So, good evening everyone. On behalf of the Twinsburg Board of Education, I want to welcome all of you to tonight's meeting. A lot has happened over the past few weeks and while transitions can bring challenges, they also bring opportunities for growth, connection, and renewed purpose. Tonight, we are excited and grateful as Mr. Steve Marlo is being recommended to serve as
003interim superintendent for the 2526 school year. Mr. Marlo is no stranger to the Twinsburg City School District. He previously served as superintendent and both he and his wife are proud graduates of Twinsburg. His wife, sister, and mother are also retired educators from our district. Since retiring, Mr. Marlo has continued to support district across the region in various leadership um capacities. His deep roots in our community and strong educational background make him a great fit for this transitional role. Steve is ready to jump in, build meaningful relationships, and help foster a positive culture for both our staff and families. He is committed to ensuring we have a strong and successful start to the school year and will be a valuable partner in maintaining stability and momentum throughout the year. We are especially appreciative of Steve's willingness
004to step in for this one-year term as he plans to move to Columbus next year to be closer to his family. We are excited to welcome him back to Twinsburg and look forward to working alongside him as he lends his expertise not only in lending our district this school year but also in supporting the process to select our permanent superintendent for the 2627 school year. The board will be working closely with the right agency to launch that search search process. Our goal is to include staff, students, families, and the broader community to ensure we find the right long-term leader for Twinsburg. I'll also like to extend a heartful thank you to Mr. Michael Setlick, our HR director, who stepped up to serve as interim superintendent over the past month, even while on vacation and during
005the peak of hiring season. Michael, we are so grateful for your commitment, flexibility, and continued support of this district during a demanding time. A special thanks as well to our treasurer Julie Rose Nia and our directors Matt Strickland um um Jen Farley and Brian Bandera um for everything you've done to help keep things running smoothly through behind the scenes. Um I also want to give a big shout out to Matt Strickland and our operations team for their work during the recent power outage. Matt coordinate efforts with First Energy and our staff to restore service and keep the facilities running. I want to um also recognize Brandon Jameson who provided overnight security from 1000 pm to 6:00 am. Gary Van Meter, Dave Bolley, Betsy Male, Jean Timbers, and Rhonda Sek who took fire um watch shifts
006from 400 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. all while managing their regular responsibilities, often without power or lightning. You all went above and beyond, and we thank you. We are also pleased to welcome new staff to our district, including Miss Rebecca Sabry, our new vocal music teacher and showquire director for RBC and Twinsburg High School. With over 15 years of experience in a proven track record in both concert and show choir, she brings tremendous talent and energy to our music program. Her students consistently earn top rankings, and her leadership has helped countless young people grow in vocal technique, confidence, and performance. Tonight, we are also looking forward to approving the hiring of Stephanie Terki, and I'm sorry if I'm messing up everyone's last name, as the new administrative assistant in our athletic department, which is a critical
007role that we're thrilled to fill as we prepare for the school year ahead. Our principles will be will be returning at the end of the month, and we're excited for a strong, positive start to the 2526 school year. And finally, twins is just around the corner on August 2nd and 3rd, and continues to be one of my favorite volunteer events. This beloved tradition brings our community together and serves as a major fundraiser for our Twinsburg athletic boosters. Um there are currently volunteer opportunities for the ticket booth, parking team, and shuttle drivers, which is adults only. And um this is a great opportunity to volunteer because it will support our athletic teams, earn student service hours, as well as have fun um while doing it. Um spots are limited so we want to encourage the families
008to sign up today. Um you can find details and sign up links available through the district and booster club websites as well as social media. And as we wrap up July, I just hope everyone finds time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the final stretch of the summer. Don't forget to do your summer reading and stay safe while traveling. And we can't wait to see everyone back in August. And this ends my president's report. So I'll to turn it over to you. >> Good evening board. Good evening community. Um thank you for the accolades. I am honored to serve as the interim superintendent even for a short time. Um but I am very excited to work with Mr. Marlo again. Uh we worked a little bit in Hudson together. Uh you took a lot of my
009updates with regards to the building projects, but the electrical project that is completed. Um we had to shut down the board office for a few days. So appreciate uh the community's flexibility with that. Um and again, Mr. Strickland, John Summers, the entire department for their efforts in making that um transition as seamless as possible. Um and especially the tech team trying to I know how long it takes to reboot my internet at home, so doing it for the whole district is a feat. So thank you to Jen Farthing and the tech department. Uh we also have many other projects around the district that are going uh extremely well including the roof replacement at RBC. And as I hear the thunder and lightning outside, it is still on schedule, even a little ahead of schedule. Um
