Marysville Exempted Village Schools March 20, 2025 BOE Meeting - Re-upload

The Marysville Exempted Village Schools Board of Education held a meeting on March 20, 2025, primarily focused on recognizing student achievements and discussing significant budget and staffing issues related to an upcoming school levy. The board reviewed a contingency plan that would reduce instructional hours and result in certified and classified staff reductions if the May 2025 levy does not pass. Specific cuts include reductions in art, music, physical education, STEM, technology, foreign language, and other academic positions across various school levels. The board approved motions to alter instructional hours and to enact the contingency plan for staff reductions contingent on levy failure. Additionally, the board discussed the development of a new math instructional framework aligned with evidence-based practices, with plans for implementation in the 2025-2026 school year. Legislative updates and financial reports highlighted challenges in school funding and the impact on student-teacher ratios and program offerings. The meeting underscored the critical role of community support for the levy to maintain current educational quality and staffing levels.
