What stands out about how Chippewa Township is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Chippewa Local School District
Chippewa Township’s K–12 school district, shared with Doylestown. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $12,364 per pupil, $7,273 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Ohio districts overall: 53% local, 35% state, 12% federal.

Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Chippewa Township collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
