Archbold Board of Education began their regular meeting on Monday, September 19 at 5:00 p.m. in the High School Media Center. The meeting was called to order followed by a roll call, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
During Superintendent Dr. Jayson Selgo’s report he shared, “The Lorain County auditor submitted a notice of appeal to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals regarding the settlement between the Ohio Tax Commissioner and NEXUS.”
“It is the opinion of the Fulton County Auditor that if the NEXUS settlement was appealed, it would likely delay any settlement on ROVER.”
“There is a current need for more operating funds as the district was in deficit spending last year and continues throughout the forecast.”
“Current projections show the final cash balance positive for the last time in 2024. Further discussions about the amount needed will continue at the next financial work session.”
Also, in Selgo’s report was information regarding the house at 337 Park Street, Selgo stated, “The house on the corner of Park St. and Bluestreak Drive has been removed. We are now working on plans to clear the rest of the property and fill with topsoil.”
