Wynford Local forecasts running short in FY2030

Wynford Local – 046524 (Crawford) · Fiscal Year 2027 First Required Forecast (Fall)

Submission date: 08/12/2026

Wynford Local’s own notes and assumptions for this forecast (PDF) →

Every Ohio school district files a budget forecast with the state: three years of actual figures, this year’s budget and the years ahead. On its own forecast, Wynford Local goes below zero in FY2030 if its current levies are renewed and no new one passes.

Wynford Local: cash, unencumbered, unreserved — four different balances

The forecast has four balance lines, and each is the one before it with something taken away or added. They are easy to mix up, and they are not the same number.

Line ActualFY2026 BudgetFY2027 ForecastFY2030
07.020 Cash balance at June 30Everything in the general fund's account at the end of the year. 4,088,153 4,601,716 (1,016,860)
08.010 Already committedEncumbrances: purchase orders and contracts signed, not yet paid. − 375,353 − 0 − 0
10.010 Unencumbered balanceWhat is free to spend. The state calls it the fund balance for certification of appropriations. 3,712,800 4,601,716 (1,016,860)
11.300 Renewal leviesExisting levies the district expects voters to renew, added year by year. + 0 + 0 + 962,577
12.010 With renewalsThe balance if every renewal passes and nothing new does. 3,712,800 4,601,716 (54,283)
15.010 Unreserved fund balanceThe state's bottom line. In a forecast year it counts any new levy above as if it had passed. 3,712,800 4,601,716 (54,283)

Swipe sideways for more columns.

For past years the state asks for no renewal or new-levy money, so the unencumbered and unreserved balances are the same; cash is larger by what is already committed and set aside. In a forecast year the unreserved balance counts any new levy as if it had passed.

Dollars, except the two enrolment lines (20.010 and 20.015), which are pupils. A line that is zero in every year is left out, as the state’s report leaves it out — except the renewal and new-levy lines (11 and 13), which are always shown, because a zero there is the answer.

From the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce’s bulk forecast files — the filings its Forecast Submissions report shows one district at a time, to the dollar. A county’s figures are the traditional districts the state files under it, added together; Ohio’s are all of them. Each district writes its own forecast, and nothing here is estimated. The 49 career centers file their own forecasts and are listed under their home county, but are in no total: each serves several counties.
