Written with the help of AI from the Troy Board of Education agenda, Monday, November 9, 2026.
22 policies up for approval, including new rules on AI and recordings
The administration asks the board to approve 22 policy items, all effective November 9, 2026. Four are new: po2431.07 on extracurricular participation of non-enrolled public high school students (the Student Athlete Mobility, or "SAM," Act), po5224 on youth membership organization access, po6100 on proper use of public funds, and po7540.10 on recording and AI processing of communications on school property and at school events.
Why it matters: The attached forecast projects the general fund’s cash balance falling from $20.1 million in June 2026 to $18.0 million by June 2027 and below zero, at negative $3.9 million, by June 2031.
One policy would be rescinded: po2461, on recording of district meetings involving students and/or parents. Another, po5514 on student use of bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, e-scooters and other personal transportation devices, would be replaced. The remaining 16 are revisions. They cover filling a board vacancy, resignation or removal of board members, outside activities of staff (three versions), interscholastic athletics, homeless students, use of medications, credits from nonpublic schools, use of credit cards, volunteers, public records, student records, sex offender notification and relations with special interest groups, among others.
The resolution adopts the full, codified set of bylaws and policies and rescinds all earlier ones. The agenda gives no summary of what each revision changes.
Monthly financial report and a forecast that dips into deficit
The board is asked to file for audit the October 2026 financial report. It shows general fund revenue of $24,183,063.63 so far this fiscal year against expenditures of $22,173,330.59, with a cash balance of $22,225,529.68.
The attached five-year forecast looks further out. It projects expenditures of $65,070,797 in fiscal 2027 against revenues of $62,976,233, leaving a cash balance of $18,013,475 on June 30, 2027, down from $20,091,929 a year earlier. In every forecast year through 2031, projected spending exceeds projected revenue. The forecast shows the June 30, 2031 cash balance at negative $3,890,134. It also includes property tax renewal or replacement levy revenue beginning in fiscal 2028.
Redistricting presentation
Cropper GIS is scheduled to give a redistricting presentation. The agenda lists the item without describing proposed boundaries or any action. The board will also hear from Chris Piper on board policy revisions, receive committee reports, and recognize Purple Star Students from the Van Cleve 6th Grade Building.
$10,626 in gifts accepted in November
The board will vote to accept gifts totaling $10,626.00 for November, bringing the fiscal-year-to-date total to $162,737.82. The largest is $5,000 from the Ohio State Eagles Charity Fund, Inc. to Troy High School Athletics for girls and boys golf. The same fund is giving $1,500 to the Van Cleve 6th Grade Building’s principal’s fund.
Other gifts include $2,000 from VFW Ohio Charities/Troy Fish & Game to Troy Junior High School’s Christmas Fund, $1,000 from Jerry Powell to Kyle Elementary for teacher supplies, and $500 from the Banstola Family to Hook Elementary for student rewards. Smaller gifts go to the Van Cleve building, the high school yearbook, Interact Club, Student Government and Joy Club. Ashlee Gasson gave Troy High School a graduation cap and gown. The board also directs the superintendent to send thank-you letters.
Routine purchases and personnel
Under a "then and now" resolution, the board is asked for retroactive approval of one purchase order, PO 271166 to Johnston Farm for $635.00. State law lets the treasurer certify after the fact that funds were available when the order was placed and still are.
The personnel report, which the agenda calls "entirely routine," lists four retirements and five resignations. Retirements are Spanish teacher Susan Clark, science teacher Brian Rasey, 4th grade teacher Jody Weber (all effective 5/28/2027) and bus driver James Jones (12/31/2026). Resignations include Concord 5th grade teacher Julia Krueger (5/28/2027) and high school technology assistant Beth Heckman (12/31/2026). Two unpaid leaves are requested. One new bus aide is hired, along with five certified substitutes at $135 a day, six classified substitutes and 12 coaching or supplemental contracts. The meeting also includes approving the October 12 minutes.
