October 6, 2026 - Regular Meeting

The Groveport Madison Schools Board of Education regular meeting was identified in the metadata as October 6, 2026. The board approved a server-environment upgrade quote from Dayton Cincinnati Technology Services. The quote covers a turnkey replacement of the district’s hyperconverged server system, with warranty support and installation; the transcript does not give the total price. The treasurer said the price had risen by $11,000 after the original quote expired, with the reseller absorbing $5,000 of the increase, leaving a $6,000 increase to the district. The purchase would be paid from fund 03 rather than the general fund. The board also approved an OSBA board-workshop contract, described as costing $1,000 plus potential additional costs; the motion passed, with the meeting reporting a 3–2 result. The board authorized the superintendent to pursue modular classrooms from a neighboring district at essentially no acquisition cost, with moving and setup costs to be presented to the board later. The board also approved special-education agreements and annual appropriations, though amounts were not stated. A motion concerning Kegler Brown legal services and proposals related to social-media litigation was postponed to the first regular meeting in January; no law-firm selection or termination was approved during this discussion.

Other discussion included the district report card, student learning, playground and modular-building safety concerns raised during public comment, and facilities, transportation, and attendance boundaries. The board authorized the superintendent to begin an administrative facilities committee and work groups on facilities, redistricting, and transportation. Field-trip requests and payments in lieu of transportation were also approved. The district treasurer reported lower state funding, including a $1.6 million year-over-year decrease, but no additional procurement action was tied to that report.
