Board appoints treasurer pro tem, approves minutes and consent agenda, moves to executive session

Board President Boynton opened the Bradford Board of Education work session on April 18 and noted the treasurer was absent. Citing Ohio Revised Code Section 3313.2, the president proposed appointing Mr. Anthony Akins to temporarily fulfill treasurer duties for the meeting; several members verbally confirmed and Mr. Akins conducted roll call.

The board then handled routine business. A motion to approve the March 26, 2024 minutes was moved and seconded (recorded as moved by Missus Turner Burch and second by Missus Carter) and passed on roll call 5–0. A separate motion to approve the April 4 regular meeting minutes (moved by Missus Carter; second by Missus Macklin) also passed 5–0.

The consent agenda was moved by Missus Turner Burch and seconded by Missus Macklin; with no questions the board approved the consent agenda on a 5–0 roll-call vote.

Later the board voted to enter executive session to "discuss purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer, or sale of any real, personal, or other property interest, and to consider the employment, employment dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion, or compensation of a public employee." The motion (moved by Missus Carter; second recorded in the transcript as Missus Maglam) passed 5–0. The board stated there would be no votes after returning from executive session and then recessed into the closed session.

The board did not take further public action during the recorded work session.
