– Paving work at BHS Sycamore Island and other campus areas
– Asphalt work on the hill driveway at Bellefontaine Elementary School (BES)
– Various repairs and upgrades to BHS facilities and AcuSport Stadium, including goalpost restoration, new LED systems, and improved connectivity
Attendees asked questions about the school budget, tax abatements, and the district’s relationship with the Bellefontaine Police Department. Hall provided a copy of the district’s five-year forecast, detailing a positive fiscal outcome for the 2024 fiscal year, which ended on June 30th with a surplus of $38,549. The district also reduced spending by approximately $1 million over the past year.
Hall expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to discuss school-related topics with the community and reminded residents that they can contact him at the board office anytime at (937) 593-9060.
The next “BCS Chat with the Superintendent” is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23rd at 6:30 p.m. in the Distance Learning Center.
