Rossford Schools and the benefits of business; the state of politics in Ohio

Rossford Schools and the benefits of business Dan Creps | Superintendent = Rossford Schools Mayor Neil MacKinnon | Rossford  Northwest Ohio is an interesting study when it comes to its schools. As of late, a suburban Toledo district that’s been growing by leaps and bounds over the last two decades doesn’t have room for more kids - and voters have turned down two straight levy requests. The money to ease overcrowding - according to Perrysburg Schools - isn’t there. And the schools say - despite the failure of these ballot issues - the townships and city continue to approve new developments and multifamily units that will lead to adding more students - and the schools cannot turn students away. The schools say money is a problem - and apparently the tax base isn’t taking care of it.  Now - juxtapose that with what’s happening just a few miles away in Rossford. A smaller town - Perrysburg’s population is about 25k … Rossford is more than 6k - but in a town - where schools aren’t bursting at the seams - business and industry is flooding the schools with cash … and a lot of it.   Ohio’s political temperature David DeWitt | Editor-in-Chief | Ohio Capital Journal Ohio’s been important in most, if not all, presidential election years.
