East Holmes Board Reviews Report Card, Approves Donation and Personnel Moves
At its November 21 meeting the East Holmes Local Schools Board of Education accepted routine financial reports and personnel actions, reviewed the district 2025 Report Card, and approved a five thousand dollar donation to the FFA program. The actions affect staffing, program funding, and calendar planning, and set the stage for the district January organizational meeting.
The East Holmes Local Schools Board of Education met on November 21 and moved forward with routine oversight while taking several actions with direct implications for students and families. Board members accepted the district financial reports and approved personnel actions, reviewed the district 2025 Report Card, and approved a five thousand dollar donation to support the FFA program.
Review of the 2025 Report Card was a central item. Board consideration of the Report Card provides a snapshot of academic performance and other indicators that inform local decision making on curriculum priorities, staffing allocation, and resource needs. While the board did not announce specific policy shifts at the meeting the review signals attention to accountability metrics that can shape budget and program choices in the coming months.
The board approved a five thousand dollar donation to the FFA program, a contribution that will be applied to agricultural education activities and student opportunities in the district. For families and community partners the donation underscores local support for vocational programming and extracurricular learning that supplement classroom instruction.
Members also reviewed a first draft of the 2026 to 2027 school calendar, an early step in a process that affects family schedules, transportation planning, and community childcare arrangements. The calendar draft stage gives staff and the public time to identify conflicts and offer input before a final calendar is adopted.
The meeting included recognition of students in the Hiland WKLM Student of the Week program and a list of personnel moves comprising hires and approvals that will affect classroom staffing and school operations. The board set its January organizational meeting date to establish governance roles for the new year and to continue oversight of district priorities.
The actions taken at the November meeting reflect routine governance and budget stewardship, while also highlighting areas where community engagement matters. Residents who want to follow board decisions or weigh in on the proposed calendar should note the January organizational meeting and watch for posted agendas and public comment opportunities.
