CLEVELAND, Ohio – Fifty-five percent of Ohio’s school districts would receive less state money by the second year of Gov. John Kasich’s proposed two-year budget, data released Friday by the administration showed.
In comparing current state funding to the proposed amount for the 2018-19 school year, 338 districts would receive less, 262 districts would receive more and 10 districts would experience no change. Yet, for about a third of the districts the change would be less than 1 percent.

Details have been released for how Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s budget could impact each school district in the state. Rich Exner, cleveland.com
Among schools in the Greater Cleveland and Akron areas, the sharpest gains would be for Richmond Heights (up 10.4 percent, or $170,954) and Cleveland Heights-University Heights (up 10.4 percent, or $2,107,569).
The districts dropping the most sharply – at 5.1 percent each – would be Lorain ($112,684), Cardinal ($129,433) and Strongsville ($463,665).
State funding for the Cleveland school system would increase 4.4 percent, going up from an estimated $435 million during the current school year to $454 million in 2018-19.
The governor’s proposal is just the first step in the budget process. The Ohio House and Senate will each have their say, and could present entirely different plans.
Ohio’s two-year budget must be approved by the end of June.
