Summary

Fifth grade students from the Walls Elementary film club announced a time capsule opening ceremony on Oct. 31 at 3:45 p.m. The board was also shown a trailer for their upcoming movie project, a film about time travel and the history of the school building. Members of the community with historical documents or photographs relating to Walls Elementary, formerly known as Northeast Elementary, are asked to contact club advisor Chip Hawks or the school.

Kyle Kutinsky was recognized for being awarded 2025 Teacher of the Year by the Portage County Soil and Water District. 

Treasurer Erin VanMeter updated the board on changes to the state budget that will result in $319,000 less in funding for the district. However, the school will be receiving a merit-based bonus of $180,000 for their district report card rating. This bonus is part of a new state program.

The board approved several action items, including the consideration of quotes to upgrade the analog transportation radio system to a digital encrypted system and the formation of a new girls flag football team at Roosevelt High School in the spring. 

Board President Tiera Moore submitted her letter of resignation because she is moving out of the district. She will continue to serve on the board through the end of October.

Documenter’s Notes

The minutes were approved from September’s regular meeting. 

Superintendent’s Report

Walls Elementary Principal David Ulbricht introduced a group of 5th graders from the school’s film club. He explained that they are currently working on projects relating to Walls’ 60-year anniversary and that this work aligns with the district’s strategic plan in several ways. Ulbricht said the club offers students a more varied educational experience and academic rigor, fosters an appreciation of culture and school history through their research and allows students to work on their communication skills by sharing the information they learn with others in the community.

Several students came forward to talk about an upcoming event they are putting on as part of their anniversary celebrations. On Oct. 31 at 3:45 p.m., they will be unearthing a time capsule that was buried in 2000. Several former Walls Elementary principals and a professor of archeology from Kent State will also be present. Members of the community are welcome to attend.

Gifted Intervention Specialist Chip Hawks, who is also the film club advisor, then played a brief trailer created by the students for a movie they will be working on in the next several months. The movie will be about students who travel back in time to 1963 to convince Kent government officials to approve the construction of Northeast Elementary, which is the former name of Walls. The video included several old aerial photographs of the school over the years that were provided by a Kent historian. Hawks added that the club is looking for more submissions of historical documents or photographs from members of the community. Anyone who has something historical should contact him or Walls Elementary.

Kyle Kutinsky was recognized by the board for winning the Portage County Soil and Water District’s 2025 Teacher of the Year award. Kutinsky teaches environmental studies and forestry and led a tree planting project at Dix Park in Ravenna.

Financial Reports

Treasurer Erin VanMeter presented the school funding update. She explained that the new state budget includes changes to the taxable value, income index and schools’ base cost enrollment. These changes will result in a reduction of $319,000 compared to what the Kent City School District received in the last state budget. Most line items in the Kent budget were reduced by less than 2%. 

The state also added a performance-based supplement. Based on their state report card grades, some schools would receive additional funding. With this change, Kent will be receiving $180,000, which will somewhat offset the lost funding.

VanMeter also explained that the taxable value update in the budget is based off of 2024 property taxes, so it does not account for the 2025 reevaluation and increases. Those values will take effect in the next two-year budget, resulting in another reduction in funding from the state due to the district appearing more wealthy on paper. She added that this will not cause a huge change in funding.

The board approved the financial reports.

Compared to the same time last year, the district is paying out $100,000 less in bills, meaning they have remained mostly the same. The board approved a motion to pay the bills.

Personnel

The board approved the recommended resignations, retirements, leave of absence, appointments, transfers and substitute teacher appointments. Superintendent Tom Larkin took time to recognize the staff who retired in both September and October.

Action Items 

A resolution to allow the district to consider options for a commercial credit card from Huntington Bank was passed. The board will receive more information at November’s meeting about the credit cards available.

A motion to consider quotes to upgrade the transportation radio system from analog to a digital encrypted system was approved. The district has three quotes and has already received a $13,000 grant to put toward the project. The price to replace several antennas was also built into the purchase order. 

A recommendation was made to declare it impractical to transport students who live in the district but are attending other nearby schools. The board approved.

