# Sycamore Schools Board Meeting October 7, 2026

The Sycamore Community Schools Board met on October 7, 2026. The main discussion was a presentation on the Ohio school report card: the district earned five stars overall and improved to five stars in progress and gap closing. Presenters reviewed achievement, literacy, graduation, and workforce-readiness results, highlighted growth in several grade-level assessments, and discussed ongoing curriculum and scheduling changes, including additional time for fifth-grade math. Board members praised staff and students and noted that the report card does not capture the full range of student well-being and district work. The discussion also covered changes under Ohio House Bill 96 affecting the third-grade reading-guarantee exemption and questions about how state measures track workforce readiness and students with disabilities.

The board approved the September 23 meeting minutes and voted to approve out-of-town field trips and the personnel consent agenda. Although members referred to district investments in curriculum and instructional support, the transcript identifies no contract awards, bids, vendor selections, purchasing decisions, or specific procurement spending or amounts.
