Board Policy Section 0164
Board Member Mike Grady reported as follows:
House Bill 335 was introduced earlier this month. Among other aspects of the bill it will repeal inside millage. Though 10 mills of inside millage are specifically articulated in the state Constitution, the architects of HB 335 claim that the Constitution places a 10 Mill maximum on inside millage rather than creating a requirement for 10 mills of inside millage. The repeal of inside millage will eliminate nearly $2 billion in school district property tax. In order to save the amount of revenue lost by the repeal of school district inside millage nearly 20,000 teachers would need to be eliminated across the state. The bill will likely be included in the final state budget now in the hands of the conference committee. The Ohio Legislative Service Commission has made available an 882 page document comparing the Governors proposed budget, the house passed budget bill and the senate passed budget bill. The conference committee consists of two republicans and one democrat from each chamber. They are charged with producing a final state budget to be considered by the Governor by the end of this month.
The senate passed version of the budget permits counties to reduce property taxes for school districts that carry over more than 50% of the previous year’s budget. Half of Ohio school districts had carry over balances of at least 50% in 2024.
Meanwhile Citizens for Property Tax Reform, the organization proposing a constitutional amendment to eliminate property taxes had a modest list of petition signing opportunities posted on their website this morning. Recall for the proposal to make the ballot, more than 400,000 signatures will need to be collected from 44 of the 88 counties in Ohio.

The Board considers the attached resolution for adoption.
Recommendation of Superintendent Gregory D. Nickoli that we enter into Executive Session for the purpose of evaluation of the Superintendent, Treasurer and the Self-evaluation of the Board of Education.
