Brecksville - Broadview Heights City School District

What Brecksville - Broadview Heights City School District does

Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District (BBHCSD) is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Ohio, established in 1954 and operating under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3313. The district serves approximately 4,000 students across the entirety of Brecksville, most of Broadview Heights, and a small segment of North Royalton (roughly 25,000 residents), delivered through five facilities: one high school (grades 9-12), one middle school (grades 6-8), one consolidated PreK-5 elementary school split into Primary and Intermediate schools, and Stepping Stone Preschool. Supplemental programs include the BeeKeepers before/after school care service and career-technical access via partnership with the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center, alongside College Credit Plus MOUs with University of Akron, Cuyahoga Community College, and Kent State University.

The underlying technology stack is standard K-12 ed-tech infrastructure: PowerSchool as the student information system, Google Classroom as the learning management system, a district-wide 1:1 Chromebook program for grades K-12, the Finalsite platform for the public website, NEOLA for board policy management, Constant Contact for email communications, and BoardBook Premier (effective January 1, 2026) for board meeting agenda management. Communication channels include a quarterly community newsletter, a Superintendent podcast (The Ledger and the Leader on YouTube and Spotify), and active social media presence on Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

The district's revenue mechanics are governed by Ohio public school funding rules. Primary funding comes from voter-approved property tax levies — operating levies for salaries and daily operations, permanent improvement levies for capital assets with five-year-plus lifespans, and bond levies for major construction (the 2018 bond funded the consolidated PreK-5 elementary). State funding supplements via the Ohio Department of Development, including a $175,000 Ohio Energy Efficiency Program award. Revenue from operating levies is effectively flat under Ohio's fixed revenue rule even as costs inflate. Ancillary revenue includes pay-to-participate fees for athletics/extracurriculars (set annually by the Board), out-of-district preschool tuition, kindergarten registration fees, and tuition from the BeeKeepers program. The district is governed by a five-member elected Board of Education; current leadership is Superintendent Jeffrey Harrison (CEO) and Treasurer/CFO Craig Yaniglos.

Revenue model

1. Local Property Tax Levies: The district relies heavily on local funding, primarily from voter-approved property tax levies. Operating levies fund daily operations including salaries, utilities, and maintenance. Revenue from these levies remains flat due to Ohio's fixed revenue rule, even as inflation increases costs over time.
2. Permanent Improvement Levies: Restricted funds for assets with estimated lifespan of five years or more, including school buses, roof replacements, technology infrastructure, and parking lot maintenance. Cannot be used for salaries or daily operating expenses.
3. Bond Levies: Debt financing approved by voters for major construction projects. Functions like a mortgage - voters approve borrowing a specific amount, and property tax pays back the debt over set years. Once debt is paid off, the tax terminates. The 2018 bond levy funded construction of the consolidated PreK-5 elementary school.
4. State Funding: State funding through the Ohio Department of Development, including programs like the Ohio Energy Efficiency Program which awarded $175,000 to the district for energy efficiency improvements.
