Cincinnati wants state to approve more classroom space
The state of Ohio has decided to stick with its plan for funding Cincinnati Public Schools' $1 billion construction project, at least for now. The Ohio School Facilities Commission declined to take action on a Cincinnati Public request to reconsider how it projects enrollment for the district and how much it will pay. Cincinnati officials say the district will need space for 3,000 more students than the state projects. Local taxpayers are paying 77 percent of bill and the state is picking up 23 percent.
