Letter From the Treasurer
While state legislators struggle to change taxation and improve Ohio’s economy, Vandalia-Butler City School’s tax base is being reduced. The state has taken away our ability to tax personal property and instructed the district to prepare for the lost revenue. Meanwhile state aid has also dropped from 16% of our needed revenue in 1998 to less than 13% today. Yet our schools continue to prosper through strict cost management and community members who understand the importance of a quality education for our students and our economy. Perhaps one of the strongest attributes of the Vandalia-Butler City Schools is the ability of the district to collaborate with the community and staff in identifying the needs of our students. Over the last five years the district has partnered with parents, community leaders, and staff to strategically plan for improved student performance while absorbing more than $10 million in budget reductions. The partnerships have successfully helped identify resources and methods needed to raise our district’s state scores from “Continuous improvement” to “Excellent” the past three consecutive years. Recent polls show how proud the community is of its students, the district’s staff , and our accomplishments. We are proud of our high performance and extensive offerings while operating on one of the lowest school tax rates in the county. We do it with little help from the state and we are one of only a few districts who do not have any outstanding debt for buildings or a permanent source of revenue for capital expenditures. This November the community will take the next step in protecting investments and high standards of accomplishment by voting to replace Morton Middle School, update Butler High School and improve our aging facilities. I am proud to serve our schools and community. We are doing great things for our students and the residents we serve. More information can be found by contacting my office at 937-415-6408.

The
Vandalia-Butler City School District is one of the premier
districts in the state of Ohio, offering excellent student
performance, relatively small class sizes, a diverse curriculum,
and an extensive selection of student activities for an
efficient cost per pupil. Like many other districts in the state
of Ohio, the Vandalia-Butler School District faces financial
challenges and is forced to do more with less every day.
