State aid reform eyed to ease district disparities
Education Review Committee and Ohio Board of Education back a new aid formula to replace the deductible millage system. Poorer districts would gain more state support while wealthy islands share wealth. West Clermont would rise to 975 per pupil with the levy, while Bethel Tate, Williamsburg, and Milford superintendents praised the move though cautioned over details. The plan features annual equalized property valuation and broader equalization to address wealth variations across districts.
