SMFCSD Board Meeting 2026-05-04

The Stow-Munroe Falls City School District Board of Education held a meeting on May 4, 2026, focusing significantly on budgetary and procurement matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of contracts for services with the Summit County Educational Service Center, TCCSA for financial reconciliation assistance, and NEONET for technology support services. The board also reviewed and approved personnel recommendations and reductions totaling $1.2 million for the 2026-27 school year, including elimination of teaching and administrative positions and reductions in supplemental contracts. Additionally, the board discussed and approved a district-wide building use fee schedule and considered policy changes related to open enrollment and tuition, ultimately moving to phase out open enrollment and implement a tuition fee structure to address budget shortfalls. The meeting also covered levy ballot research with timelines for potential levy resolutions to address funding needs. Several motions related to contracts, staffing, and policy changes were passed by roll call vote during the meeting.
