Ethan Jeanneret, our 7th grade WMS student who had a double-lung transplant in December, has been chosen to be the "Tip of the Month" recipient at the Do Good restaurant in Osgood. Do Good chooses one family each month and all tips given at the restaurant during the month of April will go directly to Ethan's family to help with medical expenses.

If you care about fair funding for public schools, now is the time to act. Here’s how you can help:
📢 Contact your state legislators and tell them:
➡️ Update both sides of the Fair School Funding formula.
➡️ Hold private schools accountable if they receive public funding.
➡️ Stop forcing local taxpayers to fill the gap.
💡 Ask questions like:
Why aren’t private schools audited like public schools?
Why do public schools have to follow strict financial rules while private schools do not?
Why is our funding being cut while private school vouchers increase?
🎓 Public schools educate 90% of Ohio’s kids. They deserve fair and predictable funding.
Thank you for your continued support of Wapakoneta City Schools!

Another reminder to get your child registered for kindergarten next year! Today is one of our designated registration dates. Registering now allows us to plan appropriately for next school year.
Thank you!
One of the biggest frustrations in this budget is the increased funding for private schools—without the same level of accountability as public schools.
📌 Public schools are audited annually by the State Auditor’s Office. Private schools? No state audits.
📌 Public schools must comply with strict financial and academic requirements—do private schools have to meet the same standards?
📌 Public schools must educate EVERY student. Private schools can pick and choose.
If the state wants to fund private education, they must hold private schools to the same standards as public schools.
If you agree, reach out to your legislators and ask them why public schools are being held to a higher standard while getting less funding.
