What stands out about how Danbury Township is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Danbury Local School District
Danbury Township’s K–12 school district, shared with Marblehead. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $23,011 per pupil, $14,011 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 Danbury Township collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Danbury Township didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
