Source-reported nominal dollars. Amount fields are converted from source thousands to dollars. No inflation adjustment is applied. An exact identifier links published source rows; it does not erase consolidations, closures, reorganizations, or other real institutional changes between years. Constant-dollar comparisons use BLS CPI-U series CUUR0000SA0, annual U.S. city average; this is not a local cost-of-living index. Joined by exact Census PID6 or NCES LEAID; names are never used.

  • Complete historical board results, candidate profiles, and campaign disclosures
  • Exact attendance and board-seat boundaries for an address
  • Normalized meeting agendas, minutes, recorded votes, and decision history
  • School-level outcomes, audited contracts and vendors, and inflation-adjusted spending comparisons

Evidence boundary

What each source proves—and what it does not.

Established by the published records

  • The entity or system appears in the 2025 Census listing.
  • Its Census category, identifier, and functioning/dormant field.
  • Only the location, function, population, enrollment, and contact fields actually published.
  • The dated Ohio OEDS public directory reports the exact IRN, NCES identifier where published, and active non-private board, superintendent, and treasurer role rows shown above.

Not established by these records

  • That the OEDS roster contains every authorized board seat or that a missing holder row means a vacancy.
  • Election method, seat boundaries, term expiration, candidates, results, or meeting votes unless another official source is connected.
  • The exact geographic service boundary or that a reported website remains current.
