Ohio ping!
The House Democrats’ stimulus package includes billions of dollars in increased funding over the next two years for school districts in the areas of programs for disadvantaged students, special education and school construction. Here is how much the bill would allocate, in preliminary estimates, to some central Ohio districts, above what they would get under current federal funding. The allocation is derived by using current federal formulas for each program.
Columbus Public Schools $110.1 million
Bexley $951,300
Canal Winchester $1 million
Delaware City $2.3 million
Dublin City $4.4 million
Gahanna-Jefferson $3.1 million
Grandview Heights $478,700
Groveport-Madison Local $4.7 million
Hamilton Local $1.9 million
Hilliard $5.4 million
Jonathan Alder $792,200
Licking Heights $554,300
Madison-Plains $709,100
New Albany-Plain $552,000
Olentangy Local $2.29 million
Pickerington Local $2.1 million
Reynoldsburg $3.3 million
South-Western $16.3 million
Teays Valley $1.4 million
Upper Arlington $1.6 million
Westerville $7.26 million
Whitehall $2.9 million
Worthington City $4 million
The National Endowment for the Arts is supposed to have $60 million in the STIMULUS package too.....swell....oh, and something like $200 million for climate change....
Columbus schools would get $110 million in stimulus funds (More Money Down a Black Hole)....
This is a trickle compared to the funding needed to shore up teacher’s pensions nationwide.
Yet, private schools keep humming right along...
Is this what it's going to cost in every state to rename a school after the Messiah?
Sounds like a plan to put Boehner over a barrel.
An authoritarian man like Obama with his Ayers mentors will have plenty of programs to oversee in the public schools, to assure building his power base.
The nazis knew if they got the children, they had the adults.
Ooopss....Rush just said it’s $400 million for Climate Change
When this economy comes crashing down, none of this is really going to matter. But still...
New Albany can fund their own schools! And, Worthington is supposed to get $4M??? I’m speechless.
Third in Ohio was Franklin at 150 nationally. Fourth was Delaware at 180-ish.
Maui County, Hawaii, was in the 700s. A $640,000 home pays property taxes of $650 dollars a year.
We are out of our minds here.
How about Upper Arlington? Now Hilliard I can almost understand. They got saddled with a ton of Mexicans and former project dwellers ( I used to be a Hilliard homeowner.)
I live in Georgia. Why are MY tax dollars going to build
new schools in Ohio?
“Maui County, Hawaii, was in the 700s. A $640,000 home pays property taxes of $650 dollars a year.”
OMG! That’s unbelievable. Clearly, our property taxes are used primarily to fund the schools. Knowing that the public schools are not going away anytime soon, we definitely need a different funding mechanism. To be honest, I’m not sure what that is but will be interested to hear what Strickland proposes. What do you think? I would accept a state school income tax if my property taxes were reduced. That way, everyone working at least participates in funding the schools. Obviously, those living in apartments with kids are not paying their share. The only problem with that is that even if property taxes were reduced they would eventually climb back up. Maybe you should pay more depending on the number of kids you have attending public schools??? Yeah, I know, that would never happen. I imagine the “solution” down the road will just mean more taxes out of my pocket.
I’m guessing that all states will be getting these funds. Still, the federal government is spending money that it doesn’t have.
“Now Hilliard I can almost understand. They got saddled with a ton of Mexicans and former project dwellers ( I used to be a Hilliard homeowner.)”
Where do most of the Mexicans in southwest Columbus attend school? I figured it was the Southwestern school district or Columbus. I pity those districts (including Hilliard) who have to pay for the education of the illegals’ children. I bet they are salivating at this renewed SCHIP program. No doubt the illegal alien lover Voinovich will have no problem with the lack of enforcement of citizenship status that the Democrats have put into the bill.
I agree. Call your Senators and Reps.
LOL, because georgia went for McCain 52-47.
