Oak Hills Local School District is planning a series of community forums to discuss our Master Facilities Plan. These forums will provide an opportunity for parents, staff, students, and community members to:

  • Learn about the current state of school facilities
  • Review options under consideration for upgrades, renovations, or new construction
  • Offer feedback and ask questions
  • Help shape the direction of future investments in the district's buildings

The Community Forums will take place on:

Tuesday, April 22 at Oak Hills School, 6-7:30 p.m. in the school auditorium
Wednesday, April 30 at Rapid Run Middle School, 6-7:30 p.m. in the school auditorium.

The district is seeking community input to ensure the plan reflects the needs and priorities of residents. Your feedback is vital in ensuring that our facilities support the success of our students and staff—both now and for generations to come. Thank you for your continued commitment to our schools and community.

 

OHIO’S SCHOOL FACILITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

  • Oak Hills Local School District (OHLSD) participates in Ohio’s funding program called ELPP (Expedited Local Partnership Program)

  • In ELPP, the state determines what assistance level the district qualifies for.
    The state will pay for 61% of a building project.  Local taxes will only have to pay for 39%.

  • OFCC (Ohio Facilities Construction Commission) is the department that manages Ohio’s school facility



CAT 1

Community Advisory Team

The State has approached Oak Hills Local School District with their ELPP offer.  In response, the district is undergoing a Master Facility Planning process to evaluate the best use of the state offer.

The district created a Community Advisory Team (CAT), a cross-section of community members, business owners, parents and staff to understand the key issues associated with our educational facilities.  They will review the state building assessments, the financial needs of the district, and student enrollment trends.

The CAT then develops and evaluates a list of potential solutions with the ultimate goal of refining the list down to a single master plan for the entire community. The CAT will make a formal recommendation to the Board of Education.

Along the process, the greater community will have the opportunity to review plan options and provide feedback. The district has partnered with SHP to assist with the planning process.
