This page provides a repository for financial data about the Worthington School District. All of the information gathered is public data and easily accessible if you know where to look, however, if you don't know where to look, it can be maddening to try and find. On this page, I will include detailed information about state funding, local funding, forecasts and spending. As always, if you have any questions about any of this data, please feel free to contact me.
The first data elements
provided are the district's long form five year forecast and the district's SF3
as provided by the state department of education. The 5 year forecast is
approved by the board of education twice a year, usually in May and in October,
while the SF3 form is done monthly, although it does not change much over time.
The Date column will reflect the approval date of a new five year forecast. The
SF3 column will then refer to the current SF3 as of the date of the forecast
approval. A change link is also provided so Worthington residents can keep
track of changes between forecast versions.
Starting with the 2009-2010 school year, the SF3 has been replaced by the
PASS form, a change necessitated by HB1 and Governor Strickland’s education
reform package. The PASS manual has detailed
information about the new funding formula. Starting with the 2011-2012 school
year, the Evidence Based Model has been repealed and state funding is covered
by a “bridge” formula pending Governor Kasich’s school funding formula which
will take effect for the 2013-2014 school year.
The district produces a
comprehensive budget document for the upcoming school year each June. The
document describes revenues and expenditures for all funds, not just the
general fund. The Consolidated Annual
Financial Report (CAFR), on the other hand, is a rear-view mirror look at the
year just passed.
