Senate Rejects School Finance Bailout Amid District Struggles
Ohio senators defeated a proposed temporary borrowing measure to cover 1978 deficits as 46 districts sought audits for 1977 shortages and 27 confirmed financial woes. Toledo, with 54,000 pupils, hoped to survive by voter approval of higher property taxes despite opposition from Cleveland. The bill would have allowed short term borrowing with strict repayment by January 1, 1978, to prevent up to 110,000 students from being out of school for two months.
