Dr. Schwanke, speaking for the Department of Academics and Student Learning, said the current handbooks are \"accurate and they are comprehensive as they stand, perhaps too comprehensive.\" Schwanke told trustees the department will work next year to \"reduce much of the text, especially text that's redundant and perhaps repeated when not necessary,\" and to modernize and digitize the handbooks.

Schwanke said the revision will be a team effort involving the academic team, including Sam Althouse and Mike Uhling, and that the goal is to make the handbooks easier for parents and students to use. The board approved the superintendent\u0000s recommendation to adopt items 5b and 5c (the second reading of the handbooks) by roll call vote, 5-0.

Operations director Mister Stark told trustees the recommended contracts cover design and construction administration for plumbing work at Jerome Kaufman and Old Sawmill, a multi-year asphalt maintenance schedule (including a priority list and five-year plan), and HVAC engineering work for boilers, chillers and air-handling units at several buildings. Stark recommended AEC for plumbing design, Kleininger\u0000s group for asphalt assessment and scheduling, and Prater Engineering for HVAC design and public bidding.

Stark described the Riverside project as a two-summer effort: \"This summer they're putting in the distribution system... next year, we pull out all the equipment in the back room.\" He said LED lighting and ceiling work are part of the current phase and that occupants will see improvements when the project completes.

Treasurer Mister Kern described a transfer on the agenda related to opening Bishop Elementary: principal funds from existing elementaries will seed Bishop\u0000s principal fund for the coming school year. Stark and the superintendent said the district will host an open house for the community at 5 p.m. and a ribbon-cutting at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 at Bishop Elementary, followed by the board meeting at 6 p.m.

The board approved items 9a through 9c, covering the recommended design contracts and related actions, by roll call vote 5-0. The agenda also noted a $17,000 donation from Speer Mechanical for convocation T-shirts and that five roofs previously approved will proceed next year.

Why it matters: The design contracts and maintenance planning represent multi-year capital maintenance and modernization efforts; Bishop Elementary\u0000s opening and community events mark operational changes for the district ahead of the new school year.","The board approved design and bid administration contracts for plumbing, asphalt and HVAC work ahead of next summer's construction, confirmed a $17,000 donation for convocation shirts and set an open house and ribbon-cutting for Bishop Elementary on Aug. 11.",{"_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":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6184130,"State budget cash-cap prompts caution; Dublin City Schools says short-term carryover safe but future levy cycles at risk",972,827000,1799000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093003-0d24778f02d394b58af4ef8052d078d2&start=827&end=1799","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093003-0d24778f02d394b58af4ef8052d078d2/thumbnail_827000.jpg","/articles/6184130/Ohio/State-budget-cash-cap-prompts-caution-Dublin-City-Schools-says-short-term-carryover-safe-but-future-levy-cycles-at-risk","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184130-75d0f785ee981570bbefa9be1a3eec90/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178620&Signature=hJFaR2o48h9KyQpclfhMtHEu2JO0anGShWTLsNWbU6kxU5Z4S50FdyM13~g59pMT6-MwcGIGESgSuFWnQKfseaNPKVyqXehjf8VwgwHrpDOMstX0YTxIvH5444CTjJmu3P50-jpynxA2QtbTVXa7Vbz7zmkEMwCCyKKC39m0O392d5rNCtWnOmppWIDmUux1hUtR1JqoMxiI9S-xJO5M3qhS8diS5mkE0eYkkKfC2L5-sTBhqbhdVhCZQZLKQ7tI7YTn8qhSO4IbpBggD1nhUppj658OHrNvjBPB0pE47BDWgJApER34JCCCoQpto4pJHBzMWqHdo43q0590IbJh7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District leaders told the board that changes in the Ohio biennial budget could limit how much cash school districts carry over from year to year and may affect future levy cycles.

Superintendent Dr. Marshhausen told trustees that the district\u0000s lobbying and coordination with local officials helped blunt the most severe proposals. \"When the first cap that came out was 30%, which would have been incredibly harmful to our five-year forecast,... we got our senators involved, and they raised it up to 50%. It ended up landing at 40% for a cash cap,\" Marshhausen said. He added the district expects to finish the fiscal year at about 38.9% carryover and that the cap, as written, does not threaten the district\u0000s short-term carryover but could complicate multi-year levy planning.

Treasurer Mister Kern said the change from a five-year forecast to a four-year forecast may alter reporting timing and noted broader statewide effects: \"There are 370 districts across the state that this will affect with a potential revenue loss of about $2,270,000,000.\" Kern cautioned there are exemptions for certain set-asides and that county budget commissions (county auditor, county treasurer and county prosecutor) will have new authority to adjust levy rates based on submitted finances.

