We are thankful for the opportunity to have such meaningful conversations with Auditors and School Treasurers from across Ohio.

CAAO’s Northeast District, in partnership with the Ohio Association of School Business Officials, hosted a joint meeting in Stark County this morning. The meeting brought together County Auditors and School Treasurers from Northeast Ohio for timely discussion of school funding and the impact of the five property tax bills passed in November.

Thank you to Mahoning County Auditor and Northeast District President Ralph Meacham for hosting today’s meeting!
