For the 2025–2026 school year, local funding made up 68.3% of Miamisburg City Schools’ total revenue.
Here’s the breakdown:
🔵 55.8% — Local Property Taxes
🟢 12.5% — Other Local Revenues
Together, 68.3% of the district’s revenue comes from local sources.
State funding and state reimbursements make up the remaining 31.7%.
Understanding where our funding comes from helps our community better understand how we support our students, staff, and schools. 💙
School funding in Miamisburg City Schools uses local, state, federal, and other places.
During the 2025 fiscal year, each $100 received by Miamisburg City Schools came from:
🏠 $50.61 from local sources — 50.6%
🏛️ $30.49 from the State of Ohio — 30.5%
📘 $10.87 from other non-tax sources — 10.9%
🇺🇸 $8.03 from the federal government — 8.0%
Ohio uses a formula to decide how much state money each district gets. The formula looks at:
• How many students attend
• What help those students need
• How much money the local community can raise
Some state money comes with rules. It can only be used for the students or programs named.
For example:
🔹 Special education funds help students with disabilities.
🔹 Preschool special education funds help children ages 3 to 5 with disabilities.
🔹 English learner funds help students learn English.
🔹 Gifted funds help schools find and serve gifted students.
🔹 Career-tech funds support approved job-training classes.
🔹 Funds for students from low-income homes may support counseling, health care, reading help, school safety, and family support.
These funds are important. However, money with these rules cannot always be used for other daily costs, such as teachers, utilities, repairs/maintenance, or classroom supplies.
That is why local funding matters. The local community provides the largest share of funding for Miamisburg City Schools. 💙
*The percentages are from Ohio’s FY2025 District Profile Report, revised March 10, 2026, and represent Miamisburg’s total revenue by source—not merely its foundation-formula state-share percentage.
When discussing school funding, it's important to understand the different options available. This graphic highlights how a school income tax differs from relying primarily on property taxes, including how each funding model can impact homeowners, retirees, working families, and district revenue.
We encourage our community to learn more, ask questions, and stay informed as we continue sharing information about school funding.
Join us tonight at 6:00 p.m. at the Memorial Building for our State of the Schools event!

Miamisburg City Schools Opens Viking Success Center to Support Students Ⓜ️
A new resource designed to help students overcome challenges, build skills and successfully transition back to their home schools.
Miamisburg City Schools is excited to announce the opening of the Viking Success Center, a new supportive in-school placement program located at Maddux Lang and designed to serve students in grades 4–12.
The Viking Success Center provides students with a structured and supportive environment where they can continue their academic instruction while receiving additional social-emotional support and opportunities to develop the skills needed to experience success in school and beyond.
The program focuses on academic instruction, structured routines, positive behavior, attendance, executive functioning and life skills. Through personalized goals, strong relationships and collaboration among students, families and school staff, the Viking Success Center is designed to help students overcome barriers and work toward a successful transition back to their home school following a behavioral incident.
Leading the Viking Success Center is Principal Kelly Dalton, who is entering her 28th year in education. Dalton previously served as the principal of Miamisburg Middle School for 13 years, bringing extensive experience and a strong understanding of the students and families within the Miamisburg community.
“I am really excited to help our students navigate through some of their current challenges so that we can help prepare them to be successful and reduce the amount of time they are out of the building and out of class,” Dalton said.
Dalton is also excited about the team that will work alongside students each day.
“I am very thrilled to work with such a great team who love kids, who are creative and have a common focus, which is helping kids grow,” she said.
Joining Dalton at the Viking Success Center are Viking Success Instructors George Hurbanek and Johnna Fantauzzo and Administrative Assistant Courtney Rathweg. Hurbanek is beginning his 28th year in education and is looking forward to helping students develop the tools they need to succeed.
“We are going to teach them the skills that they need in order to be successful,” Hurbanek said.
Fantauzzo, who is entering her 21st year in education, is excited about the opportunity to work more closely with students and help them move forward in a positive direction.
“I love the opportunity to focus more in depth with students and helping them re-enter schools in a more healthy and positive way,” Fantauzzo said.
Administrative Assistant Courtney Rathweg also sees the Viking Success Center as an important additional resource for Miamisburg students and families.
“I am happy for our families to have an additional resource to be successful,” Rathweg said.
The Viking Success Center represents another way Miamisburg City Schools is working to meet students where they are, provide the support they need and help them continue moving forward.
Miamisburg City Schools is excited to welcome the Viking Success Center to the district and looks forward to the positive impact it will have on students, families and the Miamisburg community.
