10-1-2026 Parma City School District Board of Education Special Meeting

The Parma City School District Board of Education held a special meeting/work session on October 1, 2026, to review the Ohio State Report Card. Administrators reported an overall four-star rating (3.25 points), with progress in several areas, including graduation, and a five-star rating for the district’s career-technical education program. The presentation examined achievement, student growth, gap closing, early literacy, graduation, and career-tech outcomes. Administrators attributed the district’s two-star early-literacy rating in part to changes in state calculations and described ongoing work to improve reading instruction, attendance, and student growth. Board members also discussed expanding students’ exposure to career-tech programs and noted that providing those programs in-district avoids the need for an additional levy to send students elsewhere.

The meeting was informational, with questions and discussion but no votes or spending-related action items identified. No contracts, bids, vendor selections, or procurement activity were discussed.
