 The tax duplicate of the district also grew rapidly
during these years, and fortunate it was, as the State
of Ohio's participation in financing education in
the district decreased from nearly 40 percent at the
beginning of the period to less than 30 percent of the
necessary costs by the end of the decade.During the same period, bond issues and tax
levies requested of voters were not approved time
after time at the ballot.Costs soared as new students
continued to enroll in the district's schools.
