Perrysburg school leaders outline $4.5M–$6M reduction scenarios, set public roadshow and finance timeline

Superintendent (name not specified) and Treasurer Randy presented an updated fiscal forecast to the Perrysburg Exempted Village School District board and asked administrators to return prioritized reduction scenarios that would produce $4.5 million and $6 million in budget savings.

The superintendent said the district “did a very difficult job last year in cutting the first $6,000,000” and outlined a timeline for meetings with staff, administrators and community groups before a public board meeting later in the month. The treasurer described the updated August forecast and the assumptions behind it, including a projected 12% valuation increase for 2026 and a conservative estimate of enrollment (down about 100 students for the year).

The presentation framed the two reduction targets as distinct scenarios: $4.5 million would restore the district to an approximate 60 true‑cash‑day benchmark into fiscal 2027; a $6 million scenario was requested as a contingency to provide extra cushion in case revenues weaken. The treasurer warned that, without new revenue or further reductions, the district’s true cash days could fall sharply in later years.
