Superintendent reports enrollment figures, grants and community recognitions
Summary
Ohio County Schools reported 4,755 students districtwide, detailed numbers for home-schooling and exemption K students, and announced community donations including $12,207.84 from Wheeling Island Casino to Madison Elementary and a matched $1,000 grant for Wheeling Park High School museum.
At the start of the Nov. 12 meeting the central-office presenter reported district enrollment of 4,755 students and provided breakdowns: 213 home-school students (11 in a separate individualized instructional program receiving co-funding), 283 students receiving HOPE funding, and 1,488 exemption K students (private/parochial). The presenter also said the district employs 499 professional staff and 299 service staff.
The presenter thanked Wheeling Island Casino for a $12,207.84 donation to Madison Elementary to support academics, social-emotional learning, PBIS and field trips, and noted that a $1,000 Wheeling Heritage grant for a Wheeling Park High School museum had been matched by a private donor. Board members asked clarifying questions about overlapping counts and thanked staff for the reporting and the work on Veterans Day and other community events.
The report served as the informational opening to the meeting; no formal action was taken on the enrollment figures, but board members asked that the data be shared to the board in written form for reference.
