School Board Places Levy on the Ballot
The Tipp City Board of Education approved a five year, 7.95 mills Emergency tax levy to be placed on the ballot
at the August 7, 2012 special election. The State has cut $1.3 million out of Tipp City School’s funding for this
past school year, and the State will be cutting more in the upcoming school year. Tipp City Schools’ will have a
decrease of $2,934,892 in state funding as compared to FY2011; and adding the additional loss of $240,000 from
EdJobs and another State reduction of $312,500 in State aid for FY2013 means Tipp City Schools will be working
with $3,487,392 less dollars than in FY2011. The need to balance the budget this year and future years requires
the District to make significant budget cuts and ask the community for more funding. The Board of Education is
giving Tipp City / Monroe Township residents an opportunity to decide if they want the District to make
additional cuts in staffing and programs, or keep the level of staffing that we need to work towards our Excellent
rating. The District has had Excellent ratings the last eight years out of ten and 6 years in a row. This is the first
time in three years that the Board has asked the Tipp City School voters for new money. For a list of the cuts and
impacts click here: http://www.tippcityschools.com/Page/2951
