Granville Exempted Village School District

What Granville Exempted Village School District does

Granville Exempted Village School District (GEVSD) is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 130 North Granger Street in Granville, Ohio, serving approximately 2,600 students across four schools: Granville Elementary School (K-4), Granville Intermediate School (5-6), Granville Middle School (7-8), and Granville High School (9-12). The district operates under Ohio Revised Code, is governed by an elected five-member Board of Education, and is led by Superintendent Jeff Brown (since February 2011) and Treasurer Brittany Treolo (since May 2019). Its mission, "Learning for Life," is supported by a 234-member staff and an academic program built around a "Portrait of a Graduate" framework emphasizing collaborative, critical thinking, empathetic, adaptable, responsible, and resilient competencies.

The district's service delivery is built on a standard K-12 technology stack: Schoology as the learning management system, PowerSchool as the student information system, ClassLink for single sign-on, Finalsite for the public website, Final Forms for registration, Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, PaySchools Central for fee collection, and AVI Fresh Foods for contracted food service. The district does not develop or sell commercial technology products; its output is educational programming including College Credit Plus dual-enrollment courses delivered on-site at Granville High School in partnership with Ashland University, Shawnee State University, and Central Ohio Technical College.

Granville is funded as a government state entity rather than through commercial revenue. Over 58% of operating revenue comes from local property taxes, supplemented by a renewed 0.75% traditional income tax levy (effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028), state per-pupil funding from the Ohio Department of Education (limited because the district is classified high-wealth), and federal grants. No tuition is charged to district residents; ancillary fees cover class fees, lunch accounts, field trips, and extracurricular activities. The district has earned a 5-star overall rating on the 2024-2025 ODEW Report Card (top 25 in Ohio, first in Licking County and Central Ohio), the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, consecutive Ohio Auditor of State Awards of Distinction, and Project ADAM Heart Safe School designation.
