Revenue model

1. Property Tax Revenue: Local property taxes form a significant portion of district funding. If the May 2026 ballot issue passes, property taxes would be reduced by 0.5 mills when the earned income tax collection begins in 2027.
2. School District Earned Income Tax (Proposed): Pending voter approval on May 5, 2026, a 1.5% earned income tax would apply only to wages and salaries of district residents. Would not apply to retirement income, Social Security, pensions, unemployment benefits, interest, dividends, or capital gains. Collection would begin in 2027.
3. State Funding: Ohio state funding based on per-pupil allocation and various state programs. If the ballot issue passes, the district would qualify for approximately $80 million in state co-funding through the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission as part of a nearly $170 million total facility project.
4. Federal Title I Funding: Federal funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESSA) distributed based on poverty data. Used for additional staff, family engagement, pre-K programs, professional development, technology, and instructional materials.
5. College Credit Plus: Free college courses for eligible students in grades 7-12 at public Ohio colleges/universities. State-funded program covering tuition, books, and fees at public institutions.
