More than 100 administrators in Akron Public Schools will have jobs a month from now after the Akron Public Schools board fixed an earlier misstep. The board on May 30 rescinded a May 26 vote that denied 112 administrators a contract for next school year. They then voted to approve all the contracts, which start July 1. The specially called meeting May 30 was short but necessary to inform employees they would in fact still be employed.

The Akron Public Schools board will meet a second time in the same week to vote again on the contracts of 112 administrators. The board voted 5-0 on May 27 to reject a series of one- and two-year contracts for deans, principals, coordinators, assistant principals and upper-level administrators — up to and including the district's assistant superintendent. But the board will come back May 30 at 5:30 p.m., a Friday evening, to vote on the same item again.

Akron Public Schools transports 1,400 students every day by van, including those experiencing homelessness and those with significant disabilities. APS agreed to contract with a company that was formed by a van driver who worked to unite the other drivers on individual contracts. APS will use both Buckeye Logistics and Templeton Transportation to transport some of the city's most vulnerable children next school year. The hometown team brought home the win.

The Akron Public Schools board on May 27 locked in its new superintendent for the next three years. The board approved, with a 5-1 vote, a contract for Interim Superintendent Mary Outley, a Buchtel High School alum, to lose the "interim" label. Outley will make a base salary of $240,000 a year, the same as her predecessor. The board released the document following the vote.
