Budget Restructuring<br />
In recent years, school funding in Ohio has been on the decline and the <strong>Mariemont</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> has responded by restructuring<br />
district operations to provide for a less expensive and more efficient basis of operations. As always, the mission of the district to<br />
Prepare the Scholars of Today and Inspire the Leaders of Tomorrow has been at the center of each decision. The Board of Education<br />
has exhibited the ability to make sound business decisions in order to provide for a more efficient school district while keeping the<br />
focus on the mission of preparing all students for a rapidly changing world. While the district has been very successful in cutting<br />
costs through restructuring and greater efficiencies, the work is not yet done. The Board of Education remains committed to seeking<br />
new and innovative methods for improving quality while reducing costs. The entire country is learning to do more with less and<br />
the <strong>Mariemont</strong> <strong>City</strong> School District can be no different. The Board of Education and Administration welcome your suggestions for<br />
reducing costs and increasing efficiencies.<br />
