The Hamilton Southeastern School Board is looking to voluntary re-balancing as a way to reduce the student population at HSE Intermediate/Junior High on Cyntheanne Road. After a public meeting to discuss possible redistricting last week, Superintendent Allen Bourff told the board 89 families have expressed an interest in moving voluntarily to re-balance the student population at HSE Intermediate/Junior High. The administration is in the process of making contacts with the 89 families to verify interest in moving their children voluntarily out of HSE Intermediate/Junior High. The board took no action, awaiting the follow-up with the 89 local households.
The board received a presentation on preliminary plans to renovate Cumberland Road Elementary School. You can view the presentation at this link. Board members also received the preliminary proposal to renovate the central office building on Cumberland Road. You can view that presentation at this link.
