On this episode of Behind the Byline, host Jaden Jefferson has a conversation with Springfield Local Schools superintendent Matthew Geha and Springfield Board of Education president Dr. Tanya Baldwin.
“It’s interesting … the vocabulary that different legislators use, some of them do say that more was put towards education because there’s probably one big pot they call ‘education.’ However, what could or is going to public education does not appear to be more – it appears to be less,” commented Geha in the podcast.
Geha and Baldwin talk about:
- the difference in the amount other local schools, like Perrysburg and TPS, receive compared to Springfield
- the Fair School Funding Plan
- property taxes and levies
- the cost of education per child
- the power of opportunities and programs Springfield has purposefully put into place to create a successful environment for all the students
- Springfield Local Schools success stories
- the continued impact of COVID
