10/21/2026 Board of Education

The Forest Hills School District Board of Education held its regular meeting on October 21, 2026. The Board unanimously approved the consent agenda, including an addendum to the Hamilton County Educational Service Center annual contract: orientation and mobility services were removed because the provider could not supply them, while occupational therapy services increased from 6.4 to 7.0 FTE to meet student needs. No dollar amount was stated. The agenda also included HR actions, transportation impracticality resolutions, and overnight field trips. The Board approved a joint-planning MOU and appointed representatives; the discussion specified that construction, facilities, tax levies, and bond issues are outside that committee’s scope.

The Forest Hills Foundation reported that it expects to award more than 26 collaborative teacher grants totaling over $116,000, funded by donors and benefiting all nine schools; this was a foundation update, not a district contract award. District leaders also reviewed enrollment and staffing trends, noting that staffing has been reallocated to address changing student needs, including increased special-education support. No other specific procurement awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
