ETPI Membership — What does it mean to your school district?

Every year we kick off the ETPI membership drive with a complimentary copy of our quarterly newsletter sent to all school districts in the state, regardless of whether or not they are members of the organization. We think the Education Tax Policy Institute is such an integral and important part of the education community that membership deserves consideration by all school districts. 

This past year when the State biennial budget was being formulated, the ETPI officers and consultants played a big role. Through feedback from ETPI members, ETPI consultants worked with the governor's office and the House Senate leadership providing advice and counsel on House Bill 1. While the State's revenues were less than desirable, education was spared the severe cuts that other agencies experienced and the final version of House Bill 1 was much improved over the "as-introduced" version.

Projects for the coming year will be important to all school districts: 

Where are we headed with the TPP?;

How will the OEBM play out in the next biennium?;and

A look at Ohio's Revenue Capacity.  All of these issues will have an impact on school funding in the future.

Please join us as we support this crucial work!  BECOME A MEMBER OF ETPI TODAY!