The board also approved an extension for the lease of a gravel parking lot that is being used by Family & Community Services and a church. The monthly lease will also be increased.

The board approved consideration to pool resources with Green Local Schools to provide Title I services.

The 2026-2027 school calendar was approved. It was noted that as is required by law, a community hearing was held on this calendar, but no residents attended. 

The board approved the adoption of a new online learning policy to use if the district goes over the legally allowed number of hours of school missed due to cancellations, such as snow days.

The board approved the OSBA policy revisions that were presented in September.

The board approved the formation of a girls flag football team at Roosevelt High School.

The annual Roosevelt High School leadership retreat overnight field trip was approved.

Misc. Action Items

The board approved $2,026.92 in donations to the district from members of the community. 

The board accepted the resignation of Tiera Moore, who will be stepping down effective the end of October because she is moving to Summit County.

The board moved to enter executive session to discuss matters related to employees and then adjourned the meeting.

Speaker 5  02:05

Thank you very much, and we’re very excited. Like to thank Mr. Albrecht, the principal here at walls, for hosting the school board meeting tonight, and he’s put together presentation with some of our finest here. So with that, I’ll turn it over to Mr. Albrecht or Mr. Hawks.

Speaker 3  02:23

Well, good evening everybody. Welcome to walls Elementary School. I’m very pleased to have you here. Very honored to have the opportunity to host your October meeting. And one of the things that I learned a long time ago is that when you find folks come to visit us here building up. The last thing you really want to do is hear me talk a lot, and so tonight I will be up here for a very short period of time before I turn things over to our fantastic fifth graders, led by Mr. Chip Hawkes. What I would like to share with you is that your report tonight will highlight some of the work they’ve been doing to commemorate the 60th anniversary of walls Elementary School here at the Kansas City schools built, I believe, in 1964 see plain dating further back than that. Some other things I think that might interest you, and that I want you to know about what you’re going to hear tonight is that the work that our students are doing as part of Mr. Hawkes Film Club do support our recently adopted three year strategic plan here in the Kent city schools. So I’d like to take just a quick moment to highlight some of the ways that this work supports the strategic plan. For one you’re going to hear a presentation that highlights academic rigor and differentiation. There is something for everybody here at walls, and that absolutely is part of our commitment to multi tiered systems of support for all of our students, the work that you’re going to hear about tonight is supportive of the strategic plan through appreciation of the culture and the history of our school as it exists within the community has been here a very long time. And finally, and probably most importantly, for our film club, this supports the strategic plan through communication. You see, you will see that our students are being engaged in planning an exciting and innovative way of communicating what they learned about the history of our school with the rest of our community. And so with that, I’d like to introduce chip hawks, who will get things started. Thank you, Mr. Wolford, good evening, everybody. My name is Chip Hawks. I’m the gifted specialist here at walls Elementary and also at Holden Elementary, our fifth grade select fifth grade Film Club members have a special message they would like to share with all of you at this time. Applause.

Speaker 6  04:43

Good evening. Welcome to the prison, but prepared to go back to the past 25 years for me, Jack, so fascinating. Tonight we are going back to the year 2000 when a time capsule was there, buried behind the walls on waiting to be excavated by the folklore which is. Overseeing and some members from the Penn State University. The celebration will be held on Friday, October 31 at 3.5 pm by the Wolford will film the celebrations that are made the documentary, which will be shown on stage along with our phone book production, we look forward to having Dr Veronica Motley and Mrs. Wendell Walker join us for the excitement. We would also like to invite the school board members to join us at 345 school as we want the mistake of a 25

05:42

year we were filming my scene together.

