Open enrollment funds exceed 800000 with 50 percent set aside for an enterprise fund to back capital projects including a planned stadium.

In interviews the mother said she tried to put out the fire and fled for help after checking on the child. Investigators found she had not taken prescribed mood and sleep meds for about two months. Butler County Children Services had investigated abuse two months earlier. The death triggered an internal probe leading to a caseworker’s firing and a supervisor’s voluntary demotion, with findings of a closed investigation despite removals and records of erratic behavior and substance abuse.
