Shaker Heights Schools Could See $1.6 Million Boost in State Funding
Governor John Kasich's school funding proposal would give the district over $14 million in 2015
Shaker Heights City Schools could see nearly $800,000 more in state funding per year through 2015.
The district is expected to get just about $13.4 million in 2014 and $14.2 million in 2015 from state funding, according to preliminary numbers from the Ohio Department of Education.
These numbers are from Gov. John Kasich's budget proposal, and will likely change at least a little as the state legislature haggles out a final budget deal.
