Absent: Also Present: Mrs. Myrna Loy Corley, Superintendent Mrs. Mary Ann Nowak, Treasurer/CFO III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES AMEND MAY 12, 2014 MINUTES AS FOLLOWS: 109/14 Whereas there has never before been a category entitled Late Entry, and Whereas the entry time 7:02 p.m. was not included, and REGULAR MEETING: May 12, 2014

2 Whereas board members have frequently been late, and Whereas the board has waited as long as 45 minutes for the late board members, and Whereas the special circumstances of the Late Entry were not included, and Whereas board member, Tiffany Fisher had experienced the loss of her infant grandchild only two days before the board meeting, Whereas board member Patricia Blochowiak stopped to give additional condolences to her as she entered the board meeting, this making the two of them two minutes late, and Whereas adding new categories never before used I order to specifically harass board members is not consistent with either good board relations or our anti-bullying policy, therefore; Be it resolved that the minutes of the May 12, 2014, Regular Board Meeting be amended to delete the Late Entry category. Dr. Blochowiak and Ms. Fisher. Dr. Keenon, Ms. Westbrooks and Ms. Avery-Prease. The Motion failed. THE FOLLOWING ARE DR. BLOCHOWIAK S COMMENTS: The minutes of the May 12, 2014, Regular Board Meeting contains numerous irregularities. 1. There is a new category entitled, Late Arrival. Treasurer s Comment: This is not a new category. The Treasurer always denotes arrival time when the members arrive late. 2. Also Present does not include the name of the Treasurer, as it usually does. Treasurer s Comment: This was inadvertently left off and will be corrected. 3. There is a successful motion to amend the Minutes of the April 14, 2014 meeting, but the minutes were not approved as amended. Treasurer s Comment: This statement is correct. The did not approve the amendment and the minutes reflect accurately. 4. The Trillium Environmental Science Award was presented to Rymarkable Huston-Crane. Honorable Mentions went to Brandon Clancy, Kaelyn Brown, and Tre von Sumbry. Treasurer s Comment: The addition to the agenda for Trillium Science Award exists in the minutes, however; the student names could not be heard. 2

3 5. Page 8 is a letter sent to Mrs. Nowak that was not presented to the board at the meeting. Treasurer s Comment: This letter supports the Resolution on Page #7. 6. Page 9 is too small to be easily read, even though it takes up such a small part of the page that it could have be enlarged. Treasurer s Comment: This report is small in print and is in support of the Resolution on page 7. It is essential that our minutes be an accurate legal record of our actions. The frequent inaccuracies, errors and omissions reflect poorly on our board. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 110/14 REGULAR MEETING: May 12, 2014 Ms. Avery-Prease, Dr. Keenon and Ms. Westbrooks and Ms. Fisher. Dr. Blochowiak. The Motion carried.

4 IV. COMMUNICATIONS 4

5 Dr. Patricia Blochowiak 6/9/12 Comment 1: I would like to request copies of the recordings of the 5/12/14 and 5/28/14 Board meetings as well as all meetings in the future until I am assured that the problem with inaudible or otherwise inadequate recordings is resolved. Since our written minutes are inadequate because they do not contain the information required by the Sunshine Law telling the general public how decisions are made, it is especially important that we have adequate recordings. I have received a number or recordings that were entirely blank and have been informed that our recording process does not work reliably. Dr. Patricia Blochowiak 6/9/12 Comment 2: I request the full cost of the picnic/rally that was held as part of last year s school board retreat. This should include payments for all food, services, items, board attendance, etc. along with the names and payees. I would like to receive this information via . Dr. Patricia Blochowiak 6/9/12 Comment 3: I hereby request copies of all the legal opinions rendered by Donna Andrew, as well as any other lawyer, whether from Pepple and Wagoner or by any other law firm, since I joined the Board. I would like to receive this information via . I understand this request is rather large, I anticipate receiving all legal opinions written within the last three months sent in the next week. I would like to continue receiving all opinions via at the same time as they are sent to the Board President. Tiffany Fisher 6/9/12 Comment 1: When a public body holds a special meeting to discuss particular issues, the statement of the meeting s purpose must specifically indicate those issues, and the public body may only discuss those specified issues at the meeting. When a special time is simply a rescheduled regular meeting at a different time, the statement of the meeting s purpose be for general purposes. Discussing matters at a special meeting that were not disclosed in its notice of purpose, either in open session or executive session, is a violation of the Open Meetings Act. **Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine Ohio Sunshine Laws 2014: An Open Government Resource Manual** 5
