WILMINGTON The Wilmington school board has endorsed Ohio House Bill (HB) 1 also known as the Fair School Funding Plan.
In making the endorsement, board members passed a resolution stating Ohio’s current school funding system “lacks a rational basis for determining both the cost of educating students, and how the funding of education is shared between the state and local taxpayers.”
If HB 1 becomes law, Wilmington City Schools (WCS) officials estimate the district would annually get $491,000 more than now once the new formula is fully funded, something state officials say will take six years to phase in.
