Gov. DeWine's proposed budget cuts $103M in foundation formula funding from Ohio's public schools over the next two years, including $95M in cuts to special education funding. It all adds up to major cuts for public school communities, who then have to decide whether to raise local taxes or let their schools go without.
See if your district is among the 349 that will see a funding cut.

Each child in Ohio should be able to get a great education at a public school in their district. That only happens if we fund public schools fairly, based on the real cost of educating every child. The Fair School Funding Plan was created to do just that — but some legislators aren’t on board.
The Fair School Funding Plan is a six-year plan, and we’re four years in. Now it’s time for Ohio’s leaders to follow through on their responsibility to fund every public school fairly, based on the real costs of educating every child.
The graphic above estimates how much funding your school district would get under a fully funded plan and how much is at stake if legislators fail to fully fund the plan.
