Hilliard City Schools has decided to operate with the first policy.<br /><br />The reasons are simple: if you don't live within our school district, you don't pay our taxes. I suspect that where you live is in the Columbus City School District, meaning your tax dollars support the Columbus City Schools.<br /><br />It is true that a portion of your state income taxes goes into a big pot that is redistributed by the state government, and in recognition of that, when a student attends a school district other than the one in which the student lives, the state reallocates the state portion of the funding associated with the student to the district where the student actually attends, from the district in which the student lives.<br /><br />Districts with idle capacity may chose to offer open enrollment as way to fill that idle capacity. Here in central Ohio, Reynoldsburg is one of those districts.<br /><br />In growing school districts like Hilliard, capacity has to be reserved for the folks living in our school district, and for new residents who may move in. If you travel around our district, you will see that single family homes, condos, and apartments are again being built, and a number of new projects are in the planning and approval process. I'm not concerned about unused capacity - I'm worried about when we have to start building again.<br /><br />If you want to send your address to savehilliardschools@msn.com, I'll be happy to look up your parcel on the County Auditor's website, and confirm which school district you live in. The maps you looked at are not meant to be accurate to the parcel level. If you are a homeowner, the agent who sold you your property should have been clear about which school district it is in. If that was misrepresented, you may have legal recourse.<br /><br />If you are a renter, you might want to consider moving within the school district.<br /><br />I wish the American public school system were organized differently such that a kid's ZIP code wasn't the primary determinant as to where that kid went to school. But it's the system we have, and my primary duty is to represent the folks who elected me.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960574627644930183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-35944076429773040562015-01-14T19:22:20.440-05:002015-01-14T19:22:20.440-05:00I also live off Hayden Run Rd/Cosgray and would LO...I also live off Hayden Run Rd/Cosgray and would LOVE my children to be done with online home-schooling and finally be able to attend a school; I refuse to send them to any school that is not capable standard wise (which i hear the school in columbus is horrible!). I am looking into trying to obtain a Variance for my children; but Hilliard School District is such snobby pricks (excuse my lang) they refuse children an education when the children live in there zoning area! BS! (if you look on the map, we are outlined in the blue area, but they still have us in Columbus, I just do not get why it is like this.. I really hope people get their heads out of their asses and do something about this!) <br /><br />Anyhow...

You wouldn't be the first to have been lied to in this regard. But I have no first hand knowledge of anyone who has successfully brought such a lawsuit.<br /><br />Some folks have the fear that open enrollment would somehow weaken the district, by allowing lower income kids into our schools. I don't buy it. Kids participate in open enrollment only because they're motivated to seek a new different school and bear the transportation costs to get there.<br /><br />Athletic matters end up having a significant influence. That is, could one district "pack" its athletic teams by recruiting top athletes from other districts? Weird things can happen. For example, a kid in a district with multiple high schools is assigned to School A when he wants to play for School B. The district does not allow intradistrict transfers. The solution is then to move out of the district and apply for admission to School B.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960574627644930183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-39015804187447447672013-08-20T20:16:21.082-04:002013-08-20T20:16:21.082-04:00I would love to see open enrollment in the Hilliar...I would love to see open enrollment in the Hilliard City Schools.

I assume we could open enrolment for specific ages or buildings where we had room, correct? The other question I'd have is what happens if we take these kids one year and then change policy the next. Or what happens from one year to the next, do kids who got in one year get preference the next? It would make sense for the kids' sake (which I would hope would be our priority), but it may not for the district's sake.<br /><br />These things would have to be thought out first.salguodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017605035795415308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-85753603681260649142013-07-09T20:27:11.911-04:002013-07-09T20:27:11.911-04:00Our Policy JECB (paragraph 7) provides for the sam...Our <a href="http://www.hilliardschools.org/board/policy/JECB_AdmissionOfNonresidentStudents.pdf" rel="nofollow">Policy JECB</a> (paragraph 7) provides for the same.
