The Nordonia Hills City School District Board of Education approved a slate of routine actions at its Jan. 13, 2026 meeting, including consent agenda items, college memoranda, calendar adjustments, personnel actions and fiscal-authority measures.
Board members voted to modify the agenda to include a specified kindergarten tuition amount and then approved the agenda modification. The board approved the superintendent’s consent items, which included second-reading policy updates required by the state and authorization for a wrestling team overnight field trip (post-trip approval when applicable).
The board approved a memorandum of understanding with Lakeland Community College that establishes the rate the district will pay for a student taking a college class through dual-enrollment programming.
The board also approved delayed-start schedules for the 2026–27 school year: a staggered kindergarten entry by alphabet to allow individual assessments, and staggered starts by building for grades 1–12. The board set the full‑day kindergarten tuition rate at $2,900 for 2026–27.
Personnel items on the consent list included acceptance of retirements (including Dr. Ziccarelli), approved student-teacher arrangements, various certified and classified hires and assignment changes, and routine payroll-related actions.
On finance measures, the board approved a resolution authorizing the advance of local tax receipts for cash‑flow purposes (not a change in tax rates) and voted to adopt adjusted appropriations for fiscal year 2026, giving district administration authority to expend funds within the certified resources.
Votes and outcomes: motions for the agenda modification, consent items, Lakeland MOU, delayed-start calendar items, the kindergarten tuition rate, certified and classified personnel items, the advance of local taxes, adjusted appropriations, and adjournment were each approved by recorded roll call votes at the meeting.
