    Loveland, Ohio – The state budget that will determine spending for the next two years is making its way through the Ohio General Assembly. Governor Mike DeWine’s budget proposal would cut funding for Loveland schools and many other public school districts.

    If DeWine’s budget is approved, the Loveland City School District’s five-year forecast predicts that our district would receive $2.5 million less in state funding.

    In response to the community asking district leadership to find solutions to these funding challenges, they have launched a page on their website at lovelandschools.org/lobby. There, you will find three requests to make to state lawmakers:

    • Protect the “Guarantee”
    • Fully Implement the Fair School Funding Plan
    • Increase the State Share Minimum to 20%

    The district says that if these requests are implemented at the statehouse, it would prevent funding cuts for the Loveland City School District and build a foundation for a better funding system for the future.

    The district is asking our community to share these requests with state lawmakers. On this page, you will find contact information for Ohio lawmakers including the Governor, so you can email, call, or send letters.

    The town hall meeting is on Wednesday, April 16, at 6 PM at the Loveland Middle School, where you will receive more information about the funding request and updates on the state budget process.

    Loveland, Ohio – In his weekly Superintendent’s Message, Mike Broadwater described the importance of a planned town hall meeting to discuss, “…our ongoing funding challenges”. He said, “The district is currently in deficit spending, which means that we are spending more money to pay for staff and services than the federal, state, and local tax revenue that is coming in. Our Five Year Forecast shows deficit spending for the current fiscal year of $3.7 million and projects a $3.8 million deficit in the following fiscal year.”

    To that end, at the Board of Education meeting on December 10, it was decided that the District will hold a Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, January 5, at 6 PM in the Media Center at the Loveland Intermediate School.

    “The purpose of this Town Hall is for district leaders to hear from our Loveland City Schools community about issues facing the school district, including the financial future of Loveland City Schools.”

    Two members of the Board of Education and the Superintendent will attend.
