School Districts 

Ohio law prohibits any “political subdivision,” which includes a school district, library, park district, county, township or city, from using public funds to “[p]ublish, distribute, or otherwise communicate information that . . . supports or opposes the nomination or election of a candidate for public office, the investigation, prosecution, or recall of a public official, or the passage of a levy or bond issue,” per Ohio Revised Code Section 9.03.

As a result, school districts cannot spend public funds in any manner to support or oppose the campaign of any bond issue or any individual running for public office.
