The Mentor Exempted Village Board of Education held a special meeting on November 10, 2026, to interview the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) about consulting services for the district treasurer search. OSBA described its proposed recruitment and screening support, including candidate-profile development, outreach, application review, interviews, reference and background checks, and a post-hire leadership workshop. The proposal was $8,000, excluding travel and mileage; OSBA said it would reopen the search at no additional cost if the district did not find the right candidate. Board members discussed staff input, candidate availability, and a possible timeline, with hiring expected around mid- to late March if the process began after Thanksgiving.

The board also planned to discuss other consulting firms under consideration, but the transcript does not record a selection, contract award, or spending authorization. The only recorded motion and vote were to adjourn; it passed unanimously among the members called. No other procurement or budget decisions were identified.
