Finance

As of May 2022, Springfield Local School District has been operating for 22 years without new sources of financing. Early on in the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Ohio Department of Education cut nearly half a million dollars of funding to the district, and Springfield introduced a $7.7 million levy that would keep the district financially stable.[4] The levy was defeated by voters in both August and November of that year, and Springfield was forced to begin drastic budget cuts.[5] Provisions of the cuts include closing Young Elementary School, cutting 20.75 positions in the spring of 2021, cutting 46 positions in the 2021–22 school year, drastic or complete cuts to electives, and minimum busing requirements per regulations put in place by the state of Ohio.[6] The district has also endorsed the Fair School Funding Plan in hopes that it will mitigate some of the cuts.

The school district currently runs three schools, and serves students from kindergarten age to senior year.

Intermediate school (3-6)
