We usually avoid political posts, but this issue is too important to ignore. Governor DeWine’s proposed budget for the next two years is NOT kind to public education.
📉 Key Funding Cuts for Public Schools:
Base Cost Funding: Drops 17.5% by FY 27
Special Education Aid: Down 9.4% in FY 26, another 8.5% in FY 27
Gifted, English Learner, and Career-Tech Education: Also facing cuts
Transportation Aid: Slight increase, but with a cut to the guarantee
Meanwhile, community and STEM schools, vocational districts, and private school scholarships (vouchers) are seeing major funding increases.
This is not just a Wapakoneta issue—this impacts 90% of Ohio’s students who attend public schools. We’ll share more details in the next post, but we need to take action. Public schools matter!

One of the practices at Wapakoneta City Schools is to do "walkthroughs" of our classrooms as an administrative team. We get the opportunity to see our kids engaged in unique learning activities and our teachers doing what they do best. Today I had the opportunity to get into some of our high school classrooms. Our young people were learning about cellular processes, performing CPR, working through problems in Algebra, studying the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's, reading and analyzing British Literature, discussing French culture, and much more. We are privileged to have an outstanding staff across the district, and we are fortunate to have excellent students in our classrooms!
