Twinsburg Schools Expected to Get $2.8M Boost in State Funding

Twinsburg is one of the big winners in state funding over the next two years.

The district is expected to get nearly $5.5 million in 2014 from state funding, according to preliminary numbers from the Ohio Department of Education.

That is $2.8 million more than in 2013, when the district received $2.7 million, an increase of 104 percent.

In 2015 the state is expected to dish out $6.8 million to the district, another 25 percent boost, resulting in another $1.3 million.

These numbers are from Gov. John Kasich's budget proposal, and will likely change at least a little as the state legislature haggles out a final budget deal.

Twinsburg taxpayers just approved new levy dollars to fund the schools, with 54 percent of voters supporting the new tax dollars.

A 6.9-mill renewal levy, generating $4.4 million annually, is up for a vote in May.
