July 9, 2026 - West Clermont Schools - Board of Education Meeting

The West Clermont School District Board of Education held a meeting on July 9, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The board authorized the superintendent and treasurer to negotiate and execute contracts with various vendors including Maxim, Hamilton Clermont Consortium, PowerAd, Johnson Controls, Rumpke, Hamilton County ESC, SHP (an architect firm), and Brightstar for the fiscal year July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Additionally, the board approved a request for proposals to seek new depository agreements with banking institutions, as required every five years, to manage the district's checking accounts. The board also approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of school improvement unlimited tax general obligation refunding bonds not to exceed $14.1 million, aimed at refinancing existing debt to save on interest costs. These financial and contracting actions reflect the district's efforts to manage fiscal responsibilities and maintain operational efficiency amid state funding reductions. No new contracts or vendor selections beyond those mentioned were detailed, and the board emphasized ongoing communication with the community and fiscal prudence.
