TRUTH: We've saved nearly $190,000 in legal fees over 2 years, and the district spends significantly less on legal fees per student than other school districts in central Ohio.

Data gathered through Public Record Requests in each district.

TRUTH: The Board joined multiple highly respected professional organizations to receive different perspectives and data on best practices for creating tailored learning classrooms for students needing extra support.

The previous Board spent $44K per year to be in this lawsuit. This Board believes parents have the right to choose the best educational option for their student and ended this wasteful taxpayer spending. The district still receives a portion of funding even for students they no longer educate.

TRUTH: The previous Board created a clause in the old superintendent's contract that allowed him to retire early with full pay. He chose to retire and was not forced out. This is why the district had to pay 2 superintendents for one year. The current Board did not approve this arrangement in the new Superintendent contract.

TRUTH: The current superintendent is paid an average salary compared to neighboring districts and those of our size. He does NOT get compounded 5% raises, but rather a chance for a 5% bonus for that year if ALL goals and metrics are met. This does not increase his base salary each year.
