JACKSON CENTER — The Jackson Center Local Schools Board of Education approved the five-year forecast for the district during its May 16 meeting.

The forecast, which must be submitted to the Ohio Department of Education by the end of May, included a growing carryover balance over the five years while uncertainty about the economic forecast did impact forecasting for income tax related revenue.

Other results were also shared which were followed by a discussion about the on-going need for improvement when possible while recognizing the challenges and realities for all schools as well as those unique to Jackson Center.