Speaker 3  05:46

No, Duke, I’m sorry we’re not filming your scene today, buddy, but that’s a perfect segue into a 43 second teaser we would like to share with everybody. So if I may have you divert your attention to the cinema. Scope, wide screen over here you

Speaker 3  06:40

and that is it next fall will mark the 60th anniversary of walls opening its doors. We’ve also been working with John reitinger, who is a local Penn historian, and he was the one who provided those aerial shots of the location even before they started construction. And if any of you happen to know of individuals who have either any historical documents or photographs, please feel free to send to send them our way. We love to use them in our film. Our film is a time travel film for students will travel back to 1963 and try to talk the Ben City Council into building northeast elementary school, as this building was originally called, before it was trans changed over to William A walls elementary the students and Film Club are excited to align the 60th anniversary celebration, along with excavating the Time Capsules, which was buried in 2000 we have with us a very special guest. This is Dr Linda Spurlock. She’s from the Kent State University archeology department, and we are collaborating very closely. She and three of her students will join us on October 31 to unearth the time capsule and hopefully its contents inside. We hope to see you all there. Thank you. Applause.

Speaker 5  08:20

Ben students. Thank you so much, and thank you for the invitation. Just a question for you. You said it starts at 345 Correct? Yes. Will the school board members have time to get home and put their costumes on for trick or treat?

Speaker 6  08:38

Almost definitely. But there might be some chance.

Speaker 5  08:47

Very good. Thank you so much, students, and thank you Mr. Hawks, appreciate it. Really looking forward to it. Next portion of the Superintendent’s report, we’d like to recognize one of our amazing teachers, Kyle, if you don’t mind standing Kyle Ben ski first of all, he’s a Roosevelt grad former student of mine. Kyle’s in his third year at RHS as a Forestry and Environmental studies instructor with the CTE program, and Kyle has been named the 2025 Teacher of the Year by the portage Soil and Water Conservation District. Last school year, under his leadership, the forestry program planted over 500 trees and protected and staked over 225 black walnut trees at Bix Park and Ravenna. I don’t know how you have time for all of that the curriculum you have to teach. So I just wanted to take time to recognize Kyle and introducing congratulations. You. Ben, thanks

10:11

for all your leadership. And that concludes our Superintendent’s report.

Speaker 5  10:20

We have quite a crowd here. You’re more than welcome to stay for the whole meeting, if you’d like, if you’d like, to slide out right now, you’re more than welcome to do that also. Thank you for being here, students. Thank you so much. So impressive.

10:48

Better appreciate it. Nice job. Thanks for coming, thanks for coming,

10:57

thanks for coming,

Speaker 5  11:00

thanks for coming. Thanks for coming, thanks for coming, thanks for coming. You can go with the kids

Speaker 7  11:13

if you want. Well, we will head out. Thank you guys so much again. I really do appreciate it. So you guys have a wonderful rest of your night. Thank you very much. Moving on to

11:34

the real fun

11:37

stuff, just

Speaker 8  11:44

follow that. I actually wanted to take a minute tonight and give like a little bit of a school funding update. We receive our payments for the state twice a month throughout the year, and the payment amounts for each fiscal year updated in October, specifically the second payment in October. I think I may have discussed this last week, or last week when we approved the financial forecast. So this morning, I was able to pull reports from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce website, because our October payment number two is scheduled for Friday, to take a look at what our funding numbers truly look like for the year, the recently enacted state budget included several changes to the calculation of our state founded foundation funding. In general, the changes don’t significantly alter the structure of the foundation. It mainly is changing the inputs they have updated our base cost enrollment. They look at fiscal year 2524 23 they change and look at a taxable value for tax years 22 through 24 they update the income index using tax years 2122 23 so they update all of those inputs to put together this our what our funding is going to look like. The great news is that, as predicted from the simulations that we looked at over the summer, our funding from the state did reduce. It looks like we’re going to receive about 319,000 less than we did last year. But that’s pretty much on target with what we thought it was going to be. Most of the line items were reduced by just less than 2% when you’re looking at our foundation, there’s line items for English language learners, for gifted for special education. So looking through those is where I kind of looked and compared this payment to our first payment of democracy, where one piece of good news that I brought up at their special meeting, but I wanted to share it again today, since we have a slightly bigger crowd, one of the provisions of the new budget is a new performance based supplement for school districts. So this is tied to our report card rating. We’ll be receiving a performance supplement this year of 180,000 so that will offset that 319,000 a little bit, and it is something to be celebrated. Anyone have questions about this evening’s financial report?

