Diane Rosenberg (Hyde Park resident) and John Zinsser (Save Hyde Park Square) described neighborhood alarm about construction and its effect on children who walk to school. Zinsser cited a parent survey his organization conducted: 92% of responding families said there is a current pedestrian-safety issue at Hyde Park School; 94% said construction would increase safety concerns; 96% asked that an action plan with parent input be created and studies completed before a city vote.

Zinsser specifically requested the board use its joint meeting with city council (scheduled for April 16) to press for an MOT (methods of traffic) study and a thorough transportation-impact study (TIS) so the city will not vote on the project without that information. He asked the board to request the city delay its vote until the studies and community input are completed.

District staff said they had shared information with the development group and the school principal; board members asked superintendent’s staff to designate a CPS representative to meet with developers and the community to focus on student safety. The board did not take an action vote; several trustees noted the matter will be discussed in the upcoming joint city-council session.

The administration said the proposed summer program is leaner than earlier models and uses a mix of Title funds and administrative carryover rather than the larger ESSER-driven models used immediately after COVID.

Program details and evidence: The administration linked a summer-school fact sheet and fall diagnostic data showing prior-year attendees’ outcomes. Murphy said the previous Summer Scholars program recorded 2,522 students who actually attended, and the district used attendance data (not registrations) to measure fall diagnostic improvements.

Board members asked about curriculum (whether paused materials would be restored), attendance and persistence (concerns that students who register do not always attend), transportation costs and incentives to improve retention. The administration said curriculum held in abeyance would be included and that data reviews and return-on-investment expectations for summer dollars will be tracked. The district also flagged credit-recovery opportunities for newly enrolled DAWN students and said about 237 DAWN students had enrolled in the district.

Budget context and next steps: The administration presented a smaller budget than earlier proposals and is seeking board approval so staff can order supplies. Members asked administration to present year-by-year historical summer budgets and outcomes (pre-COVID, COVID-era ESSER spending and the scaled budgets afterward); the treasurer offered to provide a multi-year budget history at a future meeting. The board did not take a formal vote on summer programming at the April 7 meeting; staff requested board support and said they will return with program materials and post-summer outcome analyses.

Shara Fisher Jackson, executive director of Cincinnati Preschool Promise, said the organization’s board believes current funding levels are insufficient for long-term expansion but that “this is not the right time to go ask the voters for more.” Fisher Jackson said Preschool Promise’s board would prefer a 10-year renewal that preserves the current funding level and allows partners to plan jointly for a future ask.

At the same time Treasurer Wagner and finance staff briefed the board on options and constraints for a November ballot measure. The district’s primary operating levy (often described at $48 million) is currently on a five-year renewal cycle. The treasurer outlined four basic paths: renew the levy for five years, renew for ten years, pursue a substitute levy (which keeps the tax rate but captures new-construction growth to increase revenue) or pursue a replacement levy (which would reset the millage to original levels and raise property-tax bills). Treasurer Wagner cautioned that replacement levies have been targeted in pending legislation and that the state legislative landscape is in flux.

The treasurer also presented income-tax options as an alternative revenue approach (examples: a 0.5% resident income tax would generate an estimated $64 million annually; a 1.0% tax would generate roughly $129 million in his calculation for resident-based traditional income tax). Staff recommended two practical tracks for the district: pursue a $48 million 10-year renewal or pursue a substitute levy in November, and consider an income-tax measure in 2026 to address longer-term operational needs and facility repairs.

Board members pressed for timing and messaging. Board Member Lindy said voters will expect a clear “what’s different” case if the district asks for new money, pointing to relatively flat performance-index scores since 2016 despite higher spending. Members discussed the overlap of potential city tax proposals and the need to avoid ballot-fatigue for voters. The treasurer said a legal board resolution certifying the district’s levy choice must be filed with the county by late July, and recommended the board aim to finalize direction by May to allow time for planning and outreach.

State budget bills under consideration further complicate planning: presenters described House and Senate proposals that would change how growth and fixed-sum levies interact with the 20-mill floor, limit levy replacement mechanisms, and cap carryover balances; if enacted, those changes could reduce local revenue options for districts. The administration told the board it will return with scenario materials (what different levy choices would fund) and recommended messaging to present to voters.

The administration’s slide deck split the district into corridor groupings (East, Central and West), identified which schools would be CLICKE lead-agency sites and proposed a 0.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) sharing model for smaller schools. For some locations the presentation recommended no resource coordinator, citing small enrollment or alternate supports (for example, Family Service Assistants at the Rising Star sites and virtual programs). Superintendent Murphy said the configuration would produce a $700,000 reduction in the fiscal year 2026 budget: “My recommendation, would be to this plan will allow us to, reduce our budget for the fiscal year 26 by $700,000,” she told the board.

Details and clarifications offered at the meeting included a working threshold of about 350 students as the level that typically supports a full-time resource coordinator; the administration said that number is “a little tight” but informed the staffing model. The presentation listed several schools that, under the plan, would not have a full-time resource coordinator now: Bramble, Gilligan, Virtual/Riverview East and Rising Star locations; the administration noted those sites would rely on other supports (lead agencies or Family Service Assistants) where appropriate.

Board members and community speakers flagged local differences. Silverton residents, including Bridal Bourne (Silverton Council, LSDMC), said Silverton Elementary (reported enrollment 323 that day) has unusually high community partnerships and events and asked the board to preserve a single dedicated resource coordinator rather than require sharing. Angie Wilson, a Spencer Center parent and PTSO interim president, thanked the board for valuing resource coordinators but asked administrators to plan for displaced Spencer students and alternative locations after recent flooding.

The board asked for additional detail: which sites would share coordinators and how principals would be supported when a school lacks a full-time coordinator; the administration said it will return with site-level pairings and additional implementation detail. No final board vote on the restructuring was recorded in the transcript; the matter remained in the discussion/direction stage.

Under the motion the board approved — described in the superintendent’s materials as “option 2” — athletic directors will transition into a CAS-equivalent role (CAS is the district’s administrators’ collective-bargaining structure) and be brought fully into the district by August 2025. “My recommendation is going to be that they would transition August 2025,” Superintendent Murphy said during the presentation.

Why this matters: The change shifts athletic directors from their current outside-contract arrangement to regular district employment. Board members and staff said the move aims to align pay and job expectations, and to avoid hourly pay that could generate overtime. Superintendent Murphy and staff credited Athletic Director Josh Harden and Assistant Superintendent Amy Randolph for planning the transition.

Board discussion focused on pay structure and job title. Board Member Craig said he supported a salaried approach because “they do a lot of stuff off schedule” and hourly pay could drive overtime. Board Member Weinberg and Vice President Bolton asked that a broader job title be considered to reflect after-school activities beyond athletics; the administration suggested “school community coordinator” or “activities coordinator” as possible alternatives to avoid confusion with existing director-level CAS roles.

Motion and vote: Board Member Weinberg moved to adopt option 2 (CAS-equivalent transition); the motion was seconded. Treasurer Wagner recorded the roll call; the motion passed by a 7–0 vote. Treasurer Wagner summarized the tally as “seventh to nothing.”

Next steps and open questions: The administration said it expects current ADs to remain in place rather than run a replacement hiring process, and it will return with a timeline and implementation details. The board asked staff to provide a detailed implementation plan (job descriptions, salary alignment, and any name/title changes) before positions are finalized.
