The Fairfield City School District will see a
negative impact as a result of House Bill 96,
the recently passed Ohio State Budget.
District treasurer Jay Phillips says lawmakers
have frozen funding at 2022 levels, even as 
prices continue to rise. He projects the district will lose $3.5 million over the next two years as a result. Phillips says the funding decisions will force many districts in Ohio to go on the ballot, which will result in higher property tax bills. The budget also put a 15% limit on administrative costs.  According to Phillips, Fairfield is spending 5.2% on administration, the second lowest in Butler County.