Kern summarized district-year-end figures: the district closed its books for FY '25 with roughly $295,000,000 in revenues (about $650,000 under projections) and an expected reimbursement of about $706,000 for Science of Reading stipends to be received in July. He said expenditures ran approximately $780,000 over projections on a roughly $293,000,000 expense base; timing of payments explained part of that variance. Kern said the district expects the general fund position to be close to forecast after reimbursements.

The board approved related year-end financial actions on the agenda, including transfers to seed Bishop Elementary principal funds and temporary advances to cover grant reimbursement timing; the motions passed by roll call (items 6b through 6f approved 5-0). Kern said most advances relate to state and federal grant reimbursement timing, and one longer-standing negative balance in the Jerome tournament account will be researched.

Why it matters: The cash-carryover cap and forecasting changes reduce flexibility for districts statewide. While Dublin City Schools officials said short-term carryover is not in immediate jeopardy, the cap could force shorter levy cycles, lower millage in future levies, or incremental levies to maintain services if districts cannot build carryover beyond the cap.","District officials said the state\u0000s budget changes, including a cash-carryover cap, reduced the number of levers local governments can use for revenue. Dublin City Schools officials said they expect to finish the year near current forecasts but warned the cap could shorten future levy cycles and affect long-term planning.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6184132,"Dublin City Schools board approves superintendent—s four-year contract through 2029",114,558000,672000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093003-0d24778f02d394b58af4ef8052d078d2&start=558&end=672","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093003-0d24778f02d394b58af4ef8052d078d2/thumbnail_558000.jpg","/articles/6184132/Ohio/Dublin-City-Schools-board-approves-superintendents-four-year-contract-through-2029","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184132-5b3eca06c81879f3ccb5cb4997697b00/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178620&Signature=QldIEFAntYKx8N7aIQcprVMM~Azt4WEU0ueOz6-pRZ2Lt7HR5vuarYjWR8JTrZobe6Al~MMACB8VriJp39eVCBo7acHECmhMr3uBZOWqK3D8t5~cWsbDNP1ABZo1hjNJMW2uw6V4oHjgdeXz0V3QW~6NSxnD1hTzFO9maDmyq8YMBtCsJs63ZbxO9XfO0p0eswUKlB2IpHmHYvBHf7rpvLswReGxoU7e00ptPr~UKmTPAIhBCHV3qMXHJabK2twUl6iIfUsygNSYHV6EDSzjL1DfuuT4BKorbcASp1BLsRtQhtFhkTcki6gwT2U2-tycntnocwyoZlf12kC1phoHMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dublin City Schools Board of Education voted 5-0 to approve an addendum rehiring Dr. Marshhausen to a new contract of employment as superintendent effective Aug. 2, 2025, through July 31, 2029.

Board member Missus Rigby opened the board\u0000s remarks after the vote by praising Marshhausen\u0000s leadership: \"Dr. Marshhausen has been steadfast to lead the district in an accountable and measurable way. Journey 2030 is an example of his leadership as it incorporates planning, preparing, executing, and reflecting.\" Rigby said Marshhausen led the district through a successful levy campaign and that the superintendent \"was tireless in his efforts to communicate and inform the community.\"

Dr. Marshhausen thanked the board for its confidence and described district leadership as an effort shared with the board and senior staff, saying, \"When I talk about leadership in a school district, we talk about a leadership team being the seven of you plus Mr. Kern and myself.\" He said the district will continue to focus on student performance and adapt its five-year goals annually.

Board members moved and seconded the motion on the addendum: the motion was moved by Mister Valentine and seconded by Missus Gillis; the roll call showed five yes votes and no dissent. The motion language on the agenda recommended approval of \"the attached addendum for the retire, rehire of Dr. Marshhausen and a new contract of employment for him to serve as superintendent of schools effective 08/02/2025 through 07/31/2029.\" The board approved that recommendation by roll call vote, 5-0.

Why it matters: Board members and the superintendent framed the rehire as continuity of leadership while flagging near-term challenges the district faces, including redistricting and changes in state funding that may affect future levy cycles. The board will receive regular updates and annual goal proposals at upcoming meetings.

The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote.","The Dublin City Schools Board of Education voted 5-0 to approve an addendum rehiring Dr. Marshhausen as superintendent from Aug. 2, 2025, through July 31, 2029; board members praised his leadership and noted upcoming challenges including redistricting and state budget pressures.","actionData","errors"]
