SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT: Superintendent Cynthia Deevers presented the district's newly adopted strategic plan. The focus on the 2024-2025 academic year was on Academics, Communication, and Fiscal Responsibility. Those have been the three areas of focus, but Safety encompasses all three of these areas. With the new plan effective 2025-2028, Safety is reflected in Goal 3. The Vision for the district is that all Streetsboro Students will experience success at all levels. The Mission is to partner with family and community to create an inclusive environment that inspires and empowers students. Core values include decision-making to put students first, a safe learning environment for all, clear communication with stakeholders, and long-term financial success. Ms. Deevers highlighted the key objectives and key success indicators for district goals. Goals include: Student Academic Growth, Expanded Opportunities for Student Future Preparedness, School Safety and Climate, Fiscal Responsibility, Public Relations and Communications, and Hire and Retain Quality Personnel.
TREASURER’S REPORT: The district is fiscally about where it was last year at this time. There was a large payment that hit this year to cover severance packages for the retirement incentives given in the previous year. That payment was around 1.2 million. The treasurer's office is currently working through a system issue that is expected to be resolved by the next meeting. Wages and other expenses continue to climb, while funding remains flat. That is why the district must continually return to the community to request additional funding through levies.
CHIEF BUSINESS OFFICER REPORT: The PTA reached out to the business office for help with a fundraising program called “Magic Gives Back”. The program came with a large spec sheet. The specifications have been met, and a rental agreement has been made for the PTA and “Magic Gives Back” to host the program.
BOARD REPORTS: A rundown of the Fall Sports won-loss record was given. The Strategic Plan was presented to the PTA and received a positive response. The PTA is seeking volunteers to assist with various events.
