How have school districts coped with the effects of H.B.920 in the past?
Districts have had to go to voters repeatedly to pass new levies because of the constant decline in revenues that this bill has brought about. Over the years, thousands of new tax levies have been passed in Ohio, not to increase funding but to keep up with inflationary changes. Districts which successfully regularly passed levies were well funded. Those that had difficulty passing levies were poorly funded. This process frequently finds school districts reducing programs to bare minimums when funding does not keep pace with inflation.
