Funding plan eyed to aid districts facing fall closings
A $145-150 million supplemental bill would fund a controversial $50 million loan pool for districts at risk of closing this fall.

Districts in Medina, Cuyahoga, Erie, Huron, and other counties would see varied aid under April valuations and millage, with figures listed for Oberlin, Amherst, Lorain area, and several Cleveland suburbs.
