Policy Matters Ohio periodically surveys schools about fiscal conditions and operational strategies. The Ohio Association of School Business Officials provided a link to such a survey in their newsletter of December 2014 through February 2015. Fifty-three respondents, representing 8.6 percent of districts and including representatives from all types of districts filled out the survey. This one-page executive summary highlights the primary findings--more respondents added teachers than reduced teaching staff in the current year and more reported budget surpluses than deficits. However, many are still cutting teachers; non-teaching positions remain unfilled in many districts and many continue to institute pay-to-play, requiring payment to take part in sports and extracurricular activities.
