    School Board calls special meeting to rescind appointment of new member

    Dr. Brad Goldie

    Loveland, Ohio – In a special meeting on July 17, the Loveland City School District voted to appoint Dr. Brad Goldie to fill the unexpired term of  Kevin Daugherty. According to a news release by the District on Monday, the Board will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, July 26th, at 5 PM to rescind the appointment because the front door of the building was locked to the public.

    For background: School Board appoints Dr. Brad Goldie to vacant position.

    The new special meeting will be held in the LIS/LMS Media Center at 757 South Lebanon Road. Hearing from the public will not be included in the agenda for this meeting.

    The recommended action on the agenda for the meeting is only to “rescind its appointment of a candidate to the vacant Board seat.” Nothing in the communications revel when the Board might again vote to make an appointment to the vacant seat. Daugherty’s resignation was effective, June 30th.

    Below is the statement released Monday by Board President, Dr. Kathryn Lorenz:

    July 24, 2023

    The Loveland City School District Board of Education held a Special Meeting on July 17, 2023, to fill a vacancy on the Board. After interviewing all interested candidates, the Board voted unanimously to appoint Dr. Brad Goldie.

    All public portions of the July 17 Special Meeting were recorded and are available to view on the Board’s YouTube page. Due to an oversight, the front door of the building was not unlocked to allow public access. Because of this procedural error, I have called a Special Meeting of the Loveland Board of Education for this Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at 5 pm in the Media Center of the Loveland Intermediate School.

    During this week’s Special Meeting, the Board will consider a motion to rescind the action taken during the July 17 Meeting. I will be bringing forward this motion in the interest of transparency and following proper procedure – it is no reflection on Dr. Goldie or any of the candidates who indicated an interest in the Board vacancy. I want to thank Dr. Goldie for his interest and willingness to serve.

    In his weekly newsletter issued today , Superintendent Mike Broadwater released the following statement:

    Superintendent’s Message

    Loveland Tiger Community,

    We have been working together as a community over the past few months to build a Strategic Vision. Families, students, community members, and staff have been involved in great conversations, providing feedback about the future they want for our Loveland Tiger students. Together we’ve designed a plan with the goal areas of student success, collaborative culture, community engagement, and fiscal responsibility.

    Review the five-year forecast

    We will unveil our completed Strategic Vision during Launch Night on Monday, June 6 at 5 pm in the Loveland Middle School Cafeteria. I’m excited for everyone to see the results of our community’s hard work. This informal meeting is an opportunity to talk about what our Strategic Vision means for our kids and our district. Following Launch Night, our Board of Education will hold a Special Meeting at 6 pm to review the Strategic Vision.

    During the Special Board of Education Meeting, the Board will hear from our Treasurer about present and future District finances, revenues, and resources. Federal ESSER pandemic relief funds and significant cuts after the March 2020 levy failure have allowed the district to delay requesting additional funding. The district’s most recent five-year forecast projects the district will move into deficit spending beginning in Fiscal Year 2023. You can review the five-year forecast by following this link.

    The timeline for placing a levy on the ballot in November requires the Board to take action over the summer. If any action is taken, we will be sure to update our community. Over the past several months we have had many community members involved in our Strategic Vision process, and we look forward to more great conversations about the future of Loveland City Schools.

    Have a safe, happy summer, and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

    Mike Broadwater
