Future Of Local Education


Sound familiar re: Wilmington and other county school districts?


The Vandalia-Butler City Schools Board voted unanimously Tuesday night to pursue a 6.99-mill operating levy on the November ballot.

This levy decision comes four months after the board voted to cut 47 positions, 33 of which are teaching positions. At the time, district spokeswoman Bethany Reiff said the cuts were “due to the $7 million deficit we have that is the result of state funding cuts-----------and property devaluations.”

The five-member board also voted to allow Superintendent Bradley Neavin to enter into contract negotiations with First Student, Inc. in Cincinnati to provide transportation services for the district’s students.
