Timeline
| January 2024 | The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce required the District to submit a Financial Recovery Plan to demonstrate how it would overcome the negative cash balance projected in the Five-Year Forecast for FY25 and FY26. The plan outlined expenditure reductions and opportunities to increase revenue. |
|
|
| April 2024 | The Board of Education held a work session on April 30 to review the May update to the Five-Year Forecast and modified the Financial Recovery Plan in response to unanticipated attrition savings due to retirement and resignations. |

| June 2024 | At its June regular meeting, the Board once again modified the Financial Recovery Plan in response to unanticipated staffing changes and community donations.
