Why can the Board learn to operate the Ross Schools within a budget like a regular company?
First of all, operating a “company” that is in the business of educating our children is not like running a “regular” company. Our district administrators can’t operate the district the way Delta executives operate Delta. Educating children is an extremely intricate task and it is our belief that it is not something any of the employees (including Board members) at Ross Local Schools take lightly. The Ross Local School District is known state-wide for its amazing ability to obtain excellent results while spending 20% less than the average Ohio school district. Ross has one of the lowest starting and average salaries for teachers in the county. Ross Schools can also boast an administration that is renowned for squeezing every possible cent out of every dollar. This translates into the lowest per-pupil spending in Butler County. Ross residents receive quite a return on their investment. Should you want to make the comparison to a corporation, think of it this way: WE, THE DISTRICT RESIDE
