REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AKRON, OHIO AUGUST 13, 2012 MINUTES The Regular Meeting of the Board of Education of the Akron City School District, Summit County, Ohio, was called to order on Monday, August 13, 2012, at 5:31 p.m. at the Sylvester Small Administration Building, 70 North Broadway, Akron, Ohio, with the President, Mr. Jason A. Haas, presiding. ROLL CALL The following members were present and responded to roll call: Mr. Bruce Alexander, Mrs. Ginger Baylor, Mr. Patrick L. Bravo, Mr. Jason A. Haas, Mrs. Lisa Mansfield, Mr. Tim Miller and Rev. Dr. Curtis T. Walker, Sr. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Jason Haas. COMMUNITY/SCHOOL REFLECTIONS Lisa Mansfield acknowledged the very hard work, by many volunteers, on very hot days, at the Akron Zoo Backpack Adventure which took place July 31 and August 1. There were volunteers from Allstate and Dominion, as well as staff members, who helped to distribute the backpacks to students. She further acknowledged the donations (listed in the Board Letter) made by Akron Children’s Hospital, Allstate Insurance Company, Summa Health Systems and Akron Metro RTA, which helped make this event possible. Also, since LeBron James does so much for the Akron Public Schools, Mrs. Mansfield, on behalf of the Board of Education, wanted to publicly acknowledge LeBron James for his latest accomplishment—winning the Olympic Gold Medal. Bruce Alexander attended a Buchtel New Tech High School meeting. He also attended an event at Hawkins Park where he handed out levy literature and thanked everyone for being out and supporting the Akron Public Schools. MEETING MINUTES 2 AUGUST 13, 2012 Tim Miller attended the Akron Arts Expo on July 28. Akron Public Schools had a craft booth and he had a good time working on crafts with the students. He also attended the National Night Out against crime event in Goodyear Heights. It was very well attended and many groups were represented there, including the Akron Public Schools. This year’s theme was anti-bullying. Mr. Miller called attention to the Akron Public Schools Career Education Pathways newsletter which just came out. He indicated that it is an excellent vehicle to showcase the many wonderful accomplishments of the Career Education students. He noted that this is the last paper issue; all future issues will be electronic. Mr. Miller urged those who would like to continue to receive it to register online for the new electronic version. Ginger Baylor attended the North Hill Night Out event on bullying, which was also attended by Mayor Plusquellic. She said they are doing so many things for the kids, and for the parents, in that neighborhood. REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE BOARD Ms. Jean Marie Hudson addressed the Board regarding the Jackson Elementary School site. She was disappointed that the building had been torn down and implored Board Members to rebuild Jackson School. She feels the stability of the area will be compromised with no elementary school in the neighborhood. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES Rev. Dr. Curtis T.
