If you care about fair funding for public schools, now is the time to act. Here’s how you can help:
📢 Contact your state legislators and tell them:
➡️ Update both sides of the Fair School Funding formula.
➡️ Hold private schools accountable if they receive public funding.
➡️ Stop forcing local taxpayers to fill the gap.
💡 Ask questions like:
Why aren’t private schools audited like public schools?
Why do public schools have to follow strict financial rules while private schools do not?
Why is our funding being cut while private school vouchers increase?
🎓 Public schools educate 90% of Ohio’s kids. They deserve fair and predictable funding.
Thank you for your continued support of Wapakoneta City Schools!

One of the biggest frustrations in this budget is the increased funding for private schools—without the same level of accountability as public schools.
📌 Public schools are audited annually by the State Auditor’s Office. Private schools? No state audits.
📌 Public schools must comply with strict financial and academic requirements—do private schools have to meet the same standards?
📌 Public schools must educate EVERY student. Private schools can pick and choose.
If the state wants to fund private education, they must hold private schools to the same standards as public schools.
If you agree, reach out to your legislators and ask them why public schools are being held to a higher standard while getting less funding.

Our Middle School Choir and Band Students were treated to an amazing concert from The United States Air Force Band of Flight this morning! Thank you to the band and our Music Teachers for collaborating to bring this experience to WMS.
We’ve seen firsthand how unpredictable school funding can be in the past. Years ago, our district saved money instead of spending it all, knowing that funding could change. Now, with an $800,000 funding cut coming, that foresight is helping—but we still face tough decisions ahead.
Imagine if we didn’t have that cushion. We’d be scrambling to figure out how to pay our staff and maintain programs.
The bottom line: This funding cut is significant. It’s not sustainable, and it’s not fair to our students.
Stay tuned for what we can do to stand up for public schools.
