Key Items Key Items

  • Principal Harris and the representatives of Wright Brothers Elementary showcased students from every grade level who have exhibited outstanding growth during the 2024-2025 school year. These students were acknowledged for their effort, dedication, achievement, and growth mindset as they improved in various academic areas this school year.
  • Technology Supervisor Nancy Eben gave a presentation on ParentSquare, the district-selected communication and technology platform recommendation to replace our current system. ParentSquare dramatically increases the ability for communication between staff and families/students in a safe environment while also meeting the technology requirements for archiving communication. Staff will be piloting this system in the spring with full implementation being prepared during the summer months, once approved.
  • Corine Doll, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, reviewed previously presented summer school information with the scaled-back version of recommended programs for approval. These include credit recovery and first-time credit courses at the high school and required reading intervention for the 3rd-grade reading guarantee. These programs are anticipated to be cost-neutral due to HS course tuition and federal funding for elementary reading. This “Phase I” approach was approved by the Board.
  • Mrs. Doll also recognized Charles Huber, Monticello, and Valley Forge as recipients of the Science of Reading Governor’s Award. HHCS has 3 of the 47 schools in the state of Ohio recognized for their commitment to the implementation of the Science of Reading.
  • The Board approved a settlement agreement in a Public Records dispute with Mr. Randall Smith.
  • The new Special Education Model Policies and Procedures were approved by the Board in a resolution that included four modifications provided by OSBA legal counsel.
  • A new lease agreement with ProSource was approved for copiers and printers throughout the district.
  • The March OSBA policy updates/revisions were approved at the recommendation of the Policy Committee, which met twice in the last month to review the required policy revisions and select permissive language as needed. This significant update follows a series of legislative updates at the conclusion of the 135th general assembly in the winter of 2024.
  • The Board approved a resolution acknowledging Staff Appreciation Week beginning May 5, 2025. Board members all commented on their appreciation for all of the staff in Huber Heights City Schools.

Superintendent Update Superintendent Update

Mr. Enix commented on two important legislative issues currently being watched carefully in Columbus:

  • The Biennium Budget Bill - HB96 was approved this week with several modifications from the original version. It now moves to the Senate for the next steps in the process. The budget process, as with other legislative bills, undergoes changes throughout until finally signed into law. It bears watching closely, but Mr. Enix re-emphasized that this will continue to evolve before it becomes finalized.

  • SB158 has been introduced in the Senate, which would ban cell phones during the school day (with certain exceptions). Governor DeWine gave a press conference earlier in the week on this issue, and it appears that this will be moving forward in the legislative process. Last summer, HB250 required Boards of Education to adopt a policy to either eliminate or severely limit cell phones by July 1, 2025. HHCS has sought feedback on this matter throughout the year and is preparing to comply with HB250 in the coming months. This is being watched closely as we approach the July 1 deadline.


Mr. Enix also gave an update on the transportation audit currently underway. As part of the redistricting process, as well as the new software being utilized, it is a good time to complete a thorough review of all aspects of transportation to ensure compliance with Board policy, time efficiency, route organization, and ridership throughout the district. This is an ongoing process that is expected to be finalized early this summer in advance of the 2025-2026 transportation notice this summer.


Mr. Enix wished all of the students the very best during testing season that is now underway, and expressed appreciation for the hard work by both students and staff throughout the year. It is time to “Show What You Know!”
