• The May Five-Year Forecast was presented and approved by the Board of Education. The forecast is required to be submitted to ODEW twice a year, in May and November, and is a snapshot in time of the district’s financial picture. As a result, it is used as a planning tool for both short- and long-term decisions to maintain focus on fiscal responsibility.

• Mr. Enix reviewed the HHCS Redistricting Project timeline of events, with an emphasis on the upcoming Public Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting on May 20. This first PAC meeting will focus on project objectives and collaborative discussion on priorities and will guide the summer work of the Internal Planning Team to begin creating potential options for consideration. He also provided an overview of the now active website dedicated to this project, including the timeline, map features, school zones, planning blocks and how they are used in the mapping process, and the community feedback form. Visit the HHCS Redistricting website.
• Community Conversations are scheduled through July on various dates, times, and locations.