010so let's hope that the rain doesn't hinder that uh nor more lightning. Um and as you stated, this has been a busy hiring season with the buyout earlier this year for our certified staff. Uh we've had quite a few resignations or retirements and our classified staff. Um our building administrators have been doing an excellent job of getting those uh interview scheduled and same with our district administrators. Um there are a lot of positions to fill. We want to find the best people for our students. So we do take time to do that, but we're working to make sure we're fully staffed on August 14th, which is one month away. So, uh, lots going on even during the summer. We're really excited to have the kids back soon. I'm sure the parents are excited to have
011the kids back soon. I'm not sure the kids are ready to be back soon, but we're excited because they're the ones that breathe life into the building. So, thank you. And thank you. >> Thank you. Is there any reports? >> Not this one. >> All right. I will turn it over to Julia. >> Good evening, everyone. Good evening, Board of Education and our guests and community. It is my pleasure to um do my usual fiscal year end presentation just to go over some of the highlights of the district and also some state and national um items that um in turn they are actually affecting our business life here in the school district as well. Um so the finance team in a school district serves as a custodian for all district monies, records all receipts and
012pays all the district financial obligations, pay salaries and maintains tax records for about 536 district employees with approximately 745 positions throughout the district. certifies all financial records needed for the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. Works with the superintendent to prepare the district budget and invest all district funds to maximize returns and maintain high bond rating for the district. Um so on the next slide I have um some information to where uh most of our funds are going. Um the classroom spending information is coming from the most recent available 2023 24 report card issued by the state and it reflects that 70.3% of our um general fund monies go directly to the classroom to help the students. Um how does this rank us in the state with uh comparing to similar district? Um, we are
013looks like in the top 30 top third 34 out of 104 districts, which I I think it's it's pretty good and reasonable. So, we'll take it. Um, on the next slide, I have some per pupil revenues and expenditures um that are coming from the district profile report. that is the most recent available. It's fiscal year 24. So I would like to underline it is not the fiscal year we just closed on June 30th because this information is just being reported to the state by all the 600 some school districts right now in July. So they always have one year in a rears on this type of data and analysis for us. So our expenditure um um per pupil We are at 16,8382 which is somewhat higher than similar averages for similar districts in the state
014and also statewide averages. However, we can see the last three uh school districts I pulled as comparison in the report um are the same ones that we also uh compared ourself last year uh year ago to and our per pupil expenditure is well less than all of those three uh districts. Um, another interesting fact to analyze is while our revenue per pupil is under all of the three compared neighboring districts and similar and statewide district averages um yet it is less than the three neighbor neighboring districts listed. So our per pupil is $16,8269 for revenues uh monies that come in. Um it's it's the least in the whole report as you can uh see. I also uh pulled in um just a little bit of information regarding our expenses and to see how we compare
015to the other districts and I think we are pretty um uh competitive with with our numbers. Okay. Um the next slide I have our general fund and our permanent improvement year end uh numbers for the whole fiscal year. Uh in general funds we started out with $18,270,000 a little over. Uh during the whole fiscal year we received 60,622,000. We expanded 61,534 and um we have remaining fund balances of $17,358,000 at the end of June of which $547,000 is encumbered which I would like to mention that we pulled together as a team districtwide not not my team everybody in the district in order to keep this number It's the lowest it has been in many years for encumbrances because we do want to pay out our debts in the fiscal year that they occur as much
016as possible. Of course, that um utilities, uh gas bills, things like that, uh services that are provided to us us in June will not be paid until July. So, there is always going to be some encumbrances, but in the past, our encumbrances have been at much higher. So we are uh very happy um um with little over half a million dollar in encumbrances to be carried over to next year. However, on the other hand, as you can all see in the permanent improvement funds, uh we had $4.9 million at the beginning of the school year. We received $2.1 million. We spent a little over what we received. And then we also have a pretty high um incumbrance of 1.1 $1,223,000. And we all know and see what's going on as we drive down Rovena Road.
