MANSFIELD, Ohio-The Mansfield City Schools Board of Education voted 3-0, with one abstention, to close Tyger Digital Academy immediately due to financial constraints following the expiration of COVID-related funding. This decision affects around 60 students and their families, who now need to seek alternative educational options. The closure is expected to save the district over $2 million, with more financial cuts anticipated as the district faces projected deficits in the coming years. The board’s action was prompted by a review of the district’s financial forecast, revealing significant deficit spending ahead.
