January 2026 BOE Meeting

The January 2026 Board of Education (BoE) meeting for the Oak Hills Local School District included a budget hearing, organizational meeting, and regular meeting. The budget hearing focused on the district's 5-year financial forecast, tax rates, and fund allocations, including the general fund, permanent improvement fund, and bond retirement fund. The board discussed property value reappraisals, millage rates, and the impact of a recent bond issue supporting new school construction projects. The permanent improvement fund, generating about $7.5 million annually, supports infrastructure projects such as building renovations and energy-saving initiatives. The board approved several resolutions related to financial management, including authorization for tax draws, investment of funds, payment of bills, and appropriation adjustments. Additionally, the board is in the process of finalizing contracts with architects and construction managers for upcoming building projects, with plans to present proposals in February. Personnel actions and operational items such as flexible scheduling for ACT testing and booster club alcohol exemptions were also approved. Overall, the meeting emphasized fiscal stewardship, capital improvement planning, and ongoing construction project management.
