Minutes
Crystal Apple Awards:
Mr. Dave Lucius works at Washington Elementary. He is the first person to step up and help with school events, maintenance issues, and make sure the building is in the best shape. Ms. Watson wrote that Mr. Lucius is always punctual, develops a positive relationship with the students and is always the first person at the door in the mornings greeting students and parents. He recently stepped up and mentored a new night sweeper. Any new employee that joins Washington, Mr. Lucius is making sure that person is comfortable with the building and welcoming. He always has a positive attitude and displays a caring environment. Mr. Lucius thanked all the staff at Washington and enjoys working with them everyday. Mr. Bogard and Mr. Devore was also thanked for encouraging and assisting with this position.
Mr. Ryan Ottney works at Columbian High School. He is a Social Studies teacher and assistant football coach. Mr. Judd Lutz nominated Mr. Ottney. Mr. Lutz mentioned that Mr. Ottney has a passion for growth within students and alway looking to develop his lesson more in depth. Mr. Ottney has a commitment to prepare students in the best way possible and reflect on his skills to see what was successful or needs to be developed more. Mr. Ottney established and co-instructs the Leadership class at Columbian. The elementary and middle school kids enjoy seeing the high school students come into the classroom and work with them. Mr. Ottney is very student centered and understands the importance of development in children everyday. He recently received an award for the Northwest Coaches District in 2023. Mr. Ottney said a few comments about how thankful he is to be at Tiffin City Schools. He is thankful for the staff and Mr. Lutz. He is excited about the future of the district. He thanked the Board of Education, Mr. Nadeau, Mr. Boes, Mrs. Tuite, and Mr. DeVore for the continuous support they all provide to himself and the district.
Mr. Kisabeth thanked both Mr. Lucius and Mr. Ottney for their dedication to Tiffin City Schools. Mr. Perez thanked Mr. Lucius for welcoming all families into Washington. He said the district is blessed to have both individuals. He also thanked Mr. Ottney for stepping in as a softball coach. Mr. Williams mentioned that he enjoys hearing about the leadership class attending other district buildings and working with the younger students.
Band Trip Proposal: Mr. Mike Meadows
Every 4 years the district has an opportunity to take a band trip. Previously, the district went to Chicago, Nashville and at the end of COVID went to Cincinnati. 2026 will be another 4 years so this presentation will allow you some information on the proposal. The tour agency is out of Sandusky, Ohio and is Noteworthy Tour. The agenda was customized to the request of the district. There is a tour guide with the district group 24 hours a day. This is very beneficial. There are online payment options for families. Only 1 day of school will be missed and this is right before Spring break. Hotel security will be provided to walk the hallways between 11:00pm-7:00am. Each hotel room will have 4 people. Donations are always welcome. Band Boosters have supported the trip in the past. This will allow any student to attend if they would like no matter the financial burden. Mr. Kisabeth asked about how many students will be attending. Mr. Meadows said roughly 120 students but that is not an official number. Chaperons will be needed. 1 adult per 10 students. There will also be parents that travel with us but not on the bus. These parents have always stepped up in the past to assist with any coverage that is needed.
Mr. Tim Murray was unfortunately not available to join this evening. Mr. Nadeau provided a few comments on Columbian. Great things are happening at Columbian and that is a testament to the teachers and staff. The building has space available but physical needs do need to be addressed in the future.

BOARD DISCUSSION:
District Planning
Minutes
Mr. Nadeau started the meeting discussing the upcoming levy. There will be an Operating Levy on the ballot November 2025. For this to occur the Board of Education needs to approve 2 Resolutions. Ideally, the first Resolution will be approved in June and the second will be approved in July. There has been some confusion within the percentage the district is asking for. To clear this confusion up, the district will potentially ask for a .75%. This is potential as of now because the state has not released the biennial budget. The district is waiting to receive additional information before confirming the exact percentage request. Mr. Kisabeth emphasized the ballot will be in November and not May. Reconfiguration of buildings within the district was discussed. Mr. Perez asked about the start and end times for the buildings. Mr. Nadeau mentioned there would be no change in the times. Sale of property: The land has been offered to the Charter schools. There has been no response and the timeline is very close to ending. Once the timeline has closed and either the property was declined or no response the district can move forward. An RFP will need to be published for an auctioneer. While the district is in this process, the land is currently being leased to a farmer. Mr. Williams mentioned about the broadcast quality with the microphones. The microphones have been replaced again. Mr. Nadeau said the team can come up with different meeting locations over the summer. Media Center at Columbian or TMS are options. Dr. McBride said this will be trial and error. Mr. Williams discussed the broken links on the website, word docs being sent versus PDF, and the academic program document from Columbian. He mentioned how there was a quality control issue happening. Mr. Perez commented that the website is like a front door. If the front door is not nice than nobody would like to use the website. Mr. Nadeau said that it is his responsibility and is managing two website contracts at this time. Mr. Williams asked about a timeline to have the website switched and up and running. Mr. Nadeau responded August 1st.
