• Mr. Reed acknowledged our mid-year retirees with a brief introduction and presented them with a district gift as we congratulated them on their years of dedicated service to Huber Heights City Schools.

• Matt Cropper, from Cropper GIS, and Mr. Enix presented the final redistricting project update and recommendations to the Board. Visit https://tinyurl.com/2sh5d88n to view the presentation. This year-long project and analysis of multiple options has led to a final recommendation that minimally impacts our current district configuration while providing a slightly higher level of transportation efficiency. While this project did not meet the goals of balancing building utilization, it was determined that doing so would create a significant disruption to students, families, and staff, and perhaps create unintended consequences that could have been potentially detrimental to the district. The Board is scheduled to take action on this recommendation in January.

• Following November’s draft presentation of the 2025-2026 Wayne High School and Weisenborn Junior High Program of Studies, the final draft was approved on Thursday. This sets the beginning of course registration and master schedule creation in motion for the next school year. Visit https://tinyurl.com/47evcjwz to view the Program of Studies.

• Following several months of financial discussions during Board work sessions this fall, and the most recently approved Five-Year Forecast in November, the Board of Education approved a Resolution of Necessity for a 6.9-mill continuing operating levy. This is the first of a two-resolution requirement to place a levy on the May 6, 2025, ballot.

• The Board approved the updated district technology and acceptable use document, which reflects the recent changes in Ohio law. These changes were communicated to district families in October when SB29 went into effect.

• The Board approved a number of personnel items. Highlights include appointments to vacant and extra-duty positions, resignations, granting extended time for guidance counselors, resignations, administrative contract renewals, transitioning our district Registrar to a classified supervisor administrative contract, and appointment of Adam Reed, current Director of Human Resources, to the new title of Assistant Superintendent.

Mr. Enix thanked Mr. Cropper and his team, along with members of the Public Advisory Committee, Internal Planning Team, and all those who provided feedback and input into the redistricting project. He also thanked our senior citizens for their attendance at the 51st annual Holiday Dinner, as well as the students, staff, and administrative team that participated in the event. Special thanks were extended to sponsors and donors who supported the event. Mr. Enix wished all of our students, families, staff, and community members a very happy holiday season.
