Both K-12 and higher education would see massive changes and double-digit cuts to funding under Gov. John Kasich’s two-year budget unveiled Tuesday.
State support for local K-12 schools would be slightly increased under the plan, but the loss of federal stimulus money that was built into the current two-year budget will result in an overall 11.5 percent reduction for the next fiscal year and a 4.9 percent reduction in 2013.
Colleges and universities would lose 10.5 percent of funding in 2012, but would see a slight increase of 3.7 percent in 2013 from 2012.
“This is a very tough budget,” said Matt Filipic, Wright State University vice president for fiscal affairs. “It is the biggest reduction in the state budget for higher education I’ve ever seen.”
