More Action Needed: State Budget Deliberations Continue

This week, the Senate released their version of HB96, the State's biennium budget. Please read the joint testimony submitted by our Superintendent and Treasurer and join us in this important advocacy to increase state funding to Ohio's public schools and protect our own local funding - Wyoming property tax dollars - from reduction by an outside third party.

Act Now:

Contact Senate Finance Committee members to share your Wyoming story as a parent, staff member or alumni. Focus on why public schools are important to you here in Wyoming. Related to the biennium budget, ask the Senate to:

Appropriately update the input data in the Fair School Funding Plan
Remove the 50% cash balance cap provision
Remove the provisions granting expanded authority to the County Budget Commission

Key Dates:

June 10: Omnibus amendment and committee vote
June 11: Senate floor vote
