Loveland residents can bring their questions about school finances to a public town hall at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, in the Media Center on the Loveland Intermediate School/Loveland Middle School campus.

The Loveland City School District announced the meeting on its social media page Monday, Oct. 19. No formal agenda has been published, but the event gives families and taxpayers a direct line to district officials on spending, revenue and budget planning.

The town hall arrives as Ohio school districts face shifting financial ground. State lawmakers passed legislation at the end of 2025 aimed at delivering $3 billion in property tax relief to homeowners. Those changes also reduced funding for some districts, WLWT reported in April. Multiple Greater Cincinnati districts placed levies on the May 5, 2026, ballot as a result.

Whether Loveland faces similar budget pressures has not been publicly detailed. The district's last levy, an additional tax measure, went before voters in May 2023 and passed with 53.33% support, according to Hamilton County election results. That vote drew 5,158 ballots out of 10,793 registered voters.

District Treasurer John Espy, who has held the post since January 2024 and lives in Loveland, has pointed to the district's financial track record. After Loveland earned the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for fiscal year 2025, Espy said the recognition placed the district in the top 4% nationally.

Espy credited the achievement to staff across the district. He called it "a team effort to follow best accounting practices and be fiscally responsible with the tax dollars entrusted to us by our community," according to a Loveland Daily report on the award. Only about 600 school districts nationwide receive the certificate each year.

Espy previously served as an educator and director in the Milford Exempted Village School District and sits on the boards of the Ohio Association of School Business Officials and the Ohio Education Data Systems Association, according to the district's website.

The Oct. 21 town hall is free and open to the public.
