February 23, 2026 Board of Education Regular Meeting

The Green Local Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on February 23, 2026, where the primary focus was on financial and budgetary matters affecting the district. The superintendent and treasurer presented a detailed five-year financial forecast highlighting the impact of recent Ohio property tax reform legislation, including House Bills 186, 335, 129, 96, and 309. These reforms cap revenue growth from property taxes, limit new construction revenue, and change levy renewal rules, significantly affecting the district's future funding and requiring careful fiscal management. The board approved multiple motions related to financial statements, federal grant adjustments, tax levy certifications, and property valuation complaints. Additionally, the board accepted a school safety grant of $17,213.45 to enhance security measures. Several donations were approved, including an $11,269 blocking sled for the football program. The meeting also included routine approvals of minutes, field trips, and membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The board unanimously passed all motions related to budget, grants, and tax matters, reflecting a commitment to prudent financial stewardship amid challenging state-level funding changes.
