Ohio to use unspent federal aid to offset school cuts
Ohio will apply 19 million dollars in unspent federal aid from prior years to offset sequestration cuts, reducing the projected federal aid drop to about 3.6 percent. Officials warn districts will still feel the impact, especially those serving more economically disadvantaged and special education students. The move comes as Gov. Kasich signed a two year 62 billion state budget adding over 700 million in operating funds for schools. Final district level figures will be recalculated in a few weeks.
