Boardman schools to take biggest cut in Mahoning County
YOUNGSTOWN
Boardman schools will see the biggest cut in state foundation funding of all districts in Mahoning County, according to numbers released Thursday by the Ohio Office of Budget and Management.
Those numbers show that Boardman will see a 10.2 percent reduction in sate foundation support in fiscal year 2012.
The numbers, though, don’t include the loss of tangible personal property tax and other state funding losses.
The numbers show that Poland schools will be cut 3 percent in state foundation funding in FY2012.
And Youngstown school officials believe the changes could mean greater costs to the district.
A news release from the state Office of Budget and Management said Gov. Kasich’s administration believes in a school funding model that “directs funds into the classroom and away from administration and bureaucracy.
“Over the next year, the administration will develop a new approach to state support of education,” the news release states.
