Superintendent circulates annexation resolution draft, suggests hiring planning firms for enrollment and site studies
Summary
The superintendent presented a draft annexation resolution and asked the board whether to engage educational planning firms to study enrollment impacts, site options and potential redistricting; he identified two firms he's used before and said the draft will return after board input.
The superintendent presented a draft annexation resolution and asked the board for feedback on whether to engage an educational planning firm to assess options ranging from new-school construction to redistricting. He said firms he's used previously (one in Akron and one in Cincinnati, later referenced in shorthand as FMD and LEMAR) can perform demographic studies, site-selection work and feasibility analyses.
Board members discussed possible scenarios, including whether nearby Hubert Heights City Schools would accept transferred students, and emphasized that hiring a firm is a planning step rather than a commitment to a particular outcome. "You direct me in how you want me to go, and I'll go," the superintendent said, asking whether the board wanted both contested and uncontested annexation scenarios studied.
The superintendent said he would revise the draft to include the scenarios discussed and bring it back for formal consideration at a future meeting; no vote was taken on the draft at this meeting.
