• Charles Huber Principal Pam Krach and Assistant Principal Drew Snyder presented part three of the collaborative elementary school spotlights for the year. The focus was on instructional practice and staff professional development to meet the needs of our diverse student population.

• Board member Mark Combs, the legislative liaison to OSBA, provided a brief overview of legislative activity in Columbus. This is a new feature of the agenda to allow for information and discussion at the Board meeting about pending or signed legislation that could impact HHCS and public education.

• Superintendent Jason Enix presented a 2025-2026 calendar revision proposal, eliminating the early release days for the remainder of the year to increase the instructional hours for all students, as well as adjusting the calamity makeup days if needed. This is part one of a proposal to accommodate the junior high instructional minutes, which are currently below required state minimums due to the excessive calamity days this school year. The Board approved this revised calendar, pending approval of an MOU with the teacher’s association (HHEA).

• The 2026-2027 start/end times were revisited and adjusted slightly for Weisenborn Junior High, increasing the school day to seven hours and modifying the school day to 7:20 a.m.–2:20 p.m. This change requires an MOU with HHEA to increase the instructional time in the negotiated agreement for junior high staff, which would provide a larger cushion of hours and avoid the potential of calamity makeup days into the future. It is anticipated all start/end times for 2026-2027 will be on the agenda for approval in March. View the presentation on both discussion topics

• Treasurer Bryan Janson presented the district forecast, showing updated revenue and expenditures since the previous version approved in October. The forecast continues to project deficit spending of approximately $1.8M in FY 26 and $9.8M in FY27. State aid has decreased by more than $4M in the last three years, due in part to declining enrollment in HHCS of more than 400 students in the last two years. Expenses are expected to increase in the years ahead due to salaries, benefits, and operational costs. The Board approved the forecast as presented. View the presentation.

• The Board approved service agreements and district operational needs:

• Rumpke service agreement for three years (no increase in cost)

• MOU with Sinclair Community College for College Credit Plus in 2026-2027

• Shared Resource Center for temporary payroll services

• OHSAA membership for 2026-2027

• The Board approved the tentative agreements with our Dayton Public Service Union employees, representing transportation, custodial/maintenance, and nutrition services. The final agreement will be compiled soon. Companion salary schedules as a result of the negotiations were also approved.

• OSBA policy revisions were approved upon recommendation of the Policy Committee, along with a revised reimbursement form required from a policy update.

• 12 tax year 2025 resolutions were approved for Board of Revisions filings.

• A number of personnel matters were approved during a consent agenda item.
