The Rossford Board of Education has sold a unused building on Lime City Road to Perrysburg Township.

The sale price was $110,600.

The building, across the road from the township's government complex, at one time was Lime City School, but it was without utility service and not usable by the district. The board agreed to the sale at its regular meeting last week.

In other business, the board decided to hire Garmann/Miller Architects of Minster, Ohio, for an assessment of the district's buildings. The firm's fee has not been set.

Garmann/Miller was the recommendation of the district's master plan steering committee, which was formed to help officials determine what building upgrades are needed.

The board also approved hiring Campbell Inc. for maintenance of the district's building environmental systems.

The contract will run for three years starting Oct. 1 and cost $11,116 the first year, $11,776 the second year, and $12,456 in the third.

The board also authorized a contract with the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West for the services of Jason Smith as director of curriculum, testing, and intervention services, effective Oct. 1 through Aug. 15, 2013.

The cost is $105,912.49 and includes pension, insurance, and Medicare and workers' compensation insurance premiums.

Other spending approved includes extending the hours of bus driver Michelle Milsaps from 3.75 a day to 4.5. She is to be paid $20.68 an hour.

The board approved hiring Randy Taylor and Erin Kozina as bus drivers at the same rate and Raymond Mason as a cafeteria/playground aide at $13.63 an hour.

Mr. Taylor is to work 3.75 hours a day, Ms. Kozina 2.5 hours, and Mr. Mason two hours.

The board also approved the resignation of Mona Smith, head cook at Eagle Point Elementary School.

Two mothers of high school wrestlers complained to board member about the poor condition of the wrestling team's training room, which they said had mold and water leaks.