017It's mostly basically the RBC roof that's in progress over the summer. So that's why we have that um incumbrance that in PI monies. Um I have put together a comparison for us and for the community to see of our collections local funds that the district receives um a year prior and fiscal year 25. So I have fiscal year 24 um funds that we receive from the county from the tax collections from the community and they are all listed by each because I have had so many numerous questions during the past couple years and summers um with the county raising the property values at about 30% or so a year ago and the community um kind of thinking that we also receive 30% more in funds because of the property taxes have increase. So I have
018every single um fund and levy and how much it brings into us. So if you look with me uh the very first um column is general fund money for inside mills which inside millillage was um established by the state long long before us for every single school district. We we have 4.97 inside males and um those are the males that actually will bring us higher revenues when the property values increase. And if you all look with me, in 2025 we received $722,000 more in that first column than in 2024. So as we go down on the numbers, I have the totals at the very bottom. You can just see just slight changes increases mostly in the two fiscal years. However, the largest increase of $3,46,000 is basically uh the column that smart general emergency fund
01923 which means fiscal year 23 that was the November 2023 emergency levy that we passed that um you can see on the first row in the fall 23 did not bring us any money because we didn't have it. That's when we passed it. Then in fiscal year 24, it brought us half of the collections from the year when it got passed, $3.2 million. And then this was the first year, fiscal year 25, when we received full collections for the entire year, um $6.3 million. Um the um permanent improvement column, I have left it here. I have included it in here. It is not general fund but it is also we are receiving it through the community tax collection. So I wanted to have that there and available to it doesn't go again into our general
020fund but as a total um we have received $3.9 million more in collections in tax revenues in fiscal year 25 than in the prior year. So that's local funds. Okay. Some of the revenue h highlights as we have just seen our local revenues increased by $3.96 million. However, now on the other hand, our state foundation formula unfortunately as we were aware uh we have lost almost $1.5 million last year compared to fiscal year uh 24. We had a one-year increase in fiscal year 24 that was taken away from us very quickly this year. Um in investments we have uh maximized our um um returns as the Federal Reserve cap interest rates uh still relatively high and we have um one point uh little over 1,180ome,000 that we received on those lines. So overall our revenues
021are $2 and.5 million dollars higher than in the prior fiscal year. And then our expenditures are $2.4 million um also higher than the prior fiscal year. So the next slide is um my monthly reporting of our uh interest earned for the district in our different uh bank accounts. The Star Ohio and the Huntington Bank are our liquid monies and the red tree investments are our investments. So we at all times since I have joined the district we have about $10 million a little over in our investments. Um but the rest of our funds are liquid. However, we still get a very high return on them at Star Ohio because they have very good rates um that they have been offering and we're taking advantage of that on our investment portfolio in the second half of
0222025 um was split between commercial paper and US treasury notes. Uh we're maintaining liquidity and locking in longer maturities for the portfolio. Commercial paper positions make us make up the shorter end with US treasuries accounting for the longer maturities. Rates are expected to remain near similar levels until the Federal Reserve begins uh cutting uh them down towards the 2025 this year, end of the year. Uh we plan to continue lacking in longer positions while rates remain still high. Uh portfolio yield is at 4.07% with a maturity average of 2.1 years in comparison to the prior year. The yield of the portfolio was 3.24 with average maturity of 1.23 years. Um the portfolio has several longer uh lower yielding uh securities set to mature over the coming months and we'll be watching those with red tree
023um uh investment and um we are expecting to reinvest them at higher yields as they mature. So how do our numbers compare to the prior fiscal years? Um I have a easy to read chart on the next slide. Um, as we already reviewed our uh general funds, we received $60,622 this year and we have spended $61,534,000 in general fund monies, which gives us a higher expenditure by $911,000 than what our revenues were. So, uh what else have we tried as administrative team and um basically everybody in the district um we are looking for opportunities to bring in extra funds and I have listed a few of them. Um how um the first one is the special education threshold cost reimbursement which um Mr. Vendiera has worked very hard for and went after and since he
024and I and Mr. Strickland joined the district three years ago every year Mr. then the era was we have to hit $350,000 in return. We have to hit it and we we never did. I think last year we were at $263,000 and this was the first year when we're actually over the 350. So it was just like a little team victory when we received the money um at 377,000. It is funds that the district has already spent to clarify that, but we are happy to get some type of return since that opportunity is out there and we never know how much that is because the state returns the funds to school district based on how many students total in the state were submitted for reimbursement, what their cost was. So, it's a big poll that
025comes together and that's why we never know. We put in our cost but we never know what will get reimbursed. So uh we have continued um um Mr. Strickland's department to submit for fuel state reimbursement and we received uh close to $2,000 um in those. And then um it's it's tax state tax reimbursement on the fuel that we're purchasing for our buses. Um the next slide I have grants that our staff has diligently went after and applied for. And um I tried we tried to keep track and list everybody. Um one of the uh items here is $8,500 is for the teacher of the year which we were very proud to have this year uh Miss Pikney. Um and then um the business department, Mr. Strickland has submitted for couple security grants which are listed
