# Finance & Personnel Board Committee Meeting (November 12, 2026)

The Riverside Local Schools Finance & Personnel Board Committee met on November 12, 2026. The committee discussed building repairs and possible funding following the failed levy. A roof project was estimated at approximately $10–12 million based on the 2023 facilities report and preliminary estimates, but the district has not obtained firm quotes; officials said they should bring roofing companies in to assess costs and compare repair approaches. Roofs, windows, HVAC, and future replacement needs at other schools were also raised. The committee discussed a possible time-limited income tax and tax anticipation notes (TANS) as funding options, while noting these would not support the previously proposed full high-school renovation and new-building plan. No procurement award or spending vote was reported.

The district reported that it contracted with the finance division of the Northeast Ohio ESC for a payroll audit. The audit examined internal controls, staffing and cross-training, operational efficiency, and automation; the administration expects to present a fuller report at the November 19 board meeting. No contract amount was stated. The committee also reviewed survey feedback from 869 respondents and discussed planning for a possible May levy, as well as staffing vacancies and anticipated retirements. No other procurement decisions or formal motions were identified.
