Jackson Local Schools District (Stark County, Ohio)

Jackson Local Schools Board of Education

Tuesday meeting

ACTION: Approved putting the purchase of two school buses out for bid.

DISCUSSION: The board approved seeking prices for the purchase of the 72-passenger school buses.

OTHER ACTION:

  • Approved a trip to Hawaii for the Jackson High band in November 2023 to play for the 82nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The band is starting to plan now so they have time to do fundraising.

  • Approved the 2022-23 meal prices. All prices will be 25 cents higher than in previous years. Elementary students will pay $2 for breakfast and $3 for lunch. Middle and high school students will pay $2.50 for breakfast and $3.50 for lunch and $4.50 for a premium lunch. The federal waivers that allowed all students to receive free meals last school year are expected to expire this month, so families must file the paperwork to receive free or reduced meals.

  • Accepted seven resignations, including the resignation of teacher Tim Budd who has taken a position outside the district. Budd announced in February that he was stepping down as head coach of the Jackson High School football team after seven years.

  • Heard the semi-annual harassment intimidation and bullying report. There were seven incidents reported with five being substantiated.

NEXT: Meet 11:30 a.m. July 19 at Jackson High. The regular meeting follows the annual Board of Education work session.