14:22

I report, the taxable value update 22 to 24 that compass the new valuation

Speaker 7  14:32

most recent. Or is that a rolling? Is that going to be continue rolling? Or just like a box that go again? Do we

Speaker 8  14:37

have a valuation in 24 in Port County?

Speaker 7  14:41

No, it was 20 in porch County. No, it was 25 so know that one does it roll every year, or is that we’re set it for this budget and

Speaker 8  14:51

then so next year it will probably take effect, which means, in theory, if you look richer on paper. Then the state doesn’t supply you with as much money, but that is why they use, like, a three year average for income and valuation

Speaker 7  15:08

and stuff like that. Ben new two year budget, so we’ll have two more

Speaker 8  15:12

years. I’m thinking we’ll have two years of this, and that will affect the next budget, yeah, but it, it probably will bump our average a little bit, but it wouldn’t be a huge change.

Speaker 1  15:42

It’s perfect. Dr Crow, yes. Mr. Myers, yes, Mr. Boyle, yes.

15:57

Ms Moore, yes, approval

Speaker 8  15:59

of the bill. Quick look at our check register for the month, and I like to compare it to last year, just to see if there’s any anomalies and see if we’re falling in line. We paid $100,000

16:09

less this year than we did last

16:10

year, so we’re pretty much in line with

16:17

where we normally are

Speaker 1  16:21

in September overall. Please, yes. Dr, polis, yes. Dr Crow, yes. Mr. Myers, yes. Mr. Boyle, yes. Miss Moore,

16:29

yes. Or a resignation, retirement, let’s

Speaker 9  16:34

16:47

Move to approve Second

16:55

yes before we move

Speaker 5  17:02

on, I would like to take a moment I misstep last month and did not recognize our retirees from September. So I’d like to take a moment to recognize the individual retirees from our September board meeting and our October meeting, because it’s quite a list and quite an impressive run and careers most of these people had. Jeff b He teaches manufacturing in CAD with the CTE programs at Roosevelt High School. He also served as assistant trauma director and team leader, and he was served for 10 years here in Kent, 15 years outside of Kent. Eva haverstick has taught at Davey elementary She’s also served as a grade level chair. She’s retiring after 22 and a half years at Kent City Schools.

You very kindly recognized our own Linda Paulus, the director of data analysis, she’s retiring after 14 years here in Kent with us. Missy Smith, who is music teacher and choral director at Stan Middle School, is retiring after 32 years. And Mr. Don titco teaches remodeling and construction in the CTE program at Roosevelt High School. He also has served as class advisor, and he has served 28 years in tent and our October retirees, Mr. Larry pasico, Social Studies teacher at Roosevelt High School.

Also served as team leader, curriculum leader, soccer coach, Assistant fitness center coordinator, and then was also a Kea president. And he’s retiring after 32 years, so it’s quite a list. We’re very appreciative of of their amazing dedication to the kids in the family of Kent. In total, they have combined for 226 and a half years of combined service with us between those retirees. So just want to take a second to recognize each of them individually.

Speaker 7  19:57

22:51

quotes for digital radio system.

Speaker 10  22:56

Yeah, we would like to update our transportation radio system from an analog system to a digital, encrypted system, especially since we’re talking about sensitive things. And the exciting news, we received the Ohio Attorney General’s 2025 school safety grant program, and received over $13,000 that will go toward that. So we do have the three quotes here, and we are recommending Vasu. They are the least expensive, and they have been serving us in this capacity to support our radio system. We have a note at the bottom that we may have some antennas that need to be replaced, so there will be an additional cost. So we’re going to build that into the purchase order just in case. Mrs. Gould,

Speaker 1  23:40

yes. Mr. Myers, yes. Dr Crow, yes. Mr. Boyle, yes. Ms Moore, yes. Item

23:46

6c consider payment in lieu of transportation.

24:05

Mister boyle, yes.

24:07

Doctor Crow, yes. Mister Myers, yes.

Speaker 2  24:12

Miss Moore, yes. 6d consider central school parking lot, please.

