| Dear legislator... The district remains committed to advocating for fair funding for Ottawa Hills Local Schools. Treasurer/CFO Mr. Siloy recently sent a letter to every Ohio legislator highlighting the urgent need for changes to Gov. DeWine's budget proposal. As written, the proposal is expected to result in an estimated $500,000 decrease in state funding to our district over the next two years. You can read a copy of one of the letters sent to legislators on the Treasurer's web page here. |
