MT. HEALTHY, Ohio-A recent state audit of Mt Healthy City Schools reveals significant financial mismanagement, leading to a projected $90 million deficit by fiscal year 2028. The district, already in fiscal emergency, faces challenges due to hiring numerous staff and completing building projects without sustainable funding plans.
Leadership failures and a lack of strategic planning are cited as contributing factors. The audit suggests $8.2 million in potential annual cost savings, but the district’s deficit persists despite these measures. The audit also highlights misunderstandings by district officials regarding recommendations. Mt Healthy must now address its financial crisis through significant changes.
