Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 13th of April.
Good morning, Athens.
🎓 Education
School board meetings in southeast Ohio show that many districts are facing steep budget gaps because the state is not paying the full amount promised in the Fair School Funding Plan, so districts like Federal Hocking cut teaching positions to cover the shortfall.
The state’s use of outdated cost data—resulting in phantom revenue estimates—leaves districts with nearly $1 billion in deficits statewide and may force future levies or more cuts.
