Pickerington Schools Cut Deep

Pickerington Schools brace for deep cuts after a failed levy, facing a $19 million shortfall by 2028. Phase one already underway: slash six roles, merge programs, axe field trips and summer school, slash 25% across departments, hike pay-to-play fees to $275 per season, eliminate six “B” teams, and ditch away-game transport. More cuts loom if November’s levy fails—potentially cutting coaches, electives, and sports teams. District leaders stress this isn’t mismanagement—they’re nationally recognized for fiscal responsibility, keeping student focus at the core.
