We want to make you aware of a concerning trend circulating on TikTok known as the #ChromebookChallenge. In this trend, students are deliberately attempting to make their school-issued Chromebooks emit smoke by inserting objects into the device's ports. This behavior is extremely dangerous and can cause serious damage to the device, pose safety risks, and result in disciplinary consequences.
Please take a moment to talk with your child about the dangers of this trend and reinforce that tampering with school property is not acceptable.
For more information, we encourage you to watch this news report:

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community safe and respectful.
Treasurer Talk – May 2025
Every two years, the state of Ohio develops a budget that includes critical funding for education.
Recently the Ohio House Finance Committee adopted Substitute House Bill 96, which proposes
amendments to the FY26–FY27 operating budget. The bill has since passed in the House and is
now under consideration in the Senate.
Unfortunately, this legislation presents several serious concerns for public education. Most
notably, it eliminates the Fair School Funding Plan (FSFP)—a bipartisan initiative that was
designed to be phased in over six years. We are currently in the final two years of this rollout,
and its removal undermines efforts to ensure equitable and adequate funding for all students.
It is imperative that we advocate for the restoration of the FSFP, complete with full funding and
updated cost inputs that reflect the true cost of education today.
Additionally, the budget bill includes a proposal to cap district cash balances at 30% of annual
expenses at the end of each fiscal year. This measure threatens the financial stability of school
districts, many of which rely on cash reserves to bridge the gap between property tax collection
cycles.
Perhaps most concerning is the continued reduction of the state’s share in funding public
education. What was once ruled unconstitutional is only worsening. If unchanged, the state’s
contribution will fall from 40.8% to just 32% during this biennium, placing an even greater
burden on local taxpayers.
We urge you to contact Representative Pizzulli and Senator Johnson to advocate for:
The full phase-in of the Fair School Funding Plan
Updated cost inputs based on FY24 data
Removal of the proposed 30% cash balance cap
Senator Terry Johnson johnson@!ohiosenate.gov 614-466-8082
Representative Justin Pizzulli Rep14@ohiohouse.gov 614-466-2124
Your voice matters in securing fair and stable funding for our schools.
