The board also approved numerous certified and support personnel appointments, student teaching stipends, and a cell phone stipend for the new director of technology. Additionally, the board approved textbook adoptions for 'Business with Personal Finance' (AP course) and 'Bridges' (elementary math, third edition).

Hudson Schools Update on Building Projects, Summer Programs, and Safety Contracts
The Board of Education received updates on district activities, including progress on the orchestra room addition, a four-day architecture summer camp for 21 students held at Western Reserve Academy and funded by the Baldwin Bushouse Foundation, and the recommendation to renew the School Resource Officer (SRO) contract. The orchestra room project is on schedule, with walls forming and electrical work beginning. The architecture camp offered classroom learning and study of local architecture, including a field trip to Cleveland. The SRO contract renewal aims to continue providing safety and positive law enforcement relations.
Hudson Schools Discuss State Mandates on Math Intervention, Acceleration, and Curriculum Updates
The Board of Education discussed updates related to state requirements for intervention and acceleration in English and math, as well as upcoming curriculum changes. Senate Bill 19 mandates intervention for students scoring limited on assessments. The state will release a list of highly qualified math curricula in April 2027, and new math teaching courses are being developed. Starting July 1, 2027, an acceleration policy will require sixth graders scoring advanced and receiving an A or B to enroll in a compacted seventh/eighth-grade math course, aiming for Algebra I by eighth grade. The district currently offers compacted math courses from grade three and allows families to opt out of acceleration.

The Board of Education received and discussed the monthly financial report for May 2026. The general fund had a cash balance of $36.2 million, an increase from $30.9 million the previous year. The O24 fund balance was $2.2 million, and the health insurance self-insurance fund showed a healthy balance of $1.7 million. The average yield on investments was 3.51%, with expectations of an increase to over 4% in the next year due to new investments. The board also reviewed proposed final appropriations for FY26 and beginning appropriations for FY27, emphasizing these are high-level compliance documents that fit within the budget and annual revenues.
Superintendent Recommends Renewal of School Resource Officer Contract
The Board of Education discussed the School Resource Officer (SRO) contract renewal, emphasizing the strong relationship between the district, the city, and the police department. The recommendation is to extend the current three-year contract for another three years (2023-2026 worked well). Superintendent Addis highlighted the dedication of the three SROs and their positive impact on student safety. Board members expressed gratitude for the officers' work and the overall positive connection with the police department, noting their engagement with students and role as a resource. The MOU ensures the continuation of the SRO program.
