To make up some of the money, the board proposed raising its five-year teacher licensing fees from $200 to $325 and cutting staffing.
This comes after the legislature made sweeping changes to how the board operates in October when the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce replaced the Ohio Department of Education., the Board of Education discussed concerns that it could be in a deficit of $4 to 5 million over the next few years.
A spokesperson for the governor’s office said it anticipated the BOE would downsize its staff after the change so they would not need the same size budget, and said it is premature for the board to make these proposals. “It is a very big concern because if the state board does not have adequate funding its only revenue source is teacher license fees and so that means the people who work every day to provide support for students and our schools end up footing the bill for a decision that was made by politicians in Columbus, it is a tax on teachers it is unfair and we believe it is wholly unnecessary,” DiMauro said.
The board says it has already reduced its expenses by cutting back on travel expenses and keeping some positions open.
