Oak Hills Board and Superintendent Richard W. Herron warn that voter defeats on the 4.8 mill operating levy could trigger school closings between November 1 and 15 1970. A projected $430 000 deficit may rise by as much as $100 000 due to a small 1970 real estate duplicate increase, potentially widening the shortfall beyond $500 000 and moving closings to mid October. The district, basing its 1970 budget on a much larger county forecast, now sees a cut to the duplicate increase to $520 000 after reappraisal, spurring calls to conserve funds and preserve elementary programs and kindergartens where possible. The board plans budget reports after Jan 1 reorganization to map contractual obligations and bus needs, while seeking savings to sustain education and retain teachers.

Scherer urge constituents to write their methods for better and more adequate funding of education after the Oak Hills levy defeat and looming school closures.

The Hamilton County Joint Vocational Board plans a May 5 1970 vote to authorize a millage to build and operate two new vocational high schools in eastern and western Hamilton County with potential for a third later. Twenty two districts participate including Mason and Milford. Cincinnati Public Schools abstain.