026on the top of the page uh which were great um $18,000 and over $57,000 and um the foundation the school foundation has been generous and giving our teachers um I think the vets clinic the deaf culture Um the middle school helping student make sense of middle school grant. Um the vets clinic I think were coming from the state foundation I'm sorry the school foundation and and then couple other grants. So, we're thankful for every single team member working very hard to get some extra money that otherwise um those activities and those items would not be supplied to the students and as we're all learning they're really enjoying to be able to do special programs and things with the students uh by using those funds. Um I have listed the irate money separately because this is
027not money that we actually receive in hand. So we don't have a check that comes into the district for it. However, it is applied against our cost then now we have to pay less for internet access um uh through the tech department. A little bit of uh market insight throughout uh the United States um and the current employment landscape. June payrolls have uh rose by 147,000. Unemployment rate went just slightly down from 4.2 to 4.1%. Um and there is a growing divide between the officials on cutting the rates in late July or not at all. Uh maybe to the end of the year. We just don't know where where that's going at this point in time. um inflation trends. How inflation is lower than uh previous year but um analysts believe that the tariffs have
028not hit the economy yet. Um so we'll see how that works out very soon. Uh economic growth has slowed throughout the states um as imports have surged um because businesses are stocking up before tariffs policies are implemented. Um so we have started seeing that um as a wrap up of the economic um comments. The federal funds uh fund rate cut expectations continue to change. The econom economic and tariff data is mixed. We started in 2025 with the expectation of the federal cutting interest rates two times. The market is still expecting the two rates which have not happened yet. Um the current federal fund rates uh is between 4.25% and 4.5% and we're expecting it to get closer to 4% by the end of the year but we really don't know. So, um after that, um
029general review, a little bit of review of how Ohio compares to uh the entire uh United States. Um I have a graph here. Um and we can see even on the graph that Ohio uh inflation is actually higher than uh the US inflation. uh which is unusual. Um it outpaces the national average um by about.3% points um which reflects um higher month overmonth price increases which all of us are experiencing that. Um food and energy increases were particularly notable in the Midwest and um rent and medical costs are elevated in both regions but even more pronounced locally. So going back to our district um on the next two slides I have um information from the report card and I left 2023 here on purpose so we can just look at couple numbers. The student enrolled
030in the district in 2023 were 3,752 based on this Ohio Department of Educational report card. And in 24 we had 119 less students and 3,633 students. And um I also wanted to um bring your attention to the students on the third column middle section uh non-public schools. The students participated in educational choice expansion programs. We went from 19 in 2023 to 263 students last in 2024. So um that's a pretty big spike there. Okay. So if we look at total enrollment is only 119 students less than the prior year. However, we have a spike in um choice program schools at 263. It kind of tells me that we did not lose 263 students as a district. However, some of the smaller younger uh kindergarten first grade students might have been directly who live in our
031district taken to some other school choices opposed to coming to our district. So, I wanted to review that together. Um and then we have maintained our five-star um rating which we are so very excited and happy and proud of and our goal is to provide excellent opportunities to our students at all times. So that's my little wrap up of the fiscal year and I have more information for anyone that has questions or interested in anything else maybe more specific to our district or >> all right >> thank you for your attention Julia I have I do have one question um the students who participate in the ed choice in 2024 is there some way to identify, I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to say this, students who were already enrolled and never ever enrolled
032in Twinsburg City Schools. They were already in a private parochial whatever school district that then took advantage of the new ed choice opportunity. So, they wouldn't be lost to our district. They may not have ever been in our district, but that number can be um something I think needs to be pointed out to the general public that that that this was the this is the number of 263. However, of that 263, is there a way that we could find out how many were already in those particular >> twins residents who were already? I would do and what I was just going over. If we compare the total number of students that our district has in the two years in 2024, we have 119 students less than in 23. >> Right? >> So with the 263
033being higher and the 119 loss, they would tell me that the difference between the two, the students were already somewhere else. So we did not lose them, >> right? That's what I think we need to make sure we have that pronounced clearly to the public is that we didn't lose 263 students >> that many of them may have already been somewhere else who then took the ed choice and now they show up because they show up under the ed choice count. >> Correct. Based on this report, we only lost 119 students, but that's probably part of it might be at choice, but there are other reasons parents move and all of that. Okay. >> So, there's a bunch of different factors. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Any other discussion? >> Thanks. It's a
034lot of work. >> Appreciate it. >> Of course. >> Thank you, Jul. >> You're welcome. My pleasure. >> And there's no more, right? >> No. >> All right. Treasures report meeting minutes.
