Joint Letter from the Superintendents of Hamilton County

Superintendents and treasurers from every Hamilton County school district — including Winton Woods — have released a joint statement about proposed state property tax reforms currently being discussed in Ohio.

This is the first time all of Hamilton County’s education leaders have come together to speak collectively on this issue. In their statement, they share concerns that certain proposals to reduce or eliminate property taxes could have a serious impact on the funding that supports our schools and other vital community services — such as police, fire, and parks.

For Winton Woods, local property taxes help fund the teachers, programs, and resources that make a direct difference in our students’ daily learning experiences — from classroom instruction and transportation to the extracurricular and enrichment opportunities that define The Warrior Way.

We certainly agree that there is a need for balanced, thoughtful reform that provides real tax relief. However, this needs to be implemented without dismantling the funding that supports schools, emergency services, and community programs families depend on. Significant changes to this funding structure could limit what we’re able to provide for our students and families.

We encourage our Warrior families to read the attached letter to better understand how these proposals could affect schools and communities like ours.
