Governor John Kasich’s New School Funding Plan Update
After reviewing Governor John Kasich’s new school funding plan called Achievement Everywhere: Common Sense for Ohio’s Classrooms that was released on January 31st. I must say it is a lot to digest on the surface. While it is encouraging that the Governor says that no district will receive less than it did in the current 2013 fiscal year. I think it is too early to tell if this helps or hurts the North Royalton City School District one way or the other. The details are always what counts with a budget proposal. A key piece of information that we don’t have yet are the simulations by district. Below are some other highlights from the Governor’s School Funding Plan:
• 5.9% and 3.2% increases in base funding for fiscal years (FY) 2014 and 2015, respectively.
• Funds targeted to lower-wealth districts.
• No change from existing levels in the Tangible Personal Property (TPP) and Utility Tangible Personal Property (UTPP) tax replacement payments.
• No districts would receive less money than they do in FY 2013.
• Funds targeted for special needs students and for equal access to early childhood education.
• Grant funds available to help districts investigate innovative programs to maximize resources.
• $8 million for school safety grants.
• Proposed relief from certain mandates.

After reviewing Governor John Kasich’s new school funding plan, I must say it is a lot to digest on the surface. While it is encouraging that the Governor says that no district will receive less than it did in the current 2013 fiscal year. I think it is too early to tell if this helps or hurts the North Royalton City School District one way or the other. The details are always what counts with a budget proposal. A key piece of information that we don’t have yet are the simulations by district. Also there are some questions that I believe we need to ask. Will the Governor’s new school funding plan restore the $3 million dollars in cuts he and the General Assembly made under HB 153 the last state budget to our school district? Kasich is the fourth straight governor to propose a new school funding plan, what makes his plan constitutional to comply with decade old Ohio Supreme Court case DeRolph v. State? Finally, are the revenue sources stable enough to fully pay for this new plan? As the Board Legislative Liaison, I don’t plan to wait for an answer. I have plans to meet with our State Representative Mike Dovilla and other lawmakers. In addition I am working again with Cuyahoga Heights School Board Member Reno Contipelli and North Olmsted School Board Member Terry Groden to organize another Educational Roundtable Discussion for schools in Ohio’s 24th Senate District on the state budget. We plan to bring lawmakers here to engage in direct dialogue with key stakeholders to discuss how we move forward with this new school funding plan. The work has just begun!

Governor John Kasich announced plans to deliver his annual State of the State address in Lima on Feb. 19 at 6:30 p.m. This once again breaks the tradition of presenting the speech from the chamber of the Ohio House of Representatives.
Budget and school-funding proposal
The administration’s budget proposal, including a school-funding plan, is expected to be released on Feb. 4. In addition to primary and secondary education funding, the proposal also is expected to include tax reform, higher education funding and Medicaid changes. This will be something I plan watch closely and already have plans to meet with our State Representative Mike Dovilla and our other lawmakers on the upcoming budget.
