Approval of Minutes
Minutes were approved from Jan. 13, 2026, and Feb. 3, 2026, organizational and regular meetings.

Superintendent’s Report
Brett McCann provided a district report card update. In two years, 2022 and 2023, the district closed the gap of -9% to state average math scores.
The district continued to climb in performance with a significant jump in years 2024 and 2025 with a 6.2% jump in performance index that ranks the district 10th in the state of Ohio for most improved performance index.

The Streetsboro school district is one of two districts in the state where every eligible school in the district received a five-star rating.

Patrick Griffis, principal of Streetsboro High School, along with student peer tutors Avery Hunt, Ali Gigax and Hazel Schoenherr, presented the Student Peer Program, in which 18 tutors provided tutoring to 41 students. Students can be recommended by a teacher to the program or by the parent of a student. The program has been very successful in providing one-on-one tutoring or small-group tutoring.

Graduation 2026 update: plans are under way for a back-up in case of inclement weather that would prevent an outdoor ceremony in the stadium. Currently, the graduation ceremony will be held on May 19 in the stadium, with May 20 as a potential reschedule date for an indoor or outdoor ceremony.

Treasurer’s Report
A general fund review was provided along with a forecast for the future and a complaint against valuation. The general fund in January is low, which trends with previous years. By year 2028, a negative $900,000 cash balance is projected, but the plan is to have this change to basically a positive by cost reductions and other measures.

A complaint against valuation is under consideration, as in 2025, seven businesses sold at a higher valuation than their appraised valuation. By filing a complaint, it would allow the district to argue that the value be increased to the board of revision. The total increase over appraised value for the seven properties is $242,783.

Chief Business Officer’s Report
C.J. Scarcipino, working with the Streetsboro Fire Department, was able to get the required school door inspections to be, going forward, no charge. 

Food Services provided a Sushi Day that was appreciated by the high school students. 

It was shared that agenda agreements with Cintas, various rental agreements, fertilization agreements and approval to secure bids for purchase of buses would be voted on as part of the consent agenda.

Board reports
Rich shared that she had visited Maplewood and was impressed with the facility and the courses being offered there. Scott said now is the time to get senior applications in for review for scholarships available. Mattmuller shared the many recent successes of the boys and girls sports teams. Campbell advised of scheduled contact with both the mayor’s office and the PTO.
