Summary
The Hamilton City Board unanimously approved a lease to rent an empty classroom to Butler County ESC for a Head Start classroom beginning January 2026; the district will receive $1,200 per month and the ESC will operate the classroom.
The Hamilton City Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a lease agreement allowing Butler County Educational Service Center (ESC) to use an empty classroom for a Head Start classroom.
Superintendent Andrea Blevins told the board the space will be rented at $1,200 per month, that Butler County ESC will run the Head Start program and that the arrangement will begin in January 2026. "We will charge them $1,200 a month to use that space. They will run everything," Blevins said.
Board members moved and seconded the lease; a roll call vote recorded unanimous approval from members present.
Board leaders said the lease is expected to provide a modest revenue stream and to support early childhood services in the community; the board did not discuss additional financial details or a long-term lease term in this meeting.
The lease takes effect in January 2026 and the board’s next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2026.
