Five-Year Forecast
SLSD's Five Year Forecast - October, 2024
Ohio requires school districts to complete a five-year forecast, twice per year. Forecasting helps districts plan ahead and make necessary changes before small financial problems become larger ones.
The current five-year forecast shows a balanced forecast with a positive cash position in all five years, with deficit spending occurring in 2026 and 2027. This forecast is very dependent upon state funding and seeing the state both fully fund the formula as well as increases to base cost in all fiscal years. Changes during the State’s upcoming biennium budget process could substantially alter future revenues for the district. Final real estate valuations for 2025 are still estimates and could see significant variances from current fall forecast to the future spring forecast.
As always, we strive to provide academic and social growth for ALL students, EVERY DAY.
