On Wednesday I wrote an article about the recently released Ohio Schools Report Cards. I just updated the Tax Graph that shows the relationship of several school districts as per their property tax rates with an overlay of the recent ratings of the schools. All of the school districts that I normally cover in this blog are doing very well. Most notably, the Delaware school district improved from Effective last year to Excellent With Distinction for this year.
Each bar within the school district represents a taxing area within the district. Assessments are based on a dollar amount per $100,000 of assessed value from the county auditor (Delaware or Franklin Counties). Of course, property taxes are used for more than just schools, but school funding makes up a large portion of our property taxes.
To see how the school districts compared with last year’s Report Card ratings, read more here.
Call me if you have questions on interpreting the chart.

Will your land line decide to call 911?
Since police are seldom in my neighborhood, especially at that hour, I didn’t know what to expect. Would guns be drawn????
The officer asked if I had called 911. I hadn’t. He then asked if my phone number was xxx-xxx-xxxx. It was an old land line number that I had canceled 3-4 years ago when I went with my cell phone exclusively. He told me to call the phone company to report it because sometimes these unused lines transmit noise that calls 911. When the 911 operator doesn’t receive a response, they notify the police.
Trying to call Verizon was no small feat because none of their automated options dealt with this problem. Finally, today I was able to speak with a “real” person who had heard of this happening. She took all my info and will report it. I’m not sure what will be
done, but I’ll keep you posted. As more people cancel their land line phones, this problem may become better known.
Let this be a warning to all of you who have also canceled land lines … WEAR PJ’S! You never know when the police will knock on your door. BTW, I told the officer that he might want to stick around since my adrenalin was so high that I might just have a heart attack and really need their help.
