meeting; members asked staff to keep the property and its appraisals in future planning materials and to revisit options if district needs or the local fiscal picture change.","The Brecksville–Broadview Heights Board of Education reviewed recent appraisals and options for the roughly 20‑acre West Mill property, heard arguments for holding the site as a strategic, low‑cost asset and for selling or trading it, and did not adopt a sale or other binding decision.","actionData","errors"]
