Key motions and results:

1) Approve February 25 financial statements, monthly general fund rolling report, monthly cash reconciliation and monthly fund activity report; certified Then-and-Now purchase orders totaling $13,977.61 — motion approved by roll call (Mister Dahl: yes; Missus Durnbaugh: yes; Doctor Graff: yes; Megan Sparks: yes; Doctor Roark: yes).

2) Approve minutes of the Feb. 24 regular meeting — approved by roll call (unanimous yes).

3) Approve a resolution accepting the amounts and rates as determined by the budget commission and authorizing tax levies and certifying them to the county auditor for tax year 2526 — approved by roll call (unanimous yes). The administration described this as an annual compliance listing of existing levies required by the county auditor.

4) Authorize the filing of original complaints against tax valuation pursuant to RC 5715.19 for listed commercial/industrial properties — approved by roll call (unanimous yes).

6) Approve resolution authorizing purchase of HVAC work for the CHS back gym project (two commercial HVAC units) from the lowest and best bidder, total $469,000 — approved by roll call (unanimous yes).

The staff presentation explained that state guidance recognizes multiple forms of homelessness, including doubles-up living arrangements, shelters, camping grounds and other unstable housing. The district noted that “homeless” does not always mean living in public places or cars, and that in many local cases students are temporarily staying with relatives or other households.

The report said district policy aims to preserve students’ school of origin for continuity of instruction, and the district is responsible for transporting homeless students to that school when it is in the student’s best interest. Staff noted that interruptions in school placement—even moving between elementary buildings—can disrupt learning.

Officials provided the student-level breakdown included in the presentation: of the 32 students, nine have individualized education programs (IEPs), two have 504 plans, and three are English-language learners. Staff said the district’s trend has been steady; the district had 33 students in the 2020–21 year and presently remains near that level.

District staff emphasized that most homeless cases locally fall into a “fixed” category (more permanent living with another household) and that public facilities or camping grounds are less common. Staff invited anyone with concerns or information about homeless students to contact the district’s family resource/attendance officer for assistance.

No board action was required; the presentation was informational.","District staff reported 32 students currently classified as homeless, affecting 27 families; the board heard how Ohio definitions of homelessness apply, how IEP/504/ELL status intersects, and the district’s responsibility for transportation to maintain school stability.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6124795,"Centerville City School Board votes to join statewide school-funding coalition",350,1417000,1767000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2679445-079d78b545f6dd27a3811b01e7d1d350&start=1417&end=1767","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2679445-079d78b545f6dd27a3811b01e7d1d350/thumbnail_1417000.jpg","/articles/6124795/Centerville-City/School-Districts/Ohio/Centerville-City-School-Board-votes-to-join-statewide-school-funding-coalition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124795-d621a8178b3cfe877fecd55d3e50f433/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199786&Signature=bytM5KX0nNAP-4FEW-sFHICMT~cXYDdICQi~ate~KjiYFlw~JLhXgHJskn1BfT1h2pT8ATmFlQwZVo2fcd7FTFWCZ7WJDYIuzRNc4aJYgkCM2ATvG4W1C35vAKFt-LlDBOK7Sbk4diBliExRbT4nkViug~yyUUd7vRvgKqGrc3sZI~9OSdaPGuEYPx5p33l-GAWV8ntWoWkB~ZFq9C7CrX9d1QIMRjNHwx7Yb8G1RmNrQ~0chmd94VOKz3B46C0krlpmy~5a0Dq7NgaVicBflKMG6TvKufTEXR~lMiauD2M4iduZ18UBdtgbzx1FT9bD7ZwLqB0~tFb3LQpm5YXsRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Centerville City Board of Education voted to join the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding for the 2024-25 school year, with a 4-1 roll-call vote during the regular meeting. Board members approved the resolution to become a joiner in the coalition; one member voted no.

Board members said the decision is intended to amplify the district’s advocacy for changes to Ohio’s school-funding system amid state budget proposals the board said could reduce state support while expanding vouchers.

Board members and staff described the move as both a statement and a strategic action. The board president read a prepared explanation distributed as a frequently asked question, saying the district has relied heavily on local property taxes and that recent state proposals would shift more money to voucher programs. That explanation said the district hopes “by joining our voice with more than now 300 of the public school districts, our legislators will work toward a fairer school funding system.”

Board members discussed timing and cost. One member noted the lawsuit the coalition supports is not expected to move forward until November and reported that a private community group had offered to raise funds to cover the district’s joiner fee. Another board member said fundraising would likely continue regardless of the board’s vote and observed that the fee would be the same whether the district joined now or in July, and that joining now would extend membership through July 2026.

When the board called the roll on the resolution, the votes were: Mister Dahl — yes; Missus Durnbaugh — no; Doctor Graff — yes; Megan Sparks — yes; Doctor Roark — yes.

The board’s motion authorizes staff to proceed with the membership; the resolution does not itself change district spending levels or levy schedules.

Board members and staff also urged public engagement with legislators, citing multiple state bills the district is monitoring, including House Bill 96 and measures relating to candidate party designations and prohibitions on certain diversity, equity and inclusion employment practices. The board encouraged residents to use provided materials to contact legislators and said district representatives would be at the Statehouse for the Ohio School Boards Association legislative day.

The resolution to join the coalition now is intended to make the district’s concerns part of a larger, coordinated legal and advocacy effort rather than to commit new operating funds from the district beyond the joiner fee and any future decisions the board might make.","The Centerville City Board of Education voted 4-1 to join the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding for the 2024-25 school year after a discussion about timing, fundraising and state budget pressures.","actionData","errors"]