Speaker 10  24:17

So right in front of Central School, across man away there, there’s a gravel lot that we only use on election days. So we have had an agreement with family and community services where their staff uses the lot during the day, and the church right next door, that had built a hall also use it as well. So we want to extend the lease that we have with family and community services, and we are increasing it beginning in January 2026, and the nice thing is, we don’t maintain it all. They take care of maintaining it, gravel, plowing all of that.

24:50

Move to approve Second Roll call, please.

Speaker 1  24:52

Mr. Myers, yes. Mr. Boyle, yes. Dr Crow, yes. Mrs. Cruz, yes. School, yes, 6b

Speaker 2  25:02

considered Title One memorandum of understanding.

Speaker 8  25:06

We have another school that we’d like to hold resources with in order to provide Title One services at St Patrick’s and so we’re asking for your approval of the memorandum of understanding of green local

25:22

schools Roll call, please. Yes.

Speaker 1  25:27

Mrs. Polis, yes. Mr. Myers, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2  25:33

Item 6f consider adoption of 2026, 2027, school calendar. Mr.

Speaker 4  25:40

Larkin’s been very thoughtful in his approach to the school calendars, and he’s been very mindful to the teachers request as well, for days off throughout the year and that sort of thing. So was provided with two calendar options, and they landed on this calendar. Mr. Larkin also had a held a community hearing, which he’s required to do, which I think it’s the consecutive year in a row that ever since the requirement has started, that nobody’s attended the community hearing on the calendar, so there must not be very many strong feelings one way or another. And we’d like to recommend the option that’s before you for

26:21

next year’s calendar Roll call, please?

Speaker 1  26:27

Dr Crow, Mr. Myers, yes. Mr. Boyle, yes. Ms

Speaker 5  26:38

Moore, yes. Question, did we move back to? Is that following Kent State, I did not. I believe is spring break? No. 10 states the first or second week, traditionally, traditionally. Kent State was the last full week, and this is still the last full week of March. So that’s where we kept ours.

Speaker 5  27:16

And this is still the same correct missing just a few days of not aligning our school calendars causes students to miss out on quite a bit of Education and hours of our CTE

Speaker 2  27:41

programs. Item 6g is there adoption of online learning

Speaker 4  27:47

for number of years now, there’s been a requirement probably think back to when there were snow days, right? You had to have an option. It’s a blizzard bag option if you exceeded the allowable number of snow days. And so then the state changed to an hour formula, instead of a number of days per year, it’s number of hours per year. And so many school districts, including ours, are that we beat the number of hours by 18 to 20 days. And so we’ve never thought about having to have an online learning plan requirement until an auditor this fall informed us that, hey, you have to have that on file. So we took a look at what was out there, what our options were, and we came up with this plan, and we’re requesting you to adopt it. We hope we never have to use it, but we wanted to have it adopted just in case we need it. And we wanted to make sure that we put our new treasurer in a position to have a clean audit as well. We got you back here. Move to

Speaker 1  28:51

approve. Mr. Myers, yes. Dr crow Yes. Mr. Boyle, yes. Mrs. Kules, yes. Miss Moore, yes.

28:59

Sixth age. Consider adoption of osba policy.

Speaker 5  29:02

I think in September, we shared with you a stack of required policy revisions from osba, and at this time, we’re asking for your approval.

29:17

Second Roll call, please. Mrs.

29:22

Coolidge, schools,

29:25

yes. Mr. Boyle, yes. Six,

29:29

I consider approval of new school club.

Speaker 5  29:35

You received an application for starting a new club at Roosevelt High School for Girls flag football, we have an established policy and process to follow, and they met all the requirements of what we’ve asked to start a new club. So it’s my recommendation for your approval to start girls flag football at Roosevelt High School.

29:59

Ben. Second Roll call, please, yes.

Speaker 1  30:07

Dr Crow, yes. Mr. Myers, yes, Mr. Harris, yes.

So I wish you all the best, and I hope the board will consider appointing whoever the community choose for my seat a little early and give them a jump start in the role.
