Northern Local superintendent warns district faces funding loss under proposed biennial budget
Summary
Superintendent Gussler told the board Northern Local Schools is projected to lose funding under the governor's proposed two‑year budget and has discussed district‑specific factors with Representative Kevin Miller as local superintendents coordinate responses.
Superintendent Mrs. Gussler told the Northern Local Schools Board of Education on March 20 that the governor's proposed two‑year biennial budget would leave Northern Local the only district in Perry County projected to lose funding under the plan. She said local superintendents have met repeatedly to assess the bill's impact and to strategize potential changes to reduce the negative effect on districts.
Gussler also said she has been in direct contact with Representative Kevin Miller to discuss factors particular to Northern Local Schools and to seek adjustments that could mitigate the projected loss. She outlined the district calendar changes and upcoming events, including the Drama Club spring play on April 11, a staff professional development day on May 6 to coincide with a special election, the FFA banquet on May 13, and graduation on May 18.
The superintendent's report included no vote or formal directive; she framed the discussion as situational awareness and interdistrict coordination while negotiations over the state budget continue.
