Show Notes
Fairfield City Schools in Ohio is seeking a 1.25% earned income tax to avoid $4.5 million in budget cuts, potentially losing staff, English learner tutors, and field trips. The district faces a $9.5 million deficit and has already cut 26 positions. Parents and homeowners like Nick Salcedo worry about extracurriculars and oppose extra taxes, blaming state funding shortfalls. If approved, the tax would keep programs running until 2031. If it fails, cuts could slash teaching spots, end supplemental roles, trim building budgets, and charge more for activities while dropping fee waivers for low-income families. Voters have until May 5th to decide.
