THANK YOU to all who helped advocate for public schools during this budget season! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Update below!

Last night, Gov. DeWine signed the budget into law, but vetoed 67 line items, including the 40% cap on public school districts' cash reserves. He correctly noted that the cap would "[result] in more districts asking taxpayers to pass levies more often, which could very well exacerbate property tax increases instead of reducing them" and that it is "contrary to local control and will undermine efforts by school districts to manage their finances responsibly and follow best business practices. Further, the increased levy cycle could cause more levies to fail due to levy fatigue, impacting the overall financial stability of school districts."

He also vetoed the following provisions:

- the creation of educational savings accounts so students in non-chartered, non-public schools can get taxpayer-paid vouchers

- a provision requiring emergency and substitute tax levies be included when calculating a school district's 20-mill floor

- lines limiting districts' power to ask for emergency levies or replacement levies

- a requirement that local school board candidates to run under partisan labels

- a restriction against local school boards from paying employee contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System on behalf of superintendents and principals
