The following chart shows the spending per pupil for each

of Ohio’s school districts rated “excellent with distinction”

for the 2008-2009 school year, except two. Some local
districts are noted. For example, Loveland’s cost per student
is $9,445. That is also the median – the point at which half of
the districts spend more and half spend less. Sycamore’s
$13,523 cost per student is $4,078 more than the median.

If Sycamore’s bloated cost structure were reduced to the

median of excellent with distinction districts, taxes would be
