# Medina City Schools Board of Education Meeting 10/20/26

Medina City Schools Board of Education regular meeting, October 20, 2026. The board discussed a baseball and softball facilities upgrade, including turf, removable bases to support youth use, and 30-foot backstop netting to address balls entering nearby areas and creating safety risks. The project was estimated at about $600,000; a $400,000 Senate Bill 450 grant was reported as awarded and guaranteed, with approximately $200,000 raised through youth programs, boosters, families, businesses, and foundations. The district said current field maintenance costs are about $35,000 annually and discussed redirecting some future maintenance funds toward turf replacement. The board approved the superintendent’s consent agenda, which included a service agreement with Vasco for the baseball and softball project, along with other actions. The transcript does not clearly identify a separate vote on the full capital project.

Other discussion included a proposed school reconfiguration, being developed with committee and staff feedback in response to declining enrollment and financial considerations; further details are expected at a December committee meeting. The board also heard curriculum and student-program presentations, reviewed the district’s four-star state report card, and discussed a draft resolution supporting the 40 by 2040 initiative for possible consideration in November. No vote on that resolution was taken at this meeting.
