HCCS Public Work Session - November 9, 2026

The HCCS Public Work Session on November 9, 2026, opened with a presentation by Huntington North High School’s Essential Skills students about their Essential Sips coffee program, which uses sales to support community-based instruction and classroom experiences. The board then reviewed enrollment and state funding trends: fall ADM was down 144 students from the prior fall, an estimated $1,095,801 reduction at the stated per-student funding rate of $7,580.78. Officials noted that the estimate could change after the spring count. The board discussed enrollment projections, staffing adjustments through attrition, class sizes, and the possibility of requesting an updated demographic study; no study was authorized.

The remaining discussion covered K–12 academic results and plans, including attendance, literacy and math supports, state assessment checkpoints, SAT performance, dual-credit courses, and the state’s forthcoming accountability model. No procurement actions, contract awards, spending approvals, or other substantive votes were identified; the meeting stated there were no action items, and the only motion was to adjourn.
