Dear OHS Parents:
It’s time to elect SBDM parents for the 2024-25 school year. I hope you’ll consider running or encourage a friend to do so.
In KY, each school has a School Based Decision Making council composed of the principal, elected teachers, and elected parents. The council is in charge of making important decisions about how the school operates and supports student achievement.
Parents elect the two parent members who will receive training and serve from July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025.
Nominations are due on or before Wed, June 5 at 5pm.
