The net indebtedness of a school district designated as a special needs
district may not exceed the greater of: 12 percent of the sum of
assessed valuation plus the product of its assessed valuation times the
percentage by which the assessed valuation has increased over the 60-
month period prior to an election on the issuance of the securities; or 12
percent of the sum of the assessed valuation plus the product of the
assessed valuation times the percentage by which the Superintendent of
Public Instruction projects the district’s tax valuation will increase over
the next ten years.
The 4% and the 9% limit may also be exceeded for the school district
share of an Ohio Construction Facilities Commission (OCFC) project.
The OCFC must notify the superintendent of public instruction that the
district is exceeding this limit. However, any locally funded initiatives
required by the OCFC, any other locally funded initiatives (other than
those locally funded initiatives designated by the Commission as
required so long as these other locally funded initiatives do not exceed
50% of the base cost of the project) and the cost of site acquisition may
be approved even though those additional costs will exceed the statutory
limit.

INNOVATION
PROGRAM, LOCAL
GOVERNMENT
School districts are among the political subdivisions eligible to apply for
support from the Local Government Innovation Program administered by
the Department of Development with the oversight of the Local
Government Innovation Council. The program is designed to support
“qualified innovation projects,” primarily those that support the sharing of
services by local political subdivisions.
Up to 20% of the Council’s money can be used for grants for process
improvements or the implementation of the innovative projects. The
remaining 80% is to be issued as loans, which are repaid by the
recipients using the savings achieved by implementing the innovation
projects.
The total for grants and loans is limited to $100,000 for an individual
political subdivision and to $500,000 for a shared innovation project.
