Talawanda School District

What Talawanda School District does

Talawanda School District is a public K-12 school district operating under the authority of the State of Ohio, serving students across a 144-square-mile rural footprint in Butler County centered on Oxford, Ohio. The district delivers instruction through five schools — Talawanda High School (Grades 9–12), Talawanda Middle School (Grades 6–8), and three elementary schools (Bogan, Kramer, and Marshall, each PK-5) — and is governed by an elected five-member Board of Education. Ancillary service lines include athletics (talawandaathletics.org), food services, special education, English Language Learner support, gifted services, STEM programming, mental health and wellness, and student transportation outsourced to Petermann Transportation.

The district's technology stack is anchored by a 1:1 Chromebook program covering THS, TMS, and 5th-grade students for both school and home use, with Chromebooks for grades 2–4 and iPads for K–1 deployed at school. Network infrastructure spans three SSIDs (Talawanda for school-owned and BYOD devices, Talawanda-Guest for visitors, and eduroam for roaming), making Talawanda the first K-12 institution in the United States to join eduroam. Student information flows through the ProgressBook Parent Portal (Synergy/SWOCA), registration runs on FinalForms, and food services operate on SchoolNutritionandFitness; connectivity is procured through E-Rate and the SWOCA consortium contract through June 2029. The district is actively executing the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OSFC) Master Facilities Plan, with new THS, Bogan, Kramer, and Central Office buildings completed and Marshall Elementary under construction.

Talawanda is funded primarily by local property taxes (2.19 inside mills plus voted millage, with voted income frozen by Ohio HB 920), a 1% School District Income Tax (SDIT) approved by voters in November 2004 that accounts for 22% of annual revenue, and state foundation funding computed by the Ohio Department of Education formula (Average Daily Membership, valuation index, income index). Targeted state funds for Student Wellness ($411,710 allocated for SY 2025–26) and Disadvantaged Pupil Impact Aid ($449,437.78 for SY 2025–26) supplement federal Title I, Title IX, and McKinney-Vento grants. The annual General Fund budget exceeds $36 million, and the customer base is exclusively district-resident students and families — there is no tuition for in-district residents.
