​

Good morning, Westerville. The countdown to Halloween is on, and one Lewis Center resident has taken seasonal decorating to skeletal extremes. Ken Brengartner's Evans Farm Drive home has transformed into a bony battleground where skeletons scale railings, dangle from overhead wires, and generally claim squatters' rights across the property. Talk about committed neighbors raising the Halloween decoration bar for all of us!

Meanwhile, Dublin parents can breathe easier as the school district puts high school redistricting plans on pause through 2026-27, acknowledging community concerns deserve more thoughtful consideration. On the culinary front, Korean fried chicken enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as CM Chicken unveils its newest location near Grandview Heights, with another Grove City spot in the works. Central Ohio's appetite for international flavors continues to grow, one crispy wing at a time.

🏫 Dublin schools hit pause button on high school redistricting plans. Superintendent Dr. John Marschhausen announced current attendance boundaries for the district's three high schools will remain unchanged through 2026-27, following community feedback sessions that revealed significant parent concerns. "We heard the uncertainty and the angst in our community," Marschhausen said, acknowledging that the approach used for elementary and middle school redistricting wasn't adequate for high school boundaries. The extended timeline will allow officials to define clearer criteria, gather additional community input, and receive more guidance from the Board of Education. Next steps and an updated timeline will be shared in the coming months.
