Rescind Prior Board Action and Adopt Special Education Model Policies and Procedures - WHEREAS, Ohio Revised Code §3323.08 requires each school district to provide assurances to the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce ("DEW") that the district will provide for the education of children with disabilities within its jurisdiction and has in effect policies, procedures, and programs that are consistent with the policies and procedures adopted by DEW; and
WHEREAS, the DEW developed and released an updated document in December 2024 entitled “Special Education Model Policies and Procedures,” which it notified educational agencies that they could adopt to fulfill the legal requirement described in the preceding paragraph; and
WHEREAS, on or about April 4, 2025, the DEW released an updated Special Education Model Policies and Procedures; and
WHEREAS, the Board is interested in rescinding its earlier action and, instead, adopting the DEW’s 2025 Model Policies;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Education hereby rescinds Board Resolution #4-25 and adopts the DEW’s 2025 Model Policies; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board acknowledges that the 2025 Model Policies, while comprehensive, do not include every requirement set forth in the IDEA, the regulations implementing the IDEA, the Operating Standards, the Ohio Revised Code ("ORC"), and/or the Ohio Administrative Code ("OAC"), and the Board recognizes its obligation to follow these laws, along with applicable case law, regardless of whether their provisions and/or interpretations are accurately restated and/or reflected in the 2025 Model Policies; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board directs the Superintendent to notify the DEW of the Board’s adoption of the 2025 Model Policies through the DEW’s Monitoring System by uploading a copy of this Board resolution within the time frames set forth by the DEW.

Adoption of Pickup for the Director of Special Education and Director of Opportunity School - Be it resolved, effective July 1, 2025, the Wapakoneta City School District Board of Education agrees to pick up one-third of the total amount of employee contributions required by Section 3307.26, Revised Code, to be contributed by the Director of Special Education and Director of Opportunity School, excluding those retired and rehired, to STRS Ohio. Wapakoneta City School District Board of Education is permitted to pick up employee contributions pursuant to Section 3307.27, Revised Code, and Section 414(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. These picked-up contributions, although designated as employee contributions, are being paid by the Wapakoneta City School District Board of Education in lieu of employee contributions and shall be paid by the board as a fringe benefit in addition to the contract salary otherwise payable to the employee. These contributions shall be treated as additional compensation and included in salary for retirement purposes.
Employees in the Director of Special Education and Director of Opportunity School groups, excluding those retired and rehired, may not opt out of the picked-up contributions or elect to receive the contributed amounts directly instead of having them picked up by the Wapakoneta City School District Board of Education and paid to STRS Ohio.
